Bjorklund on the other hand played 56 games this year with Tri-City and racked up 5 goals and 5 assists.

The Americans finished the regular season with a 34-28-5-1 record, and due to the U.S division being as competitive as it was this year, Tri-City finished in the 1st Wild Card position.

They will battle the Everett Silvertips in the opening round of the playoffs with the series beginning Friday night in Everett.
