BOSTON -- The Boston Bruins acquired left wing Krzysztof Oliwa from the New York Rangers on Monday in exchange for a ninth-round draft pick next year.

Oliwa began the season with the Rangers and played nine scoreless games before being assigned to Hartford of the AHL, where he had one assist in 15 games.

He was expected to join the Bruins in Toronto for Tuesday's game against the Maple Leafs.

Oliwa was drafted by New Jersey in 1993 and played seven seasons with the Devils before stints in Columbus, Pittsburgh and New York.

The Bruins have lost four of their last five and are 2-9-1 in their last 12 games.
