Impact Bjugstad has a goal and three helpers over seven contests in December. The 31-year-old remained the second-line center even with Jack McBain (lower body) returning to action Friday. It's a role that's seen Bjugstad exceed expectations in 2023-24, as the veteran is up to 19 points, 52 shots on net, 45 hits, 21 blocked shots, 28 PIM and a plus-5 rating through 29 outings. With some second-unit power-play time and a steady role, Bjugstad is a solid depth forward for fantasy.
