Bruins Sign Goaltender Amid Jeremy Swayman Negotiations
The Bruins added a goaltender to their training camp roster Thursday.
It was not Jeremy Swayman.
Boston general manager Don Sweeney announced Thursday that the team signed goaltender Kasimir Kaskisuo to a professional tryout agreement (PTO).
Kaskisuo, 30, played in a handful of games with the Laval Rocket of the AHL in 2023-24 season, posting a record of 7-4-0 with a 2.90 goals against average and a .909 save percentage. He's appeared in 108 career AHL games, recording an overall record of 53-36-10 with a 2.68 goals against average and a .909 save percentage.
The Finnish netminder has made appearances for the Toronto Maple Leafs and Nashville Predators at the NHL level.
Sweeney confirmed Wednesday that Swayman will not report to training camp until a new contract is finalized. The Bruins are still "optimistic" that a deal will get done, but until then, they will have to rely on the likes of Joonas Korpisalo, Brandon Bussi and now Kaskisuo to round out the depth chart.
