| Michael Brandsegg-Nygard | Note | Sneaky reach out and pull back gets him around the US defender. | Brian Fogarty | Norway vs USA (WJC 2024) | 12/26/2023 | 4/2/2024 | 10301 |
| Michael Brandsegg-Nygard | Note | He's so fast for a guy that is 6'1, 200 pounds. Power skater. | Brian Fogarty | Norway vs USA (WJC 2024) | 12/26/2023 | 4/2/2024 | 10301 |
| Michael Brandsegg-Nygard | Note | Out on the powerplay at the start of the second period. He's right point on the top unit. | Brian Fogarty | Norway vs USA (WJC 2024) | 12/26/2023 | 4/2/2024 | 10301 |
| Michael Brandsegg-Nygard | Note | Smoking wrist shot comes off of his stick low and hard, blocked. Fortescue is hurting after that one. | Brian Fogarty | Norway vs USA (WJC 2024) | 12/26/2023 | 4/2/2024 | 10301 |
| Michael Brandsegg-Nygard | Note | Again on the powerplay right point, takes the puck, walks in to the top of the circle and rips a wrist shot just over the far corner and rattles the glass.

| Michael Brandsegg-Nygard | Note | Nice, physical pin along the defensive zone boards. | Brian Fogarty | Norway vs USA (WJC 2024) | 12/26/2023 | 4/2/2024 | 10301 |
| Michael Brandsegg-Nygard | Note | Vision is pretty good, he's finding the right plays, but his passing is a little inaccurate. He'll get there, though. | Brian Fogarty | Norway vs USA (WJC 2024) | 12/26/2023 | 4/2/2024 | 10301 |
| Michael Brandsegg-Nygard | Note | Takes a hard line up ice and is rewarded with the pass for a clean break. Fires a hard shot far side but Augustine gets just enough of it with the edge of his blocker. | Brian Fogarty | Norway vs USA (WJC 2024) | 12/26/2023 | 4/2/2024 | 10301 |
| Michael Brandsegg-Nygard | Note | Active on defense, but doesn’t look at comfortable back there. Not bad, for sure, but looks just a little uncertain. | Brian Fogarty | Norway vs USA (WJC 2024) | 12/26/2023 | 4/2/2024 | 10301 |
| Michael Brandsegg-Nygard | Note | Another nice hit along the boards. | Brian Fogarty | Norway vs USA (WJC 2024) | 12/26/2023 | 4/2/2024 | 10301 |
| Michael Brandsegg-Nygard | Note | Rushing up ice, the pass comes to him but it's in his skates. He handles it well, gets the puck to his stick and continues up ice without breaking momentum. | Brian Fogarty | Norway vs USA (WJC 2024) | 12/26/2023 | 4/2/2024 | 10301 |
| Michael Brandsegg-Nygard | Note | Rattles the crossbar, up and out. His shot is so hard as his leans heavily into his stick. | Brian Fogarty | Norway vs USA (WJC 2024) | 12/26/2023 | 4/2/2024 | 10301 |
| Michael Brandsegg-Nygard | Note | Fishing in his own zone, relying on his stick instead of bodying up the opposition. That will be coached out of him, but his defensive play is still a work in progress. | Brian Fogarty | Norway vs USA (WJC 2024) | 12/26/2023 | 4/2/2024 | 10301 |
| Michael Brandsegg-Nygard | Note | Any doubts about his skating are answered there as his is able to stick with the near-elite skating of Lane Hutson. | Brian Fogarty | Norway vs USA (WJC 2024) | 12/26/2023 | 4/2/2024 | 10301 |
| Michael Brandsegg-Nygard | Summary | Big, strong power forward with a massive wrist shot and excellent skating. As he develops, and if he can get some bad habits out of his defensive game and build a low-post power element to add to his blistering wrist shot, he could become a beast of an NHL forward. | Brian Fogarty | Norway vs USA (WJC 2024) | 12/26/2023 | 4/2/2024 | 10301 |
