Tyler Johnson is on a tryout with the Bruins. He hopes his versatility and winning experience can change that status

The Boston Bruins need scoring depth, particularly on the wing, so it wasn’t too surprising when the team announced last week it had signed veteran forward Tyler Johnson to a PTO (professional tryout agreement) ahead of training camp.
