Alex Chaisson gets PTO from the Bruins

Boston Bruins: The Bruins have signed 32-year-old forward to a Professional Tryout Agreement (PTO).

Joe Haggerty: “The 6-foot-4 forward had 6 goals and 9 points in 20 games for the Detroit Red Wings last year. Bruins mgmt has long been interested in him dating to when they tried to pry him loose from Dallas in the Seguin trade”

Josh Morrissey is healthy and ready to go

Aaron Vickers of NHL.com: Winnipeg Jets defenseman Josh Morrissey suffered a lower-body injury in Game 3 of their first-round matchup with the Golden Knights. He said he’s “100 healthy” healthy and will be ready for training camp.

“It was kind of a 4-6 week timeline,” Morrissey told NHL.com before participating in the Rogers Legends of Hockey Charity Skins Game on Saturday. “Obviously, it’s kind of the worst time of year to get hurt. (You) play all year and compete to have that opportunity in the playoffs. But at the same time, in a way it’s better that you have months to recover and you’re not rushing back.

“Been taking my time with it, really trying to do it right, using all the different modalities and things you can do. I’m 100 percent ready to go. No lingering issues at all.”
