Garin Bjorklund Facts
Drafted
2020 round 6 #179 overall by Washington Capitals
Agency
Premium
As a goaltender, one of the biggest keys to success is confidence, and Bjorklund has it in spades. He's not afraid to make a snazzy glove save or toss in a pad stack just to spice things up. He's got the agility and the toolkit. His hands are plenty active, and he's got great conditioning. He's got the longevity to endure even the messiest of performances in front of him. -EliteProspects 2020 NHL Draft Guide
