The Bruins have signed defenseman Johnny Boychuk to a 2-year contract extension. This is good news for the Bruins defense as Boychuk played good after being called upon even after being scratched for many games beforehand. It will be good to see him back next season. Everyone won't forget that huge hit he had on Matt Ellis in the Sabres series. Now the Bruins need to re-sign Mark Stuart next.
Last year marked Boychuk's first full-time NHL season and he registered 5 goals, 10 assists for 15 points and 43 penalty minutes in 51 games for Boston. Boychuk added 2-4=6 totals and 6 penalty minutes during the 13 playoff games he appeared in last postseason. Prior to last season, the 26-year-old Boychuk had skated in five regular season NHL games, splitting those contests between the Colorado Avalanche and the Bruins.
In total, Boychuk has appeared in 56 regular season NHL games while compiling 5-10=15 totals.
