The Boston Bruins have been struggling to score goals, and even win games, as they currently have a 3-4-1 record to start off the season. Boston Bruins head coach Jim Montgomery has been trying multiple different line combinations to try and get the offence going, but nothing has worked.
There is some speculation that the Boston Bruins may be trying to clear some cap space to sign Tyler Johnson who is still with the Boston Bruins. If Tufte clears or gets claimed, it's possible that we see the Boston Bruins sign Tyler Johnson in the coming days.
Tufte has only appeared in two games with the Boston Bruins, in those games he has 0 points, 4 penalties, and is a -2.
