Boston Bruins
2026 Fantasy Outlook
Borgen matched his career high of five goals in 75 appearances during the 2025-26 regular season. He added 10 assists, 69 shots on net, 111 hits and 99 blocked shots for some decent category coverage. He has reached the 20-point plateau on two occasions at the NHL level, but his offensive production isn’t what potential fantasy managers will be seeking. Borgen logged the third-most shorthanded minutes for the Rangers last campaign. He got a chance to see action in the top four following his trade to Boston, but he could still settle into a third-pairing role in 2026-27. There is upside there for 100-plus hits and 100-plus blocks; however, he probably won’t make much of an impact in other areas. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a five-year, $20.5 million contract with the Rangers in January of 2025.

Borgen scored an empty-net goal, doled out five hits, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Sharks.
ANALYSIS
Borgen has been a stabilizing defensive presence in the Bruins' top four to start the campaign. He's chipped in a goal, two assists, three shots on net, 21 hits, 10 blocked shots, eight PIM and a plus-10 rating over seven appearances. With Charlie McAvoy making his season debut Tuesday, Borgen is likely set to see fewer minutes moving forward, but his strong start to the year should keep him in the lineup. He'll have some appeal in banger leagues, but he's never had more than 25 points over a full season, so there's not much offense to be found here.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
2023
After a tough start to the season with the Kraken, a mid-season trade to the Rangers helped turn Borgen’s year around. He scored four goals and added nine assists in 51 games with the Rangers after scoring just two points in 33 games with the Kraken. Borgen saw his role and ice time increase with the Rangers, playing in the top four and averaging over 18 minutes per night after averaging just over 15 minutes of ice time with the Kraken. The 28-year-old defenseman has a physical aspect to his game and some more offense to give, topping out at 203 hits and 25 points at different points in his career. Given his top-four role with the Rangers, Borgen could be a deep sleeper pick in the later rounds of fantasy drafts.
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.
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
Wanted by Sens
DNew York Rangers
July 1, 2026
Borgen's availability via trade is being tracked by Ottawa, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Borgen had a full no-trade clause in 2025-26 that became a 15-team no-trade list in 2026-27, making a potential transaction much easier for the Rangers to pull off. The 29-year-old defenseman saw action in 75 regular-season games last campaign, in which he tallied five goals and 10 helpers while averaging 18:03 of ice time. Without a role on the power play, the 25-30 range is likely the ceiling for Borgen's offense, even if he gets a change of scenery.
