Björck Stays Active but Goes Scoreless in Winnipeg Loss
Forward got into the flow across multiple shifts, offering one hit and three giveaways in a 5-1 home defeat
Viggo Björck had a quiet, workmanlike night as a forward in Winnipeg’s 5-1 loss. He finished with 0 goals and 0 assists and no shots on goal, skating 17:33 across 19 shifts. Defensively his box score was limited to 1 hit and 0 blocked shots, while he was charged with 3 giveaways and no takeaways in the game.
Compared with his season usage, this outing was slightly above his average time on ice per game — his season time on ice per game is 14.8 — and he remains scoreless through 5 games with 0 points on the year. On the season he has 5 shots and a minus-two plus/minus; his on-ice expected goals sit at 0.54 for the campaign. In short: a quiet night in the sheet music of this loss — involved enough to be on the ice, but not the source of Winnipeg’s answers.
