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.

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.
