The Boston Bruins added some organizational depth on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Boston brought two fresh faces into the organization by signing forward Shawn Element\u00a0and defenseman\u00a0Christian Wolanin to professional tryout agreements with AHL-Providence, according to the league\u2019s transaction wire<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Element, 25, receives the promotion after scoring one goal and dishing out four assists in six games for ECHL-Maine \u2014 which he joined after reportedly being the final player cut<\/a> from training camp with AHL-Providence. Element also previously played under Bruins head coach Marco Sturm with AHL-Ontario.<\/p>\n

Wolanin, 30, joins the organization after spending last three seasons with AHL-Abbotsford \u2014 with whom he posted 15 goals and 124 points in 149 games, taking home the Eddie Shore Award as the league\u2019s top defenseman in 2022-23. Wolanin has appeared in 86 NHL games between stints with the Ottawa Senators, Los Angeles Kings, Buffalo Sabers and Vancouver Canucks.<\/p>\n

The B\u2019s have been ravaged by injuries<\/a> over the last couple of weeks, as they placed first-year forwards Viktor Arvidsson and Casey Mittlestadt\u00a0on injured reserve, and\u00a0forward John Beecher\u00a0on waivers on Monday. Charlie McAvoy is also out indefinitely after taking a deflected shot in the face on Saturday night against the Montreal Canadiens, while Elias Lindholm has been absent since being injured against the Buffalo Sabres on Oct. 30.<\/p>\n

It\u2019ll remain to be seen if either Element or Wolanin make an appearance with the big club, but at this rate, it was important to add some depth\u2026<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Boston Bruins added some organizational depth on Thursday.
