Latest news
Clifton signed a two-year, $4.5 million contract with the Bruins on Wednesday, Conor Ryan of The Boston Globe reports.
Clifton spent the first five years of his career in Boston before suiting up for the Sabres and Penguins over the past three seasons. He made 50 regular-season appearances with Pittsburgh during the 2025-26 campaign, recording two goals, four assists, 180 hits, 84 blocked shots and 53 PIM while averaging 16:46 of ice time.

Clifton (upper body) is slated to play against St. Louis on Tuesday, per Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports.
Clifton will return to the lineup in Pittsburgh's regular-season finale after sitting out Sunday's 3-0 loss to Washington. He has generated two goals, four assists, 34 shots on net, 83 blocked shots and 179 hits through 49 appearances this campaign.

Clifton (upper body) won't play against Washington on Sunday.
Clifton will miss at least one game and is day-to-day ahead of Tuesday's regular-season finale against St. Louis. He has produced two goals, four assists, 34 shots on net, 83 blocked shots and 179 hits through 49 appearances this campaign.

Clifton notched an assist, two hits and a plus-3 rating in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Red Wings.
Clifton avoided getting skunked in March, with the helper being his first point in 15 games. The 30-year-old defenseman is going to have a heavy competition on his hands for a third-pairing job, but it looks to be his over Jack St. Ivany for now. The Penguins also have Ryan Graves, Ilya Solovyov and Caleb Jones on their roster for defensive depth. Through 44 appearances this season, Clifton has just six points with 30 shots on net, 168 hits, 70 blocked shots, 42 PIM and a plus-3 rating.

Clifton scored a goal on two shots, added two PIM and logged seven hits in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Devils.
Clifton snapped a four-game slump with the tally. The 30-year-old defenseman has been in a part-time role for much of the season, limiting him to four points, 20 shots on net, 114 hits, 42 blocked shots, 31 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 27 appearances. Clifton appears to be preferred over Ilya Solovyov and Ryan Graves while Jack St. Ivany (hand) is out until late March.

Clifton scored a goal and added five hits in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Blue Jackets.
Clifton has played in four straight games after getting scratched for 11 of the previous 12 contests. For now, it looks like he has a third-pairing job locked down while Erik Karlsson (lower body) is out. The goal was Clifton's first point in 19 appearances, and he's added 15 shots on net, 80 hits, 31 blocked shots, 22 PIM and a minus-4 rating.
