  "account": "Boston Bruins defenseman Connor Clifton has returned to the team he played for during the 2022-23 season, reuniting with former teammate Alex Steeves in a surprising housing situation. Clifton, who owns a condominium in Boston, accidentally rented it to Steeves when the forward moved to the city after joining the Bruins. Initially, the arrangement made sense as Clifton had left Boston for a time and no longer needed the condo. However, when Clifton signed a two-year contract worth $4.5 million with the Bruins on July 1, Steeves became his new roommate. Steeves later reflected on the situation, saying, \"Damn, what does this mean?\" to which Clifton replied, \"But congrats though.\" Clifton and his wife were planning to search for a larger home with a yard for their young daughter, Callie. Despite the unusual living situation, Clifton is hopeful that the Bruins' environment remains similar to his successful first stint in Boston. The veteran defenseman expects to compete for a significant role in the team and believes his return to familiar surroundings will benefit his performance.",
