Stralman signed a one-year contract with HV71 of the Swedish Hockey League on Saturday, according to Mark Divver of the New England Hockey Journal.

EDGE Analysis

Stralman played in only eight games with the Bruins in 2022-23 before they sent him to AHL Providence at the end of November. He had four assists in 17 AHL games. The 36-year-old will likely finish his career in his native Sweden.

Stralman was placed on waivers Monday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stralman has been credited with three shots on goal, 10 blocks and 12 hits in eight games with Boston this season. Derek Forbort (finger) is close to a return to the lineup, so Stralman could be on his way to the AHL.

Stralman (not injury related) is expected to be a healthy scratch Tuesday night against Dallas, NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stralman had been dealing with a work visa issue, but NESN reported that was settled last Friday. Stralman appears to be an extra right now, but has been working in practices to make himself an option when he is called upon to play.

Stralman (not injury related) is doubtful Saturday against the Wild, Matt Porter of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stralman saw action Tuesday in Ottawa and then was initally unable to return to the States due to visa issues. Coach Jim Montgomery wants Stralman to get in more practices before getting back into the lineup. Jakub Zboril will likely remain in the lineup until Stralman is able to return.

Stralman won't be with the team to face Anaheim on Thursday as he is still dealing with visa issues, Conor Ryan of MassLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stralman was apparently able to play when the Bruins were in Canada to play the Senators on Tuesday but is still working to resolve a visa issue within the United States and remained in Ottawa. Even if Stralman was available, he may have been a healthy scratch anyway with the return of Matt Grzleyck (shoulder) from injured reserve.

Stralman (visa issue) has been taken off the non-roster injured reserve list, per the NHL media site.

EDGE Analysis

Stralman signed a one-year, $1 million contract with Boston on Oct. 11, but he missed the Bruins' first three games while sorting out visa issues. Matt Porter of The Boston Globe reported that Stralman still doesn't have his US visa, but he can play in Canada. If that's the case then his availability for Thursday's game against Anaheim is still in doubt, but he can make his season debut Tuesday versus Ottawa.

Stralman won't be available versus Washington on Wednesday as he resolves his visa issue, Conor Ryan of MassLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stralman garnered 23 points in 74 games last season with the Coyotes but may struggle for regular minutes once the blue line is fully fit. Once Charlie McAvoy (shoulder) and Matt Grzelcyk (shoulder) are cleared to return, Stralman will likely find himself on the outside looking in and may even be reassigned to the minors.

Stralman signed a one-year, $1 million contract with the Bruins on Tuesday, Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stralman attended the Bruins' camp on a tryout, and he was able to turn that into a full contract. With Charlie McAvoy (shoulder) and Matt Grzelcyk (shoulder) both out early in the year, Stralman should have a chance to earn some minutes in October, but he'll probably slip into a part-time role later in the campaign.

The Bruins have signed Stralman to a PTO.

EDGE Analysis

Stralman had eight goals and 23 points in 74 games with Arizona while averaging 21:20 last season. He's not likely to log that kind of ice time if he secures a spot with Boston, but the 36-year-old is a solid defenseman with 930 NHL regular-season games and 113 playoff contests on his resume.

Stralman will sign a PTO with the Bruins, according to Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic.

EDGE Analysis

Stralman spent last season with Arizona, where he had eight goals and 23 points in 74 games for the lowly Coyotes. He will attempt to make the Bruins squad as a sixth or seventh defenseman.
