Date News Advice
Jan. 5, 2025 Pyyhtia scored a shorthanded goal in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Blues. - Pyyhtia has played in 11 straight games, picking up three goals and a helper in that span. His tally Saturday was the first shorthanded point of his NHL career. The 23-year-old forward has been effective in a bottom-six role, but not to a level that would garner fantasy interest. Overall, he has four goals, two assists, 24 shots on net, 28 blocked shots and a minus-10 rating over 30 appearances. None
Dec. 27, 2024 Pyyhtia was recalled from AHL Cleveland on Friday. - Pyyhtia has spent most of the season with the Blue Jackets as he has three goals and an assist in 25 regular-season games in 2024-25. Pyyhtia has had some success of late with a pair of goals in his last four games. He should see fourth line action alongside Sean Kuraly and Kevin Labanc. None
Dec. 23, 2024 Pyyhtia was loaned to AHL Cleveland on Monday. - Pyyhtia had one shot, one hit and one blocked shot in 10:55 of ice time Monday versus the Canadiens. The 23-year-old could rejoin Columbus after the NHL's Christmas break, but that remains to be seen. The Finnish forward has produced three goals and an assist through 25 games with the Blue Jackets this season. None
Dec. 21, 2024 Pyyhtia scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Flyers. - Pyyhtia has scored twice over the last three contests while seeing fourth-line minutes. The 23-year-old winger is up to four points, 17 shots on net, 15 hits, 24 blocked shots and a minus-10 rating through 24 appearances this season. He'll likely remain in the lineup at least as long as Justin Danforth (lower body) is out, though Pyyhtia could stick around on the NHL roster to compete with Kevin Labanc for playing time. None
Dec. 18, 2024 Pyyhtia scored a goal in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Lightning. - Pyyhtia tallied on his 23rd birthday, getting the Blue Jackets on the board in the third period. The 23-year-old winger has reclaimed a bottom-six role during the absence of Justin Danforth (lower body). Pyyhtia is at two goals, one assist, 14 shots on net, 15 hits, 23 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating through 22 appearances, giving him a minimal chance of being a major contributor in fantasy. None
Dec. 5, 2024 Pyyhtia notched an assist and three blocked shots in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Oilers. - Pyyhtia earned his first game action during this call-up. He's in the lineup to fill in for Yegor Chinakhov (upper body), though Pyythia has played more of a defensive style in a bottom-six role at the NHL level. He has two points, 11 shots on net, 21 blocked shots, 12 hits and a minus-6 rating over 18 appearances this season. None
Dec. 1, 2024 Pyyhtia was recalled from AHL Cleveland on Sunday. - Pyyhtia has collected one goal, 11 shots on net, 18 blocked shots and 11 hits in 17 NHL appearances this season. He could occupy a bottom-six role in Sunday's game versus Chicago or serve as an extra forward. None
Nov. 20, 2024 Pyyhtia was reassigned to AHL Cleveland on Wednesday. - Pyyhtia has a goal, 11 hits and 18 blocks in 17 appearances with the Blue Jackets in 2024-25. He was a scratch Monday, and the Blue Jackets still have 12 healthy forwards on their roster after shifting him to the minors. None
Oct. 29, 2024 Pyyhtia scored a goal on two shots with a plus-3 rating in Monday's 6-1 win over the Oilers. - Stationed on the second line with Adam Fantilli and Cole Sillinger, Pyyhtia banged home Columbus' fourth tally of the night late in the third period. It was Pyyhtia's first career NHL goal in his 27th game, and his first point of the season. The 2020 fourth-round pick appears to have earned the trust of new coach Dean Evason, and if he remains on a line with two talented teammates -- Fantilli and Sillinger were both top-12 picks in their respective draft years -- Pyyhtia could begin to accumulate some offense of his own. None
Oct. 5, 2024 Pyythia scored a goal on two shots in Friday's 7-3 preseason loss to the Penguins. - Pyythia opened the scoring less than five minutes into the first period and set up what seemed to be a strong start for the Blue Jackets, though any momentum would vanish as the game progressed. Pyythia is expected to carve a role as a bottom-six forward for Columbus this season after putting up two assists on 17 appearances during the 2023-24 campaign. None
April 16, 2024 Pyythia was reassigned to AHL Cleveland on Tuesday. - Pyythia earned an assist in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Hurricanes. The 22-year-old winger will return to the AHL affiliate after posting two helpers across 17 outings at the NHL level this season. None
March 13, 2024 Pyyhtia was called up from AHL Cleveland on Wednesday. - Pyyhtia has seven goals and 27 points in 57 contests with Cleveland this season. The 22-year-old might draw into the lineup Thursday versus Ottawa if Yegor Chinakhov (upper body) is unavailable. None
April 15, 2023 Pyyhtia was returned to AHL Cleveland on Friday. - Pyyhtia saw his first NHL action in his young career this week, getting into a pair of games. He managed an assist in a 3-2 win over Pittsburgh on Thursday before being shut down Friday in a loss to the Sabres. Pyyhtia came over in March from Finland and had three goals in six AHL games with Cleveland before his promotion to the Blue Jackets. None
April 12, 2023 Pyyhtia was summoned by Columbus under emergency conditions Wednesday. - Pyyhtia has three goals in six games with AHL Cleveland this season. Prior to that, he recorded seven goals and 20 points in 47 contests with the Finnish club TPS in 2022-23. He hasn't played in the NHL yet. None
