What happened: Viggo Björck and Brayden Yager were matched up in the first sewer ball session of the season as camp turns toward preseason games. The pairing comes days after Yager set up Björck's first-period goal in Quebec during prospect play.

Why it matters: Camp competitions like this are an early read on how top prospects stack up before exhibition games begin. Björck arrived as the No. 8 pick in the 2026 draft, and Yager said earlier this month that he feels ready for NHL action.

What to watch: Watch whether the two prospects keep sharing the spotlight once preseason lineups start to take shape. Any on-ice usage together or against each other would carry more weight than an off-ice camp drill.
