Bjugstad recorded an assist and two PIM in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Stars.
Scouting Report
The No. 19 pick in the 2010 draft (and nephew of former NHL forward Scott Bjugstad) has seen his offense almost disappear as his career has progressed--in large part because of injuries. As a 6'6" forward, he has the size to dominate when he is on the ice, though he almost never does. He combines skill and size with goal-scoring instincts, but lacks consistency.
Long Range Potential: Big, skilled depth forward (when healthy).
