With Emil Bemstrom official out for tonight's game, we know that Columbus will be getting the 6th round pick from the Penguins in the 2026 draft.
Honestly, even if he did play, there was probably no chance he was going to score a hat trick tonight.
Bemstrom did contribute to the win against the Predators with a great shot to make the game 4-2. During that sequence it did appear that he was hurt during the play.
Alex Nylander on the other hand has played very well for Columbus over his 23 games he has 11 goals and 4 assists. He scored more goals in one game for Columbus then he did with the Penguins over one and a half seasons.
