The Boston Bruins announced the signing of veteran forward Tyler Johnson to a one-year, $775,000 million contract on Monday. Johnson had been on a Professional Tryout (PTO) during training camp and was awaiting the opportunity to sign a deal with Boston which was made possible salary cap-wise when the Bruins placed forward Riley Tufte on waivers recently. Tufte has since cleared waivers and was assigned to Providence of the American Hockey League. Johnson will now be an option for Boston as a second or third line right wing.

The 5-foot-8, 185-pound forward began his NHL career as an undrafted free agent with the Tampa Bay Lightning and played nine seasons for the Lightning with 161 goals and 200 assists in 589 regular season games.
