Bruins Sign Forward To PTO.

The Boston Bruins are taking a very small gamble.�

The team announced that they've signed Jan�Kovar to an AHL PTO with the Providence Bruins.�

Kovar was one of the highly touted European free agents this summer who wound up signing with the New York�Islanders.�

It worked out to be a complete disaster with the Islanders and the team terminated his contract just a couple of months after signing the one year $2million deal.�

Kovar had 35 points in 54 games last season with Metallurg Magnitogorsk of the KHL and registered 23 goals the year before.�

If Kovar can earn himself a contract, he could end up possibly being the 13th forward the Bruins are looking for.�

However first he has to prove that he can at least skate with the AHL.�
