Alex Steeves has been one of the Bruins’ more encouraging success stories this season.
And on Wednesday morning, the versatile forward was rewarded with some security in the NHL ranks. Boston announced it signed Steeves to a two-year contract extension — carrying an annual cap hit of $1.625 million.
A longtime AHLer who only appeared in 14 games across four seasons with the Maple Leafs, Steeves has made the most of his opportunity this year with Boston after signing a one-year deal over the summer.
In 33 games for Boston this season, Steeves has scored eight goals and 14 points — averaging 12:24 of ice time per game.
