The Boston Bruins have yet to find consistency in their game early on in the 2024-25 campaign.

Despite making a splash and adding several players in free agency, the Black and Gold have an overall record of 6-7-1 through the first 14 games of the season.

One of the biggest areas the Bruins have struggled with is finding chemistry within the forward group. To help jumpstart the offense, Boston signed two-time Stanley Cup champion Tyler Johnson to a one-year deal on Monday and then waived struggling forward Max Jones on Tuesday.

Jones went unclaimed and the Bruins assigned the 26-year-old to their AHL affiliate in Providence on Wednesday.

Boston signed Jones to a two-year, $2 million deal on the first day of free agency after he spent his entire previous professional career with the Anaheim Ducks. Between injuries and inconsistencies, Jones recorded just 62 points across 262 games with the Ducks, including five goals and 10 assists last season.

His performance through the first part of the season with the Bruins didn't earn him the opportunity to be in the lineup on a nightly basis in Boston. Jones suited up just for games for the Black and Gold and was held scoreless in those contests. He registered one shot on goal and eight hits and was a minus-four while averaging 11:13 minutes of ice time.

Being assigned to Providence could actually do wonders for Jones, given that he will likely see more ice time and have the opportunity to learn the Bruins' system better.
