Bruins' Anders Bjork scores last-second game-winner in Prospects Challenge

Share

Anders Bjork wasted no time making noise in the 2019 Prospects Challenge.

The 23-year-old Bruins forward scored the game-winning goal with 1.9 seconds left in regulation vs. the Penguins on Friday. Injuries have plagued Bjork over the last couple of years, but he's optimistic after getting his first taste of game action in 2019.

Bjork will be competing for one of the B's forward spots this year, so his performance on Friday definitely was an encouraging sign. The Notre Dame product already has 50 NHL games under his belt but still has to prove he can stick at the pro level.

Bjork also notched an assist on Jakub Lauko's goal in the Bruins' 4-3 win.
