Oskar Steen hopes for more than just cameos with the Bruins this season

Steen has spent most of the last three campaigns with Providence, earning cameos in Boston the last three seasons totaling 26 games, including a three-game call-up last season. Given his age (25) and the amount of time in the AHL, Bruins coach Jim Montgomery was asked if he senses any urgency from Steen. Steen said he concentrated on getting quicker and stronger with his off-ice work in preparation for camp, and it has already paid dividends. “I've got more experiences here and I feel more comfortable, so I'm just trying to do my best here every day and don't think too much and just do my job,” said Steen, a sixth-round selection in 2016.
