In the middle of a rough patch this season, the Boston Bruins claimed Jarred Tinordi on waivers. When looking at how beat up the team’s defense was, it surely made sense. It also is important to remember that the left side of the defense was performing very poorly, which led the Bruins to lose quite often. Thus, the team hoped that Tinordi would help provide some stability with his defensive defenseman style of play.
