Viggo Björck records two assists as Winnipeg beats Tampa Bay 4-3 in NHL thriller

The other day, young Swedish talent Viggo Björck recorded his first point in the NHL. In tonight's game for Winnipeg, he added two more.

The rookie, who was drafted eighth by Winnipeg this summer, recorded two assists on the team's second and third goals.

Tampa Bay did not come to life until the final period, when it staged a dramatic comeback with three straight goals, two of them scored by Swede Pontus Holmberg.

The drama did not end there, however. With just 1.6 seconds left in the final period, Mark Scheifele decided the game by putting Winnipeg ahead 4–3.
