Here’s a guy that has literally put his blood, sweat and tears into making the Boston Bruins roster and really looked the part in the pre-season. Of the guys sent back down to Providence, I think Anders Bjork possibly was the most surprising.
A tally of two assists in four games and seven shots might not scream game-changer, but the constant peskiness on the fore-check, forcing turnovers from the opposition suggested he was at least a chance of making the Boston Bruins opening night roster, potentially in a third or fourth-line role.
However, the decision has been made to sent him back for more time with the Providence Bruins as he hasn’t, to paraphrase Bruce Cassidy, managed to score consistently enough at the professional level and that was what he was drafted as; a scoring winger.
