Latest news
Tufte was placed on waivers by New Jersey on Sunday.
Tufte secured a one-year contract with New Jersey in the offseason after he spent the 2025-26 campaign in Boston's organization. He scored a goal across four games with Boston and was also effective with AHL Providence, where he posted 32 goals and 56 points across 64 regular-season outings. If he goes unclaimed over the next 24 hours, he'll open the 2026-27 campaign with AHL Utica. Given that he was one of the last depth forwards on New Jersey's roster ahead of Sunday, he'll likely be one of the first names up from the minors if the team runs into injury trouble.

Tufte signed a one-year, $850,000 contract with the Devils on Wednesday.
Tufte had 32 goals, 56 points and 71 PIM in 64 regular-season appearances with AHL Providence in 2025-26. He also scored a goal in four outings with Boston last campaign. Despite receiving a one-way contract, Tufte is likely to fall short of an NHL roster spot during training camp. However, the 28-year-old might get a stint at the top level during the season if the Devils run into injury problems.

Tufte scored three goals and added an assist in AHL Providence's 6-4 win over Bridgeport on Saturday.
Tufte crossed the 30-goal and 50-point marks in this contest. He's at 31 goals, 22 assists and a plus-28 rating over 56 appearances. He has six goals and two helpers over his last four outings as he looks to put together a strong performance late in the campaign.

Tufte scored twice in AHL Providence's 5-2 win over Utica on Saturday.
Tufte has secured a career-best year in the AHL with 27 goals and 48 points, as well as a plus-27 rating, over 54 appearances. He's slowed down a bit later, earning just three points over his last six contests. He was passed over for a call-up when the Bruins brought up Lukas Reichel to Boston, but Tufte has been pretty decent for much of the campaign.

Tufte scored twice and added an assist in AHL Providence's 4-1 win over Charlotte on Saturday.
Tufte is on a career-best pace at the AHL level, earning 18 goals and 15 assists over 33 games. That includes eight goals and five helpers over 12 outings in January. Tufte got four games with Boston earlier in the NHL campaign, but it's unclear if the 27-year-old will be considered for another call-up.

Tufte was reassigned to AHL Providence on Wednesday.
Tufte has a goal in four appearances with Boston this season. The 27-year-old also has eight goals and 16 points in 13 outings with Providence in 2025-26.
