On the season, he's posted a 3-4-0 record, 3.25 GAA and .913 save percentage over seven games, and he'll attempt to remain effective in a second consecutive start Monday. None
Nov. 8, 2024 Blomqvist is set to start on the road against Washington on Friday, per Tom Gulitti of NHL.com. - Blomqvist is drawing a tough assignment. Washington is 9-3-0 and ranks fourth offensively with 4.08 goals per game. Blomqvist, who is making his first start since Oct. 29, has a 2-4-0 record, 3.47 GAA and .909 save percentage in six outings in 2024-25. He has lost his last three starts while allowing 12 goals on 127 shots (.906 save percentage) over that span. None
Oct. 30, 2024 Blomqvist stopped 34 of 38 shots in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Wild. The fifth goal was an empty-netter with 19 seconds left in the third period. - The Penguins raced to a 2-0 lead in the first period, but Minnesota responded with four unanswered goals to build an advantage they'd never relinquish. Blomqvist hasn't had a good start to the season and has been defeated in four of his last five appearances, going 1-4-0 with a 3.56 GAA in that span, although with a .909 save percentage. Expect Alex Nedeljkovic to remain as the Penguins' starting goalie for the foreseeable future. None
Oct. 29, 2024 Blomqvist will be in the blue paint for Tuesday's home matchup versus Minnesota, Matt Vensel of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. - Blomqvist will make his fifth start and sixth appearance of the campaign-- the 22-year-old is 2-3-0 with a .911 save percentage and 3.34 GAA. The Finnish netminder registered wins in two of his first three appearances, but he's given up four goals in back-to-back losses. The Wild have buried 29 goals through eight games. None
Oct. 25, 2024 Blomqvist will start Friday's road game against the Oilers, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports. - Blomqvist didn't start in either of Pittsburgh's last two games, but he'll be in the crease for the first half of a back-to-back Friday. Over his four starts this season, the 22-year-old has posted a 2-2-0 record, 3.16 GAA and .908 save percentage. None
Oct. 19, 2024 Blomqvist stopped 35 of 39 shots in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Hurricanes. - Blomqvist gave up four unanswered goals in this one and has been inconsistent, flipping solid and subpar displays every time he steps in the crease. The 22-year-old netminder sits at 2-2-0 on the season, posting a .908 save percentage and a 3.16 GAA through four appearances. However, he's posted a save percentage below .910 in three of his four outings, which could be a cause for concern. None
Oct. 18, 2024 Blomqvist was the first goalie off the ice Friday, Wes Crosby of NHL.com reports, indicating he'll be in goal at home versus Carolina. - Blomqvist will look to build off Wednesday's 26-save relief performance versus the Sabres in which he helped the Pens secure a come-from-behind overtime victory. To open the season, the 22-year-old backstop is 2-1-0 with a 2.86 GAA and .913 save percentage while significantly outplaying Tristan Jarry. At this point, Blomqvist could see the bulk of the workload until Alex Nedeljkovic (lower body) returns from a conditioning assignment. None
Oct. 17, 2024 Blomqvist turned aside 26 of 28 shots after replacing Tristan Jarry midway through the first period in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Sabres. - The 22-year-old entered the game with the Penguins down 3-1, and his strong performance wound up netting him his second win in three appearances this season. Blomqvist's 2.86 GAA and .913 save percentage are making a case for a bigger role in the Pittsburgh crease, and perhaps even the starting job given Jarry's atrocious 5.45 GAA and .833 save percentage -- at least until Alex Nedeljkovic (lower body) gets healthy. None
Oct. 12, 2024 Blomqvist was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site reports, indicating he will defend the road net in Saturday's road matchup against Toronto. - During his NHL debut, Blomqvist stopped 29 of 32 shots in Thursday's 6-4 win over Detroit. As a result, he will make his second straight start. Toronto is coming off a 4-2 victory over New Jersey on Thursday. None
Oct. 10, 2024 Blomqvist will protect the road goal versus the Red Wings on Thursday, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports. - Blomqvist will make his NHL debut Thursday as the Penguins play the second half of a back-to-back. Tristan Jarry handled the goaltending duties in a 6-0 loss to the Rangers on Wednesday. Blomqvist is in the backup role to begin 2024-25 while Alex Nedeljkovic (lower body) remains sidelined. None
Oct. 5, 2024 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 minutes, 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, and he has a shot at opening the regular season against the Rangers on Oct. 9 as Tristan Jarry's backup while Alex Nedeljkovic (lower body) remains on a week-to-week status. None
Oct. 4, 2024 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. None
Sept. 21, 2024 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. None
April 3, 2024 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. None
April 2, 2024 Blomqvist has been added to the Penguins' roster Tuesday, per the NHL media site. - Blomqvist addition to the roster could be an indication that Tristan Jarry (illness) once again won't be available against New Jersey on Tueesday. 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. None
Nov. 11, 2023 Blomqvist was reassigned to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Saturday. - Blomqvist was recalled Thursday and backed up Magnus Hellberg when Tristan Jarry (eye) was unable to play against the Kings. Jarry will get the Saturday start versus the Sabres, with his return pushing Blomqvist off Pittsburgh's roster. Blomqvist was 4-2-0 with a 1.91 GAA and .920 save percentage in seven AHL games before his recall. None
Nov. 9, 2023 Blomqvist was brought up from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Thursday, per Seth Rorabaugh of TribLive.com. - Blomqvist's promotion all but guarantees that Tristan Jarry (face) will not be available against the Kings on Thursday and that Magnus Hellberg will get the starting nod. The Penguins don't have a back-to-back on the short-term schedule, so Blomqvist is unlikely to get a start unless Jarry is out for a significant period of time. None
