Bjork cleared COVID-19 protocols and returned to practice Sunday, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.
Scouting Report
Was a major scoring winger in college hockey but has settled into more of a checking role in the NHL, where his speed and work ethic have come to the fore. Can play on either wing. Owns a good shot and is a slick passer who has more offensive skills than he has shown thus far at the highest level.
Long Range Potential: Effective defensive forward with a little upside.
