Major development in the Boston Bruins signing Tyler Johnson today and it was confirmed
A big development has surfaced regarding the Boston Bruins signing Tyler Johnson to a contract before their game against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Following a report this morning from a Bruins insider, it is believed that we may get to see Tyler Johnson sign a contract before the Bruins game tonight against the Toronto Maple Leafs, and play for the Boston Bruins against the Leafs tonight.
Yesterday the Boston Bruins placed Riley Tufte on waivers and many believe that this move was made to make room, and give the Boston Bruins cap space to finally sign Tyler Johnson to a contract.
This was confirmed by a Bruins insider this morning who stated that the Boston Bruins did not make any recalls from the Providence Bruins after waiving Riley Tufte, and that Tyler Johnson is expected to sign a deal with the Bruins before 2pm.
The Bruins have been struggling to stay out of the penalty box, and to score goals, adding someone like Tyler Johnson into the mix might help out.
The Boston Bruins also need help in the 5v5 department as they currently sit in the bottom of the league in all the stats.
Currently:
28th in shot attempt share
26th in shot share
19th in goals share (outscored 14-13)
28th in expected goals share
25th in scoring chance share
30th in hi-danger goals share (outscored 10-4)
28th in hi-danger save percentage (.751)
