  • Penguins' Joel Blomqvist: Overcomes slow start Friday

    Blomqvist allowed three goals on 29 shots in Friday's 7-3 preseason win over the Blue Jackets.

    Blomqvist endured a rough start Friday and gave up two goals over the opening 5:05 of playing time, but he settled down afterward and conceded just one goal the rest of the way. Blomqvist has yet to make his NHL debut after being selected in the second round of the 2020 NHL Draft. However, he has a shot at opening the regular season against the Rangers on Oct. 9 as Tristan Jarry's backup because Alex Nedeljkovic (lower body) is unavailable.

  • Penguins' Joel Blomqvist: Starting Friday

    Blomqvist will patrol the home crease versus Columbus on Friday, Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site reports.

    Blomqvist will play the entire game according to coach Mike Sullivan. Blomqvist has yet to make his NHL debut after he was selected in the second round, 52nd overall, in 2020. The 22-year-old netminder was 25-12-6 with a 2.16 GAA and a .921 save percentage in 45 regular-season appearances for AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton in 2023-24. With Alex Nedeljkovic (lower body) currently week-to-week, Blomqvist figures to enter the 2024-25 campaign as the No. 2 option behind Tristan Jarry.

  • Penguins' Joel Blomqvist: Set for preseason action

    Blomqvist will defend the road net Saturday in exhibition action against Buffalo.

    Blomqvist provided a 25-12-6 record with a 2.16 GAA and a .921 save percentage in 45 regular-season contests for AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton in 2023-24. The 22-year-old netminder will probably begin the upcoming campaign in the minors because Tristan Jarry and Alex Nedeljkovic rank ahead of him on the goaltending depth chart.

  • Penguins' Joel Blomqvist: Returns to minors

    Blomqvist was sent to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Wednesday.

    Pittsburgh summoned Blomqvist on Tuesday because Tristan Jarry was unavailable for Tuesday's 6-3 win over New Jersey due to an illness. If Jarry still isn't ready to return for Thursday's road game against Washington, Blomqvist might be recalled.

  • Penguins' Joel Blomqvist: Added to NHL roster

    Blomqvist has been added to the Penguins' roster Tuesday, per the NHL media site.

    Blomqvist's addition to the roster could be an indication that Tristan Jarry (illness) once again won't be available against New Jersey on Tuesday. The Penguins didn't carry a second netmidner on the roster versus the Rangers on Monday but will at least have Blomqvist available if needed.
