The Boston Bruins announced on Thursday that the team has placed forward Tyler Johnson on unconditional waivers to terminate his contract. Johnson was signed to a one-year, $775,000 deal with the team in early November. The 34-year-old winger joined the Bruins on a professional tryout agreement in August, scoring a goal and two points in four preseason games.

Johnson had two assists in nine games with the Bruins this season. The Bruins claimed former New York Islanders forward Oliver Wahlstrom on Saturday. The Portland, Maine native will make his Bruins’ debut on Thursday, which helped facilitate the move with Johnson.
