Anders Bjork

Another player who has been surprisingly successful for the Bruins is Anders Bjork.

Now to be fair he has had some fair struggles as well. Mainly Bjork has struggled to stay out of the penalty box. In Game Three he was in the box for six minutes.

But in all reality, Bjork has stepped up a lot. With Pastrnak out, he has been on the first line and has been deserving of the honor.

Bjork has been creating some quality chances and has also been great at distributing the puck. It seems that Bjork has cemented his spot in Boston.

The question is where does he end up next season. Bjork seems to be a great contender to play on the second line if Jake DeBrusk ends up leaving. If not Bjork will likely end up staying on the third line.

So as long as Bjork stays out of the penalty box, the Bruins should have a great winger for their postseason run.
