The Bruins have assigned Anders Bjork to Providence (AHL).

Bjork made his season debut vs. the Maple Leafs on Tuesday but gets sent back to the AHL because the Bruins are off until Saturday. How the injured Bruins recover over the next few days will determine whether or not Bjork will return for the weekend.

The Bruins have recalled Anders Bjork from Providence (AHL) on an emergency basis.

Bjork has enjoyed a great start to 2019-20, leading Providence and tied for fourth line league scoring with eight points (3G / 5A) in seven games. Bjork will likely draw into the Bruins lineup vs. Toronto and comes up with five goals and 10 assists (15 points) in 50 career NHL games.

Bjork will “miss some time” with an upper-body injury.

Bjork left Tuesday’s game after being cross-checked in the arm/shoulder by Francois Beauchemin. Post-game head coach Bruce Cassidy said that he’ll miss some time but the Bruins were unsure of a timetable for his return. Peter Cehlarik was recalled to take Bjork’s spot on the roster.

The Bruins have sent Anders Bjork to Providence (AHL).

Bjork had a nice start to the season, but has just 12 points (4G / 8A) through 28 games so he will head to Providence to work on his craft. He has never appeared in an AHL game after going straight from the University of Notre Dame to the NHL this fall.

Bjork will be a healthy scratch on Saturday.

After a hot start to the season, picking up seven points (3G / 4A) in his first nine games, Bjork has recorded just one goal and four assists (five points) in his last 19 games. He will sit tonight with David Krejci (lower-body) back in the lineup.

Bjork (undisclosed) skated on Wednesday;is a “possibility” to play Saturday in Philadelphia.

Bjork will miss his seventh consecutive game with an undisclosed ailment, but he was on the ice this morning and the Bruins believe he could be back on Saturday. Bjork has nine points (3G / 6A) in 16 games this season and could play a key role upon his return because David Krejci, Jake DeBrusk and Peter Cehlarik are also sidelined with injuries right now.

Bjork (undisclosed) will not travel with the team to Anaheim on Monday.

Bjork was “nicked up” Saturday vs. Toronto and is doubtful for Tuesday’s game in Anaheim. The Bruins didn’t rule Bjork out, but it seems unlikely that he will join the team in Anaheim and could miss the entire road-trip.
