"Bjorklund was recalled by the Capitals on January 31 after Charlie Lindgren suffered an injury against the Detroit Red Wings. By moving him back to Hershey, the Caps freed up the roster spot they needed to activate Logan Thompson from injured reserve ahead of his probable return start against the Nashville Predators. The Capitals also announced that Pierre-Luc Dubois will join Thompson in coming off of IR."
"Bjorklund heads back to the AHL after not seeing any action for the Capitals in his second stint with the club this season. In 11 games for the Bears this year, Bjorklund is 4-5-2 with a 3.43 goals-against average, a .879 save percentage, and one shutout. Thompson was placed on injured reserve this past Monday, retroactive to January 28, so that defenseman Matt Roy could come off of IR and play against the New York Islanders."
