Lights lamp in season debut Tufte scored a power-play goal in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Hurricanes.

Impact The 27-year-old winger spoiled Pyotr Kochetkov's shutout bid with only 10 seconds left in the third period by banging home the puck during a scrum in front of the Carolina net. Promoted from AHL Providence earlier in the day, it was Tufte's first goal as a Bruin in seven contests -- he played six with Boston last season but didn't record a point. A first-round pick of the Stars in the 2016 NHL Draft, 25th overall, Tufte delivered 21 goals and 42 points in 58 games for Providence in 2024-25, but he's still looking to establish himself at the top level. Injuries to Elias Lindholm (lower body), Viktor Arvidsson (lower body) and Casey Mittelstadt (lower body) are giving him a chance.

Racks up four points Friday Tufte scored a goal on three shots and added three assists in AHL Providence's 5-3 win over Springfield on Friday.

Impact Tufte is off to a fantastic start with four goals and nine points in five games for Providence. The 27-year-old isn't a prospect at this stage of his career, but he has a little NHL experience. The Bruins have done fine early in 2025-26 with 3.22 goals per game, but if the NHL club needs a boost, Tufte could be an option for a call-up.
