Bjorkstrand notched an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Jets.
Scouting Report
His most obvious skill is a terrific shot, one that he gets away quickly and with power. More than just a sniper, his on-the-puck game has grown to the point where he has become an excellent forechecker. His skating and play off the puck continue to improve, as well. His one limitation is a lack of optimum size and strength.
Long Range Potential: Skilled scoring winger.
