Joel Blomqvist Records Shutout In 1-0 Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Win, Stays Hot Since Return To Lineup
Joel Blomqvist played for only the second time in 2025-26 and made 27 saves in a 1-0 shutout win for the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins. The 2020 second round pick improves to 2-0-0 on the season after returning to the lineup from injury and boasts a 0.50 goals against average and a .980 save percentage in the wins. Blomqvist managed a .914 save percentage in 18 appearances with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton last season and struggled in a stint with the Pittsburgh Penguins, but hopes to make a strong case for another look at the NHL level in 2025-26. Only two seasons ago, Blomqvist earned a spot on the AHL All-Rookie team with a .921 save percentage and 2.16 goals against average in 45 games with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton after two seasons in the top league in Finland.
