The Boston Bruins are adding some depth between the pipes from across the pond.
Goaltender Simon Zajicek has agreed to a one-year, entry-level contract with the club worth $872,500 at the NHL level, the Bruins announced Monday.

A native of Frydlant, Czechia, Zajicek has a 36-48-0 record, 2.68 GAA and .912 save percentage in 90 career games with HC Litvinov.
