The 30-year-old has three goals, 15 shots on net, 41 hits and 16 PIM through 10 playoff contests.

Bjugstad produced an assist, four hits and four PIM in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Golden Knights.

Coyotes' Nick Bjugstad: Three-game, four-point streak
Bjugstad scored a goal Saturday in a 5-3 loss to the Lightning.
Don't look now, but the forward has a modest three-game, four-point streak on the go (two goals, two assists). Bjugstad doesn't have a lot of fantasy value, but it's a positive to see the massive 30-year-old on his best pace since 2017-18 in Florida, when he put up 49 points.
