Mandatory Credit: Kim Klement Neitzel-Imagn Images Tampa Bay Lightning forward Oliver Bjorkstrand will not play in the team’s Eastern Conference first-round series against the Florida Panthers, head coach Jon Cooper announced on Saturday.
Bjorkstrand is considered week-to-week with a lower-body injury that he sustained the injury during Tampa Bay’s 4-3 overtime loss to the Detroit Red Wings on April 11.
Bjorkstrand, 30, has nine points (five goals, four assists) in 18 games with the Lightning since the club acquired him from the Seattle Kraken prior to the NHL trade deadline. He recorded 37 points (16 goals, 21 assists) in 61 games with the Kraken in 2024-25.
A third-round pick by the Columbus Blue Jackets in the 2013 NHL Draft, Bjorkstrand has totaled 384 points (172 goals, 212 assists) in 624 career games with the Blue Jackets, Kraken and Lightning.

Trpišovský po titulu: Odejdou asi dva hráči. Tykač dodržel vše, co řekl
Se Slavií máte čtvrtý titul. Dají se nějak porovnat?Je to těžké, každý titul je jiný. Jsem rád, že jsme hráli v Olomouci, protože je tu skvělý stadion. Když jsme měli titul získat venku, tak je dobře, že to bylo tady. Beru to jako úlevu pro sebe a pro lidi. Mám totiž radost, když mají radost ostatní. Stavím to momentálně i nad trofeje. Moc si toho vážím. Čísla pro mě teď nejsou důležitá.A co tedy?Čekání bylo delší, než jsme byli zvyklí. Měli jsme tři tituly za sebou, pak jsme byli třikrát druzí. Lidi si to moc zasloužili. Jezdí s námi vždy a všude. V minulé sezoně jsme měli dvacet šest vítězství a v posledním kole už jsme o titul nehráli. Sice můžete mít pocit, že tým odvedl spoustu práce, ale každého zajímá jen první místo. Titulu v této sezoně se hodně obětovalo. Kvalita ligy je obrovská. Když slavíme čtyři kola […]
Avalanche demolish Stars to even series, Gabriel Landeskog scores: Takeaways
DENVER — When is the Hollywood movie called “Landy’s Return’’ coming out?Gabriel Landeskog brought the house down Saturday night with his first goal since his return — after a three-year absence — from a career-threatening injury, and the Colorado Avalanche cruised to a 4-0 win over the Dallas Stars to even this spectacular first-round playoff series at two wins apiece.AdvertisementA series hyped as worthy of a conference final is giving us exactly that.Already up 2-0 and tilting the ice big time on the Stars — only Jake Oettinger kept the game close for 30-plus minutes — Brock Nelson carried the puck into the offensive zone and dropped it into the high slot for an oncoming Landeskog, who blistered a snap shot past the Dallas netminder at 13:10 of the middle period.What ensued was pure bedlam at Ball Arena, the crowd […]
Whether Shedeur Sanders’ NFL Draft slide was talent evaluation or ‘arrogance,’ there are some lessons
A little over a year ago, when multiple major college stars declined to participate in any workout portion of the league’s annual scouting combine, an AFC general manager pointed to the growing trend as the arrival of the “opt-out” generation.As I pulled together a story about it, I spent days listening to decision makers inside the league either grouse or contextualize it. To many, it was an example of a troubling new norm, where some NFL Draft prospects didn’t see the pre-draft process as necessary to make a successful transition into the league. To others, it was an example of players taking power into their own hands and refusing to take part in something that would likely only hurt them.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement“Every step has been eroded over time,” one high-ranking AFC executive complained. “Guys opt out of high school games, college bowls, […]
Diamondbacks’ Eugenio Suárez hits 4 homers in loss against Braves
PHOENIX — When Eugenio Suárez hit four home runs Saturday and his Arizona Diamondbacks still lost to the Atlanta Braves 8-7 in 10 innings, he became just the second player in MLB history to do such a thing.Plenty of Braves fans are old enough to remember the first: Bob Horner, who did it for the Braves on July 6, 1986, in an 11-8 loss to the Montreal Expos.Advertisement“We were wondering if it had happened at all,” Braves first baseman Matt Olson said. “Obviously, we want to come out on the winning side. He had a hell of a day at the plate, but putting one in the win column is more important.”Seventeen other players in major league history have hit four homers in a game, and 17 times their teams won.“I mean that’s unbelievable what the guy did,” Braves manager […]
NBA playoffs: Draymond Green mocks Rockets’ Jalen Green in confrontation after Warriors’ Game 3 win
You will not be surprised to hear the Houston Rockets have a bone or two to pick with Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green. It was true during Saturday's Game 3, and quite apparent immediately after the game.As the buzzer sounded on the Warriors' 104-93 win over the Rockets to take a 2-1 series lead, Rockets wing Jalen Green approached the elder Green at the logo, and was angry enough that teammate Fred VanVleet had to step between them.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementAs the younger Green was led away, his veteran counterpart made an unmistakable gesture of painting his nails, a dig at something the Rockets star is known to enjoy doing. That didn't help Jalen cool down.Both players downplayed the incident after the game, with Jalen Green attempting to minimize Draymond's contributions during the game:"It was just talking. He can't really do much […]
