Viggo Björck records first NHL point with Winnipeg Jets
Winnipeg Jets rookie Viggo Björck recorded his first NHL point during a 6–2 victory over the Vancouver Canucks. After playing 16 games without a goal or an assist, the 18-year-old contributed to Mark Scheifele’s goal in the third period.
With this achievement, Björck becomes the third youngest Swedish player to record a point in the NHL, following Mika Zibanejad and Rasmus Dahlin. Björck, who transitioned to the NHL from Djurgården in the SHL, expressed relief following the milestone, noting that the initial month in the league had been challenging.
