Pots goal in defeat Bjorkstrand deposited a power-play marker on five shots in Sunday's 6-2 loss to Detroit.
Impact Bjorkstrand got Seattle on the board late in the second period to end Cam Talbot's shutout bid. Bjorkstrand has found the back of the net in back-to-back games after being held off the scoresheet in the first four games of January. The right-shot winger's production has been streaky this season, but he's an efficient depth player in most formats. The 29-year-old is in a three-way tie for the team lead in goals (13) with Jaden Schwartz and Jared McCann. Bjorkstrand's added 15 helpers and a plus-1 rating through 43 appearances.

First goal in 12 games Bjorkstrand scored a goal Saturday in a 6-2 win over the Sabres.
Impact It was his first goal in 12 games (four assists). Bjorkstrand is prone to offensive spurts and slumps, and right now, he's certainly in a slump. Overall, the winger has 27 points, including 12 goals, in 42 games. Bjorkstrand's fantasy value is tough to time. Wait for a few scoring games in a row before you pluck him off the wire.
