Bruins Sign Top Free Agent to PTO

The Boston Bruins have added to their training camp roster.

The Boston Bruins have added to their training camp roster, signing top free agent Tyler Johnson to a professional tryout (PTO) agreement.

Johnson spent this past season with the Chicago Blackhawks, posting 17 goals and 31 points in 67 games. 

With the Bruins arguably needing another skilled forward in their top nine, there is no harm in them taking a shot on Johnson with this PTO. If he impresses at training camp and earns a PTO, he would provide them with another solid forward with experience for the upcoming season. 

In 738 career NHL games split between the Tampa Bay Lightning and Blackhawks, Johnson has 193 goals and 431 points. We will now need to wait and see if he will get the opportunity to improve upon these career stats with the Bruins this upcoming season from here.
