The Boston Bruins signed veteran winger Alex Chiasson to a professional tryout agreement, the team announced Monday.

Chiasson skated in 20 games with the Detroit Red Wings last season, producing six goals and three assists. He added 20 points in 29 contests with the AHL's Grand Rapids Griffins.

The 32-year-old will look to compete for a bottom-six role on a Bruins team that lost several forwards this offseason, including Patrice Bergeron, David Krejci, Tyler Bertuzzi, Taylor Hall, Nick Foligno, Garnet Hathaway, and Tomas Nosek.

Chiasson has played for seven teams across his 11-year NHL career, netting 120 goals and 113 assists in 651 games. He's a noted power-play netfront specialist, potting five goals with the man advantage last year and 43 in his career.
