What a Tyler Johnson PTO Means for Bruins Training Camp

The Boston Bruins signed veteran forward Tyler Johnson to a professional tryout over the weekend. The two-time Stanley Cup champion will come to training camp without a contract for the upcoming season and will try to earn a spot with the black and gold.

Johnson most recently played for the Chicago Blackhawks, scoring 17 goals in 67 games last season.

While he's past his prime days with the Tampa Bay Lightning, he's still got some gas in the tank, and Locked on Boston Bruins host Ian McLaren breaks down what Johnson's presence at camp means and how it could impact younger guys like Matthew Poitras, Justin Brazeay, Georgii Merkulov, and Fabian Lysell.

Plus, Brad Marchand hosted a captain's practice this morning and Jeremy Swayman was there, so that's a good sign.
