Anders Bjork’s impressive performance highlighted the Boston’ Bruins training camp in 2019.
The 23-year-old forward, coming off his second straight season-ending surgery, displayed top-notch speed and playmaking abilities that made him a coveted prospect upon his arrival to Boston.
Bruce Cassidy slotted the former Notre Dame standout alongside Charlie Coyle and Danton Heinen on Boston’s third line for most of the training camp. The trio developed great chemistry with one another throughout the preseason.
Yet, despite Bjork’s ferocious bid for a roster spot, the Bruins’ brass opted to send the third-year winger down in Providence to start the season.
