New York Rangers
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Once again, Borgen played in all 82 regular-season games for the second straight year while seeing an uptick in minutes, averaging 17:35 of ice time. While he certainly won't be confused for a Norris Trophy contender, the physical blueliner is coming off a 2023-24 in which he set new personal bests with 22 assists and 25 points. While he can probably be safely relied upon to get between 25-30 points next year, the Minnesota native's real value will come in formats that utilize blocked shots and hits, of which he managed 111 and 195, respectively, last season.

Scores shortie Monday
DNew York Rangers
March 4, 2025
Borgen scored a shorthanded goal, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Monday's 4-0 win over the Islanders.
ANALYSIS
Borgen ended an 11-game goal drought with his tally late in the first period. The 28-year-old isn't known for his offense, but four points over his last 13 games makes for decent production from a shutdown defenseman. Overall, he's at nine points, 59 shots on net, 103 hits, 91 blocked shots, 17 PIM and a minus-10 rating over 63 appearances between the Rangers and the Kraken this season.

Dylan Cozens may be down from last year's numbers, but his recent uptick in performance makes him this week's top pickup.
2023 Fantasy Outlook
While it was far from an explosive performance, Borgen racked up three goals, 20 points, 203 hits and 89 blocked shots in 82 contests last season. It was his first full NHL campaign, and by the end of it, he was on the Kraken's second pairing as part of a shutdown duo with Jamie Oleksiak. That's the role that awaits Borgen heading into 2023-24, where another 20-point campaign is a perfectably reasonable estimate. He'll always add a bit of grit, but there's likely not enough scoring in his playing style to justify selecting him in most fantasy formats.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Nearing extension
DNew York Rangers
January 25, 2025
Borgen is expected to sign a five-year extension with the Rangers at a $4.1 million cap hit, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
ANALYSIS
Borgen was traded to the Rangers from the Kraken in December in exchange for Kaapo Kakko. Borgen already has three points over 17 contests with the Rangers, surpassing the two points he logged over 33 appearances with Seattle. He's unlikely to be a factor in fantasy due to his limited scoring output, but he's been steady defensively with his new team.
