Yesterday the Bruins finally announced the signing of Tyler Johnson to a one-year $775,000 contract, who has been with the Bruins on a PTO since the beginning of training camp.
Now heading into their game against the Toronto Maple Leafs, Tyler Johnson will be making his debut with the Bruins and they just revealed where he will slot into the lineup.
It was announced that Tyler Johnson will slot into a line with Matthew Poitras, and Trent Frederic.
Morgan Geekie has been playing in this spot for the past couple of games, and it seems like he may be taken out of the lineup.
Some other big news regarding tonight's game between the Boston Bruins and Toronto Maple Leafs is the fact that the Maple Leafs will be without their captain Auston Matthews tonight as they announced he will be out day-to-day with an upper-body injury.
Puck drop is slated for 7 p.m. Eastern time at the Scotiabank Arena where the Boston Bruins will look to win their third game in a row for the first time this season.
