It appeared like the Boston Bruins had set their opening day lineup, that was until Don Sweeney made a last minute signing. The Bruins officially announced that they'd signed veteran defenseman Anton Stralman to a 1-year deal.

Stralman had attended Bruins camp on a professional tryout and made an impression on Jim Montgomery. It was unclear if the Bruins cap situation would allow them to sign Stralman, especially after Nick Foligno was not claimed off of waivers.

Pierre LeBrun announced the following via Twitter:

Anton Stralman has signed a one-year, $1 million deal with the Bruins. Was in Boston on a PTO.

Stralman has played 930 games in his NHL career and will be playing for his 7th team.
