This former Boston Bruins defenseman has signed with the Calgary Flames.
The Calgary Flames have signed former Boston Bruins defenseman Jarred Tinordi to a one-year, two-way contract. He will have an $800,000 cap hit at the NHL level.
Tinordi was one of the many former Bruins players still without a home in September, but that has now changed after landing this deal with the Flames. Tinordi will now serve as a veteran depth defender for the Flames for the upcoming season.
Tinordi, 32, spent this past season as a member of the Chicago Blackhawks. In 52 games on the year, the 6-foot-6 defender posted zero goals, nine assists, 94 blocks, and 171 hits.
After being claimed off waivers by the Bruins, Tinordi spent the final portion of the 2020-21 season with the Original Six club. In 14 regular-season games as a Bruin, he had one assist and 44 hits. He also appeared in four playoff games for the Bruins, posting zero points and five penalty minutes.
