Earlier this week, Bruce Cassidy noted that the Bruins’ opening night roster would be down to “plus one or two.” That left just one game for the handful of hopefuls to make an impression deserving of a spot or at the very least a future call-up.
One of the players on the bubble, Anders Bjork, stood out during Boston’s 2-0 victory over the New Jersey Devils Wednesday night at TD Garden.
Wednesday wasn’t Bjork’s only impressive showing this preseason. The 23-year-old’s continued growth and development throughout training camp gives Cassidy and the Bruins’ brass a reason to keep him in Boston to start the season.
