Tyler Johnson Signs One-Year Deal with Bruins

The Boston Bruins have officially signed veteran forward Tyler Johnson to a one-year contract worth $775,000 after he spent two months on a professional tryout. Johnson, 34, impressed during the preseason, tying for the team lead in points, and brings significant experience, having won two Stanley Cups with the Tampa Bay Lightning. He played last season with the Chicago Blackhawks, where he scored 17 goals and 31 points in 67 games. The Bruins had waited to finalize his contract to manage salary cap issues and roster configurations. Johnson's versatility as a center and wing player, along with his power-play experience, is expected to bolster the Bruins' lineup, particularly in areas where they have struggled. His NHL career totals now stand at 193 goals and 431 points over 738 games.
