"After an impressive preseason, Bjorklund, a Capitals 2020 sixth-round pick, has struggled to adapt to the AHL. In his last six starts, he has allowed four goals per game, winning just one of those appearances. Overall, this season, the 23-year-old backstop is 4-5-1 with a 3.37 goals-against average, a .884 save percentage, and one shutout."
"Gibson, a 2018 fourth-round pick, has been dominant since taking some of the workload from Bjorklund and Stevenson. In his four games for the Bears, he is 3-1 with a 1.51 goals-against average, a .944 save percentage, and one shutout. Bjorklund will likely be the new number-one in South Carolina, where he'll re-form a goaltending tandem with Seth Eisele."
