Rangers sign Oliver Bjorkstrand as a potential bounce-back forward

The New York Rangers have signed forward Oliver Bjorkstrand to a one-year, $4.5 million contract. Bjorkstrand, who previously played for the Tampa Bay Lightning, had a subpar season in 2025-26, scoring 12 goals and 32 points in 80 games. Despite this downturn, his track record suggests he may return to form with the Rangers. Before last season, he had scored at least 20 goals in six of his previous seven seasons, indicating potential for a resurgence this upcoming campaign. The Rangers are hopeful Bjorkstrand will enhance their roster as they aim for a competitive season.
