Bjorklund is a goaltender with a great toolkit who is just scratching the surface of what he is capable of. He does a great job at tracking the play, especially finding pucks through traffic. He’s got a fluidity and technicality in his game that allows him to move quickly and stick to his angles with real good edge work. His body positioning can be a concern on some shots, but he’s highly aggressive in challenging shooters at the top of his crease and made little adjustments to get set for the shot in order to either maintain square or set his body so he could control a rebound if he couldn’t make the shot stick. His athleticism and dynamic movement bails him out while making some flexible saves in scrambles or playing pucks off a screen. He can make flashy desperation saves while still looking calm and confident. On the downside, his form is still a little leaky, especially when trying to move post to post. Rebound control is very high-end, swallowing up lots of pucks and successfully steering other shots into corners. Moves quickly around his net, including going post to post, shooting out to the top of his crease, and dropping into the butterfly and then springing back up. His puck handling and willingness to work with his defense alleviates a lot of pressure. His glove hand is an asset, but he also tracks pucks well to other areas of his body as well.
