Bjorkung told the media that the Panthers have gotten the players a psychologist and trauma team to help deal with the tragedy.
Bjorkung said:
"I have tried to suppress a lot - you are so shocked at the moment, everything goes so damn fast.
"One moment you have your friend there, the next second he's gone."
"It is the most traumatizing thing I have seen in my entire life - being on the ice when a friend I hold close dies like that, it's terrible."
