In his first full season with the Columbus Blue Jackets, Oliver Bjorkstrand was one of the few consistent players on the team. The 23-year-old was one of two Jackets who played all 82 games alongside Pierre-Luc Dubois.
Bjorkstrand came on the scene late in the 2016-2017 season and impressed. In only 26 games he put up 13 points. Expectations were high for the former 3rd round pick and he delivered a solid first year performance. Bjorkstrand’s 11 goals and 29 assist were good for the fifth highest point total on the team.
Most of those points came at even strength as well.
