Borgen brings physical defensive presence into road matchup against Kings
Will Borgen heads into tonight's road matchup against Los Angeles fully healthy and locked into a reliable second-pairing role on Boston's blue line, while also handling secondary penalty-killing duties. The veteran defenseman has quietly provided dependable form for the Bruins, contributing 16 hits, 10 blocked shots, and an impressive plus-6 rating across his past six outings. That dependable peripheral production has sparked noticeable fantasy attention, with his roster rate jumping from 4% earlier this week up to 17%. Boston (6-2-0) visits Crypto.com Arena as slight road underdogs in what projects to be a lower-scoring environment, likely facing Kings goaltender Anton Forsberg (unconfirmed).
Our daily projection slots Borgen for 1.8 fantasy points tonight, leaning heavily into his defensive metrics rather than offensive punch. With light shot volume expected and low goal expectations, our models see roughly ~0.5–1.0 point upside while expecting his usual physical floor of ~2 hits and over a block. Tonight marks Boston's third and final contest of the fantasy week, where our weekly projections anticipate 3.3 total fantasy points across the three-game road swing. Given his complete lack of power-play exposure, he offers limited offensive ceiling and is best viewed as a hits-and-blocks specialist. Today’s action: Stream.
