Gets early hook Monday Blomqvist gave up three goals on eight shots before being replaced by Alex Nedeljkovic midway through the first period of Monday's 7-1 loss to the Stars.

Slated to start Friday Blomqvist is set to start on the road against Washington on Friday, per Tom Gulitti of NHL.com.

Gives up four goals Tuesday Blomqvist stopped 34 of 38 shots in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Wild. The fifth goal was an empty-netter with 19 seconds left in the third period.

Impact The Penguins raced to a 2-0 lead in the first period, but Minnesota responded with four unanswered goals to build an advantage they'd never relinquish. Blomqvist hasn't had a good start to the season and has been defeated in four of his last five appearances, going 1-4-0 with a 3.56 GAA in that span, although with a .909 save percentage. Expect Alex Nedeljkovic to remain as the Penguins' starting goalie for the foreseeable future.

Draws start Tuesday Blomqvist will be in the blue paint for Tuesday's home matchup versus Minnesota, Matt Vensel of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Impact Blomqvist will make his fifth start and sixth appearance of the campaign-- the 22-year-old is 2-3-0 with a .911 save percentage and 3.34 GAA. The Finnish netminder registered wins in two of his first three appearances, but he's given up four goals in back-to-back losses. The Wild have buried 29 goals through eight games.

Unable to hold back barrage Blomqvist stopped 46 of 50 shots in Friday's 4-0 loss to the Oilers.

Impact Blomqvist didn't stand much of a chance with the Penguins getting out-shot 50-27 in the game, including a lopsided second period that saw the Oilers break through. The Penguins' leaky defense has made it tough for any of the team's goalies to shine, though Blomqvist has often looked better than Tristan Jarry or Alex Nedeljkovic. Through five games, Blomqvist is 2-3-0 with 16 goals allowed on 180 shots. Nedeljkovic is likely to start Saturday in Vancouver, and Jarry could re-enter the mix next week, but none of Pittsburgh's goalies should be rostered on a full-time basis in most fantasy formats until the team in front of them improves significantly.

Gives up four goals Friday Blomqvist stopped 35 of 39 shots in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Hurricanes.

Impact Blomqvist gave up four unanswered goals in this one and has been inconsistent, flipping solid and subpar displays every time he steps in the crease.

However, he's posted a save percentage below .910 in three of his four outings, which could be a cause for concern.
