There's a report on other Bruins sites that veteran forward Chris Clark has accepted an invitation to attend Bruins camp and try to earn a spot on the roster.
If Clark does earn a spot on the roster, it may be as an extra forward or maybe a place on the fourth line as an energy player. He does bring experience and veteran leadership, as the NESN article also mentioned he was captain of the Washington Capitals at one time when he was there. Clark also scored 30 goals back in 2006-07 on a high-powered Capitals team but don't expect that from him. He's also one of those rugged players that will hit and stand up for teammates, which is the Bruins style of play. The only down part is Clark's history of injuries as the article points out too. If he can stay healthy he will contribute to the team.
Clark, 35, collected 15 points in 53 games last season with the Columbus Blue Jackets. The winger was drafted by the Calgary Flames in 1994 where he made his NHL debut during the 1999-2000 season after spending four years at Clarkson University and another in the minors. He eventually moved on to play for Washington where he became the team's captain. Clark has also battled injuries over the years (including last season), something that has limited his playing time as of late.
