The 27-year-old was initially invited to Boston Bruins training camp on a professional try-out deal. With questions surrounding the health of Kevan Miller and John Moore to start the season, the Boston Bruins elected to sign Alex Petrovic as a low-risk option to fill in if needed.
Alex Petrovic split time last season between the Florida Panthers and Edmonton Oilers, appearing in 35 NHL games while recording two assists.
With the Boston Bruins having so many puck-moving defensemen on the roster, Alex Petrovic plays more of a physical, shutdown role.
