Ostlund picked up two assists in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Blue Jackets.

The 22-year-old center had a hand in tallies by Mattias Samuelsson in the first period and Jack Quinn in the second, and Ostlund came away with a plus-1 rating despite the final score. With an eight-year contract extension in his back pocket and a spot in the top six, big things are expected from Ostlund in 2026-27 after he delivered 11 goals and 27 points in 60 regular-season games as a rookie last season.
