Injury Update (Concussion) None - OUT

Date News Advice
April 19, 2024 Bemstrom suffered a concussion which sidelined him for the season finale against the Islanders on Wednesday, Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports reports. - Bemstrom will be a restricted free agent this offseason, so he should get the opportunity to spend a full season with Pittsburgh. In his 24 appearances this year, the 24-year-old center notched three goals and two assists while averaging a career-low 8:47 of ice time. None
April 17, 2024 Bemstrom will not be in the lineup against the Islanders on Wednesday with an undisclosed injury, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports. - Bemstrom's brief time with the Penguins will come to an unfortunate end as he misses the season finale versus New York. Since joining Pittsburgh at the trade deadline, the 24-year-old center recorded just three goals and two assists in 24 games while averaging 8:47 of ice time. With Bemstrom out of the lineup, either Jesse Puljujarvi or Radim Zohorna figures to suit up. None
April 15, 2024 Bemstrom scored an unassisted goal in the third period during Monday's 4-2 win over Nashville. - Bemstrom's ice time has plummeted. He's averaging just under nine minutes per game on the season, but has been at 5:35 or less for the last four games. Fantasy managers won't find much opportunity for depth production here. Still, it's nice to see the Bemstrom tally after going six games without a point and collecting just a single goal in the 22 games prior to Monday's tilt. He now has eight goals and 16 points through 56 games. None
April 2, 2024 Bemstrom scored a goal on one shot in Monday's 5-2 win over the Rangers. - Bemstrom was back in the lineup after being a healthy scratch for the previous three contests. The 24-year-old forward's tally ended a 15-game goal drought during which he managed just two helpers to go with 25 shots, 10 blocks and seven hits. None
Feb. 22, 2024 Bemstrom was traded from the Blue Jackets to the Penguins on Thursday in exchange for Alex Nylander and a conditional sixth-round pick in 2026. - Bemstrom has 11 points in 32 contests for the Blue Jackets this season, giving him 69 points over 204 career appearances. The 24-year-old winger has never really managed more than a bottom-six role, but the Penguins will bring him in with the hopes he can improve their scoring depth. Bemstrom will likely remain in a bottom-six role once he links up with the Penguins. None
Dec. 8, 2023 Bemstrom scored a goal on three shots and earned an assist in Thursday's 7-3 defeat to the Islanders. - Bemstrom broke out of a six-game goalless streak with his tally Thursday and is no doubt staking a claim to a spot on the NHL roster. If he continues to produce at a high level, he should avoid spending significant time in the minors and could top the career-best 22 points he put up last season. None
Dec. 6, 2023 Bemstrom was called up by Columbus on Wednesday. - Bemstrom has 10 goals and 14 points in eight contests with AHL Cleveland this season. He's also recorded three markers and four points in 12 appearances with Columbus. Cole Sillinger (upper body) was placed on the injured reserve list in a corresponding move. Between Sillinger's injury and Eric Robinson being traded from the Blue Jackets to Buffalo on Wednesday, Bemstrom will likely draw into the lineup Thursday versus the Islanders. None
Nov. 27, 2023 Bemstrom has nine goals and 11 points in six games for AHL Cleveland since clearing waivers and being sent down by the Blue Jackets. - A fourth-round pick in the 2017 NHL Draft, Bemstrom has never been able to make an impact with Columbus, but the 24-year-old is too skilled to be in the minors -- in 31 career games for Cleveland, he's racked up 25 goals and 44 points. He might need a fresh start with another organization, but having already cleared waivers once, interest around the league would seem to be low. Per Aaron Portzline of The Athletic, Bemstrom will become a restricted free agent next summer. None
Nov. 15, 2023 Bemstrom was placed on waivers by the Jackets on Wednesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports. - Bemstrom's potential demotion to the minors, assuming he clears, comes as a bit of a surprise considering Jack Roslovic (ankle) is not expected back until mid-December. For Thursday's matchup with Arizona, Mathieu Olivier could be an option with Bemstrom in the minors or the club could bring Kent Johnson back from the minors. None
Oct. 27, 2023 Bemstrom scored two power-play goals in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Canadiens. - He fired home a one-timer from the top of the faceoff circle in the first period before tapping home a slick pass from Jack Roslovic in the second to give his squad a 3-1 lead, but the Blue Jackets couldn't make it stick. Bemstrom was held without a point through his first four games of the season, but he's now found the back of the net three times in the last two, with all three tallies coming on the man advantage. The 24-year-old's fantasy value will be tied to his spot on the first power-play unit, which could disappear as soon as Patrik Laine (upper body) is ready to return, but Bemstrom should have some short-term appeal in deeper formats. None
Sept. 30, 2023 Bemstrom has scored two goals, including one on the power play, and added an assist in two preseason games as he fights to secure a spot on the Blue Jackets' Opening Night roster, Brian Hedger of The Columbus Dispatch reports. - The 24-year-old winger hasn't been able to develop into a consistent offensive force in the NHL since his arrival in 2019-20, although he did manage a career-high 22 points (seven goals, 15 assists) in 55 games last season. The Blue Jackets' forward ranks got even more crowded this offseason, especially with the arrival of 2023 third overall pick Adam Fantilli, and Bemstrom could be pushed off the roster as a result, especially if new head coach Pascal Vincent isn't convinced he's a good defensive fit for fourth-line duty. None
March 21, 2023 Bemstrom tallied a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 7-6 overtime win over the Capitals. - Bemstrom set up Adam Boqvist's tally in the second period before scoring a goal in the third, tying the game 5-5 with a one-timer off a Patrik Laine feed. Bemstrom had just one point (an assist) in his previous five contests. The 23-year-old winger is up to six goals and 19 points through 43 games this season. None
March 8, 2023 Bemstrom scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Penguins. - Bemstrom's first multi-point effort since Jan. 5 and first goal since Dec, 31 helped give the Blue Jackets a 4-0 lead early in the second period which they somehow squandered, although if they wind up landing Connor Bedard in the draft, lost points like this may end up being crucial. On the season, Bemstrom has five goals and 16 points through 37 games, and his bottom-six role at even strength and second-unit power-play duty on one of the league's weakest offenses don't carry a lot of fantasy appeal. None
Feb. 26, 2023 Bemstrom recorded an assist in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Wild. - He has yet to find the back of the net in 2023 -- his last tally came Dec. 31, and his goal drought now stands at 24 games -- but Bemstrom has managed a modest three helpers in the last six games. As long as he remains in a bottom-six role on a poor Columbus offense, the 23-year-old has little fantasy appeal. None
Jan. 5, 2023 Bemstrom registered two assists in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Capitals. - Bemstrom had a part in both of Columbus' goals Thursday, forcing a turnover that set up Johnny Gaudreau's tally in the first period before adding a second helper on Gavin Bayreuther's goal in the second. Bemstrom has been effective since he was recalled by the Blue Jackets on Dec. 29, logging two goals and two assists in four games. With Columbus struggling, the 23-year-old winger could see an extended look on the top line alongside Gaudreau and Kent Johnson. None
Dec. 29, 2022 Bemstrom scored a third-period goal during a 2-1 loss to the host Islanders on Thursday. - On emergency recall from AHL Cleveland, Bemstrom dressed for his first NHL game since Nov. 23 and notched his third goal of the season by redirecting Marcus Bjork's slap shot off his chest. When summoned Wednesday, the 23-year-old right winger ranked sixth in AHL scoring with 31 points, including 14 goals. Generating three shots versus the Blue Jackets, Bemstrom has produced three points in his past four appearances. None
Dec. 28, 2022 Bemstrom was promoted from AHL Cleveland on Wednesday. - Bemstrom will get another shot in the NHL after having been shipped down to the minors back in November. In that previous stint, the 23-year-old center registered two goals and two assists in seven contests. Bemstrom should jump into the lineup against the Islanders on Thursday. None
Nov. 24, 2022 Bemstrom was reassigned to AHL Cleveland on Thursday, - Bemstrom started the season with Cleveland and had seven goals and seven assists in 10 games before his promotion on Nov. 7. He had two goals and four points in seven contests with the Blue Jackets. None
Nov. 17, 2022 Bemstrom (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision Thursday against Montreal, per Blue Jackets team reporter Jeff Svoboda. - This is according to coach Brad Larsen. Bemstrom has a goal and two points in three games this season after he was recalled from AHL Cleveland 10 days ago. He's torn apart the AHL this year, having racked up seven goals and 14 points in only 10 games. None
Nov. 12, 2022 Bemstrom scored a goal and added an assist in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Islanders. - The talented AHL scorer didn't take long to make his presence felt on NHL ice. Bemstrom split the D after taking a stretch pass from Jake Bean and beat Ilya Sorokin high blocker side. It pushed the Blue Jackets up 2-1 at 10:15 of the second. Bemstrom needs to clear waivers to return to the AHL, so he could get an extended look in the short term. None
Nov. 7, 2022 Bemstrom was recalled from AHL Cleveland on Monday. - Bemstrom has seven goals and 14 points in 10 minor-league contests this year. He notched six goals and five assists in 41 games with Columbus during the 2021-22 campaign. None
Oct. 9, 2022 Bemstrom was waived by Columbus on Sunday. - The Blue Jackets will assign Bemstrom to the minors if he clears. He had six goals and 11 points in 41 games for Columbus last year and has 36 points (19 goals, 17 assists) across 117 career NHL contests. None
Aug. 3, 2022 Bemstrom signed a two-year, $1.8 million deal with Columbus on Wednesday. - Bemstrom has logged 117 games for the club over the last three seasons in which he has garnered a combined 19 goals and 17 helpers while averaging 11:45 of ice time. The winger ended the previous campaign mired in an eight-game pointless streak during which he generated just 10 shots. Even if he does make the 23-man roster for Opening Night versus the Hurricanes, he is far from a lock for the lineup every game and could spend some time in the press box. None
April 14, 2022 Bemstrom scored a goal and an assist in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Canadiens. - Both points came in the third period as the Blue Jackets pulled away. Bemstrom was part of a dynamite night for Columbus' top two lines, as all six players recorded multi-point performances, but on the season the 22-year-old has only six goals and 11 points through 33 games. None
March 25, 2022 Bemstrom supplied an assist in Friday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Jets. - The Blue Jackets got some help from their fourth line as Bemstrom set up Brendan Gaunce on the team's second goal of the game. The 22-year-old Bemstrom has three points in his last three outings, though his ice time remains limited to a fourth-line role. For the season, the Swedish forward has seven points, 36 shots on net and a plus-2 rating through 24 appearances. None
March 20, 2022 Bemstrom registered a goal and an assist in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Blues. - Bemstrom has recorded a point in four games this season, with box-score multipliers in half of those. There's a lot to like about Columbus' fourth-round (No. 117) overall pick from 2017, but for now he's paying his dues on the fourth line. None
Feb. 24, 2022 Bemstrom was recalled from AHL Cleveland on Thursday, Brian Hedger of The Columbus Dispatch reports. - The 22-year-old last saw action with the Blue Jackets on Jan. 31, spending most of February in the COVID-19 protocols before being assigned to Cleveland on Wednesday. After picking up an assist in a 2-1 overtime loss to Grand Rapids, Bemstrom was deemed ready to return to the big club, but he's not expected to be in the lineup Thursday against the Panthers. None
Feb. 23, 2022 Bemstrom was assigned to AHL Cleveland on Wednesday. - Bemstrom has sat as a healthy scratch for two straight contests since exiting the NHL's COVID-19 protocols Saturday, so this move doesn't come as a surprise. The 22-year-old forward has, however, picked up four points through 13 NHL appearances this season, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him get another look with the big club in the near future. None
Feb. 19, 2022 Per Blue Jackets team reporter Jeff Svoboda, Bemstrom is on the ice for Saturday's practice, indicating he's cleared the NHL's COVID-19 protocols. - Bemstrom will presumably be an option for Sunday's matchup with Buffalo after missing five games while in the NHL's COVID-19 protocols. He's picked up four points through 13 top-level appearances this year. None
Feb. 7, 2022 Bemstrom was designated for the NHL's COVID-19 protocols Monday. - Since returning from an oblique injury Dec. 30 against Nashville, Bemstrom has recorded two goals on 22 shots, two assists and seven hits while averaging 10:00 of ice time. The 22-year-old natural center will likely miss the Jacket's next three games and will see Trey Fix-Wolansky added to the lineup in his stead. None
Jan. 11, 2022 Bemstrom finished with two PIM and a hit in a 4-2 loss to the Blackhawks on Tuesday. - Bemstrom also contributed one shot. After a 20-point rookie campaign, the 22-year-old has not gotten much NHL action over the last two seasons. The center missed much of this season with an oblique injury, returning to the lineup for Columbus on Dec. 30 against Nashville. Bemstrom has one point in six games this season. None
Dec. 8, 2021 Bemstrom was promoted to the Jackets' NHL roster on Wednesday. - Bemstrom has yet to get into a game for Columbus this season due to an oblique injury suffered during the preseason. After logging three games for the Monsters, in which he recorded one goal, two PIM and minus-4 rating, the 22-year-old center will get a chance to crack the lineup. None
Dec. 2, 2021 Bemstrom (oblique) was activated off injured reserve and assigned to AHL Cleveland on Thursday. - Bemstrom has yet to play this season due to an oblique injury, so he'll head to the minors to get his game in order before presumably getting a look with the big club later this season. The 22-year-old forward picked up five points through 20 appearances with the Blue Jackets last year. None
Nov. 10, 2021 Bemstrom (oblique) returned to practice Monday, Bailey Johnson and Brian Hedger of The Columbus Dispatch report. - The 22-year-old was placed on IR in mid-October and has yet to play a game this season. Bemstrom could be ready to rejoin the lineup this weekend, but with the Jackets playing well, coach Brad Larsen may not be inclined to juggle his forward lines to find room for him. None

2024-04-15 analysis Bemstrom's ice time has plummeted. He's averaging just under nine minutes per game on the season, but has been at 5:35 or less for the last four games. Fantasy managers won't find much opportunity for depth production here. Still, it's nice to see the Bemstrom tally after going six games without a point and collecting just a single goal in the 22 games prior to Monday's tilt. He now has eight goal

2023-12-09 analysis Bemstrom broke out of a six-game goalless streak with his tally Thursday. If he continues to produce at a high level, he should avoid spending significant time in the minors and could top the career-best 22 points he put up last season. Bemstrom helped out on Adam Fantilli's go-ahead goal in the first period. Since he was recalled from AHL Cleveland earlier in the week, Bemstrom has three points over two appearances. The 24-year-old has an open trade request, but it's unlikely to be fulfilled while the Blue Jackets need him. He's produced seven points, 24 shots on net and a minus-5 rating through 14 NHL outings this season.
