Overview

  • Steeves, 26, has eight goals and 14 points through 33 games for Boston this season while logging 12:24 per game with time on both special teams.
  • He produced seven goals across a 13-game stretch in late November and December but has no goals and four assists over his last 12 outings.
  • His forechecking has stood out, leading the Bruins in hits per 60 (17.15) and ranking fourth in total hits (117).
  • The $1.625 million AAV projects as about 1.5% of the cap and roughly ninth among Bruins forwards, with the team still carrying an estimated $17.4 million in offseason space.
  • An undrafted Notre Dame product and former Marlies standout, Steeves signed with Boston for $850,000 on July 1, was recalled from Providence on Nov. 8, and has remained a lineup regular.
