Bruins sign Bjork to 3-year, $4.8 million extension

The Boston Bruins and forward Anders Bjork agreed to a three-year extension worth $4.8 million on Wednesday, the team announced.

Bjork's entry-level deal was set to expire at season's end, and he would have become a restricted free agent.

The Bruins selected the soon-to-be 24-year-old in the fifth round in 2014. He spent three seasons at Notre Dame afterward, then bounced between the NHL and AHL before carving out a permanent role with Boston in 2019-20.

Bjork appeared in 58 games this season, registering nine goals and 10 assists while averaging just under 13 minutes per contest.

With him extended, there are two remaining RFAs the Bruins will need to secure before the start of the 2020-21 campaign: forward Jake DeBrusk and defenseman Matt Grzelcyk.
