Bruins Place Tyler Johnson on Unconditional Waivers

Bruins Part Ways with Veteran Forward Tyler Johnson

Boston, MA – The Boston Bruins announced today‍ that they have placed veteran forward tyler ⁢Johnson on unconditional waivers. This move signals the likely end of Johnson’s brief tenure with the Bruins and paves the way for a mutual contract termination.

Johnson, 34, joined the Bruins on a professional⁤ tryout ⁤during training camp and signed a one-year, league-minimum deal in⁢ early November.⁣ However, he struggled to⁢ find ⁤a consistent role in Boston’s lineup, appearing in just nine⁣ games and recording two ⁣assists.

“It’s been a tough start to the season for Tyler,” said Bruins General Manager Don Sweeney. “We appreciate his contributions ⁢and wish him the best in his future endeavors.”

Johnson’s offensive production fell short of expectations. A two-time Stanley Cup champion with the tampa bay Lightning, Johnson had been a reliable middle-six forward for the Chicago Blackhawks in recent seasons, despite battling injuries.

During his time in Chicago,Johnson tallied 32 goals and 70 points in 149 games,averaging nearly half a point per game.

Early in his career, Johnson was a key contributor for the Lightning, playing ⁤all three forward positions and excelling as a defensively responsible centre. From 2013-14 to 2019-20, he amassed ⁢150 goals and 333 points in 520 games, averaging an⁢ impressive 24 goals and 53 points per 82 games.

Though, Johnson’s production‍ dipped in the COVID-shortened 2020-21 season, leading to his trade to Chicago.

If Johnson clears waivers, he will become an⁤ unrestricted free ⁢agent and could possibly sign with another team. Given ⁤his experience and Stanley Cup pedigree, there might potentially be NHL clubs interested in ⁢adding him to their roster.
