Oliver Bjorkstrand has been one of the most impressive players in the NHL this season. The Columbus Blue Jackets forward has been selected to the All-Star Game for the first time in his career, a testament to his resurgence in the 2019-2020 season.
Bjorkstrand was drafted by the Blue Jackets in the third round of the 2013 NHL Draft, and he has been a steady contributor since then. He has scored at least 10 goals in each of the last four seasons, and he has been a reliable presence on the team’s top two lines.
This season, however, Bjorkstrand has taken his game to another level. He currently leads the Blue Jackets in goals with 24, and he is second on the team in points with 44. His impressive play has helped the Blue Jackets remain in playoff contention despite a rash of injuries to key players.
Bjorkstrand’s selection to the All-Star Game is a well-deserved honor for a player who has worked hard to become one of the league’s best. He is an excellent skater with a great shot, and he is a reliable two-way player. He is also a leader in the locker room, and his teammates have praised him for his work ethic and positive attitude.
It is clear that Bjorkstrand has earned his selection to the All-Star Game. He has been one of the Blue Jackets’ most important players this season, and he is a big part of why they are still in contention for a playoff spot. He is an example of hard work paying off, and he will be an important part of the Blue Jackets’ future success.
