Brandsegg-Nygard scored the game-winning goal and added a power-play assist in Monday's 5-3 victory over Florida.
The 21-year-old winger snapped a four-game point drought with a big shift in the third period, helping to set up Justin Faulk for a goal that broke a 2-2 tie before Brandsegg-Nygard potted what proved to be the GWG just 45 seconds later. Brandsegg-Nygard is off to a strong start to his first full NHL campaign, delivering three goals and 10 points in 15 games while skating in a top-six role, and he recorded a couple career firsts Monday with his game-winner and his power-play point.

- Fantasy hockey players to add: Goalie tandems, third skaters from top lines
Sean dives into the most productive fantasy hockey lines to find available forward pickups.

Brandsegg-Nygard registered two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.
It's already the third multi-point effort of the season for Brandsegg-Nygard. The 21-year-old winger has yet to get on the scoresheet in consecutive contests, but he's chipping in enough offense to get attention in fantasy. For the year, he's at two goals, six helpers, 24 shots on net, 39 hits and a plus-10 rating over 10 appearances in a top-six role.

Brandsegg-Nygard scored a goal on four shots and added an assist, six hits and a plus-4 rating in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Devils.
The Red Wings' second line carried their offense on the night, as Brandsegg-Nygard, Alex DeBrincat and Emmitt Finnie potted all four goals and combined for seven points. After getting his feet wet in the NHL last season, the 21-year-old Brandsegg-Nygard has had a strong start to what should be his first full campaign, collecting two goals and five points in six games with 22 hits, 19 shots on net and a plus-6 rating.

Brandsegg-Nygard scored a goal, recorded an assist, fired four shots on net, served two PIM and dished out four hits in Friday's 6-3 loss to Seattle.
Brandsegg-Nygard tallied his first goal of his NHL career late in the third period. He also made Friday's effort his first with multiple points in the same game, as he added a secondary helper on William Wallinder's tally early in the second period. Overall, the 21-year-old Brandsegg-Nygard is up to three points, 14 shots on net and 15 hits across four appearances in 2026-27. He's off to a blazing start in the new campaign compared to his rookie season, where he posted just one point and 20 shots on net in 14 regular-season games. The young forward plays tough, as he's well on the way to posting 100-plus hits in addition to his impressive offensive contributions. As long as he holds a role on Detroit's second line, Brandsegg-Nygard is a fantasy sleeper who can provide two-way upside in leagues that value banger stats.

Brandsegg-Nygard recorded two goals, including one on the power play, on three shots while also generating eight hits during Tuesday's 7-4 preseason win over the Penguins.
Brandsegg-Nygard has displayed plenty of physicality to begin the preseason, racking up 12 hits over his two appearances. The 20-year-old was also stellar offensively, putting the Red Wings on the board with a first-period goal before scoring again with the man advantage in the third frame. Brandsegg-Nygard made just 14 regular-season appearances in the NHL last season but will likely be in the mix for a more consistent role with Detroit during the 2026-27 campaign.
