Devils' Jesper Boqvist: Two-goal game Sunday
Boqvist scored two goals in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Coyotes.

He's up to seven tallies, 14 points, 46 shots on net, 30 hits and a plus-3 rating through 52 outings. It was a good time for Boqvist to get back in the goal column, as the Devils improved their forward depth by bringing in Timo Meier and Curtis Lazar at the trade deadline, the latter of whom could challenge for Boqvist's spot in the bottom six.

Devils' Jesper Boqvist: Point drought reaches 18 games

Devils' Jesper Boqvist: Picked on in limited TOI
Boqvist had one shot and a minus-2 rating over just 3:31 TOI in Monday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Rangers.
Boqvist skated only six shifts, but the Rangers still managed to burn New Jersey with goals on two of those shifts. His ice time can't drop much lower than this, so a healthy scratch is the next logical step for Boqvist if he doesn't pick up his play.

Devils' Jesper Boqvist: Chases goalie with marker
Boqvist scored a second-period goal during Saturday's 5-1 victory over the host Senators.
Boqvist, who scored his second goal in four games Saturday after starting the season with one assist in his opening eight outings, is attempting to solidify his role as a bottom-six forward on the NHL's hottest club. The 2017 second-round draft pick helped his cause by converting a second-period tally that brought an early exit to goalie Anton Forsberg and sparked the Devils to their 12th straight win. However, Boqvist didn't make much of a case after generating just one shot for the 10th time in 12 appearances. In his other two starts, he had two shots.

Boqvist signed his qualifying offer Friday, which is a one-year, two-way deal.
Boqvist drew into 56 games with the Devils last season, picking up 10 goals and 23 points over that span. Despite his two-way deal, the 23-year-old forward will almost certainly spend most of the 2022-23 campaign with the big club, but he'll likely be a healthy scratch from time to time.

The Swede now has 10 points, 31 shots on goal and a minus-5 rating in 22 appearances.
