Joel Blomqvist

22-Year-Old GoalieG
2024 Fantasy Outlook
The 2024-25 campaign was expected to be another year in the minors for Blomqvist, despite the fact that he went an impressive 25-12-6 with a 2.16 GAA and .921 save percentage in 45 games for AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. Those plans changed when backup netminder Alex Nedeljkovic suffered a lower-body injury during training camp. Now, the 22-year-old Blomqvist will start the year with the NHL club and will likely feature right away thanks to a season-opening back-to-back for Pittsburgh. Still, once Nedlejkovic is cleared to return, Blomqvist figures to be re-assigned to the minors. Read Past Outlooks
$Signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Penguins in April of 2023.
Sent to AHL
GPittsburgh Penguins  Minors
November 14, 2024
Blomqvist was reassigned to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Blomqvist is the odd man out as the Penguins will now go with Alex Nedeljkovic and Tristan Jarry as their two goaltenders. Blomqvist was 3-5-0 with 3.61 GAA and a .904 save percentage in eight starts this season. The 22-year-old netminder will get more experience at the AHL level the rest of the way and could get recalled due to an injury or trade of either Nedeljkovic or Jarry.
