Boqvist scored a goal on two shots in Monday's 8-3 win over the Predators.

Panthers' Jesper Boqvist: First goal since Opening Night
Rotowire
Boqvist scored a goal in Monday's 3-2 win over the Golden Knights.
Boqvist has two points over his last three games, but this was his first goal since he found the twine Opening Night against the Blackhawks on Oct. 7. That lack of production, coupled with his bottom-six role in the lineup, makes Boqvist a player not worth targeting outside of the deepest formats -- even with the recent uptick in production.

Panthers' Jesper Boqvist: Nets winner on opening night
Rotowire
Boqvist scored a goal Tuesday in a 3-2 win over Chicago.
Boqvist had a great night -- his goal stood as the winner -- but that still doesn't make him fantasy relevant. He is coming off a career-tying 23-point season, and the 26-year-old set career highs in goals (12) and shots (87). Boqvist's effectiveness in the bottom six is his calling card, so his fantasy value is limited.

Panthers' Jesper Boqvist: Racks up three points Saturday
Rotowire
Boqvist scored a goal, dished two assists, added three hits and went plus-4 in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Hurricanes in Game 3.
Boqvist took the place of Sam Reinhart (lower body) on the top line. It took some time for the Panthers' offense to get going in this contest, but Boqvist earned all three of his points in a span of 9:08 during the team's third-period rally. Boqvist lost his place in the lineup after opening the postseason with seven straight scoreless outings, an extension of his drought to end the regular season. He's since picked up five points over his last three contests. The 26-year-old will likely stay in the lineup for as long as Reinhart is out, giving Boqvist some appeal as a budget option in DFS in the short term.

Panthers' Jesper Boqvist: Two points in return to lineup
Rotowire
Boqvist scored a goal and added an assist Wednesday in the Panthers' 6-1 win over the Maple Leafs in Game 5 of their second-round series.
After being a healthy scratch for Games 3 and 4, the 26-year-old wasted little time in making an impact as he helped set up an Aaron Ekblad tally late in the first period that opened the scoring. Boqvist then potted his first goal this postseason in the second frame, tapping home a slick feed from Sam Reinhart. Boqvist skated in a top-six role at even strength with Evan Rodrigues (undisclosed) unavailable, which could make him an intriguing DFS option Friday for Game 6 if Rodrigues is sidelined once again.

Panthers' Jesper Boqvist: Quiet on offense
Rotowire
Boqvist has just one assist over his last 18 games after being held off the scoresheet Thursday in a 4-1 win over the Red Wings.
Boqvist's play early in the season earned him a two-year contract extension March 4, but he has little to show for since putting pen to paper. Overall, he's matched his career high of 23 points this season (12 goals, 11 assists), while adding 81 shots on net, 174 hits and a plus-1 rating over 75 appearances. He's not at risk of losing his spot in the lineup yet, as he plays a valuable defensive role in the bottom six.

Panthers' Jesper Boqvist: Hands out helper in win
Rotowire
Boqvist produced an assist and two hits in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Predators.
Boqvist has just two helpers over nine games since his last goal. He's seen time as a middle-six forward for much of the season, and he should continue to see more ice time as long as Matthew Tkachuk (groin) is out of action. Boqvist is up to 12 goals, 10 helpers, 62 shots on net, 128 hits and an even plus-minus rating through 56 appearances. He's one point shy of matching his career high from 56 games in 2021-22, though his uptick in production this year is fueled by a 19.4 shooting percentage that could dip down the stretch.

Boqvist scored a goal Saturday in a 3-0 win over the Ducks.
Boqvist drove in on John Gibson at 11:22 of the second period and scored his career-high 11th goal on a wrister that trickled through the netminder. He has six goals, two assists and 17 shots in his last 10 games after putting up 11 points in his first 34 outings.

Panthers' Jesper Boqvist: Tallies twice in win
Rotowire
Boqvist scored two goals on three shots, added five hits and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 4-1 win over Utah.
Boqvist's pair of goals came in the third period. He scored early in the frame, with that goal being the game-winner before adding an empty-netter later on. The 26-year-old forward has four goals and two assists over his last five outings, and it looks like he's meshing well on a line with Anton Lundell and Carter Verhaeghe as the Panthers continue to spread out their offense.

Rotowire
Boqvist produced an assist and three hits in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Avalanche.
Boqvist continues to chip in -- he has four points over his last four contests. The 26-year-old is doing his part in a third-line role, and while that's not usually enough for fantasy managers, he's a lock to be in the lineup when healthy. Boqvist has 15 points -- surpassing his total from last season (14) with the Bruins -- while adding 38 shots on net, 82 hits and a minus-3 rating over 38 appearances. He could take a run at his career-high 23-point effort from 2021-22.

Panthers' Jesper Boqvist: Will be checked for injury
Rotowire
Boqvist left Wednesday's game versus the Wild due to an upper-body injury sustained in the third period and will be evaluated further Thursday, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.
Boqvist hit his head on the glass near the bench. He had an assist in the contest, his sixth point in the last 10 games. The Panthers can't afford many injuries at center -- Aleksander Barkov just returned from an illness and Sam Bennett missed Wednesday's contest while under the weather as well. Boqvist should be considered questionable to play Friday at home versus the Blues.

Panthers' Jesper Boqvist: Pots goal in win
Rotowire
Boqvist scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Friday's 6-3 win over the Hurricanes.
Boqvist opened the scoring at 2:26 of the first period. He has four goals this season, but he's had at least four games between each of his tallies, and he hasn't earned an assist since Oct. 12. The 26-year-old forward has six points, and he's added 24 shots on net, 57 hits and a minus-7 rating through 24 outings overall. He's filling a bottom-six role, so he's unlikely to be a steady source of offense.
