The Boston Bruins have bolstered their organizational goaltending depth for next season.
The team announced Wednesday it had signed Brandon Bussi, most recently with Western Michigan University, to a one-year, entry-level contract for the 2022-23 season at a cap hit of $825,000. The 23-year-old netminder will spend the remainder of this season with AHL Providence on an amateur tryout agreement (ATO).

Bussi, who stands 6-foot-5, 209 pounds, led the Broncos to a win over Northeastern in the first round of the NCAA men's hockey tournament before losing in the regional final to Minnesota last weekend in Worcester. Over 77 career games at Western Michigan, Bussi was 46-25-5 with a 2.61 goals against average and .910 save percentage.
The two goalies the Bruins currently have in Providence are Troy Grosenick, 32, who's appeared in four career NHL games and Kyle Keyser, 23, who's yet to appear in an NHL game. Like Bussi, neither Grosenick nor Keyser were selected in their respective entry drafts.
The Bruins also own the rights to goaltender Philip Svedeback, a Swedish national the team selected in the fourth round (117th overall) last June. Svedeback has spent this season playing juniors in the USHL with the Dubuque Fighting Saints.

Svedeback was the first goalie Boston had drafted since current starter Jeremy Swayman (fourth round, 111th overall) in 2017. Swayman has been mostly excellent for the Bruins as a rookie this season, although he did get lit up for six goals in a loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday.
