2025 Fantasy Outlook
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. Read Past Outlooks

Pots goal Thursday
DNew York Rangers
December 5, 2025
Borgen scored a goal on two shots, added two hits and logged two PIM in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Senators.
ANALYSIS
This was Borgen's first point in three games since he returned from an upper-body injury. The 28-year-old blueliner has settled back into a top-four role and should provide ample physicality with limited offense. For the season, he's at two goals, four points, 20 shots on net, 36 hits, 26 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating across 22 outings.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
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
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.
