Jim Montgomery Didn't Hold Back When Talking About This Player
Jim Montgomery didn't hold back when discussing Oskar Steen's recent journey. This offseason, Steen vied for a spot on the active roster, but he began the season in Providence. However, due to injuries, the Boston Bruins have called him back.
The decision to place Milan Lucic on long-term injured reserve paved the way for Steen's return. Head coach Jim Montgomery addressed the situation, mentioning that several players are
"questionable." He said, "Really good camp. Just playing fast and going to hard areas, playing inside the dots is a real big strength of his." Montgomery continued, "And talking to the staff down in Providence, typically Ryan Mougenel, he said he's been really impactful last three games. When you bring guys up, you always want guys feeling good about their games, come here with confidence, and he's a confident player."
Steen played three games for Boston last season and netted a goal. He's had a strong start in Providence this season, with three goals and two assists in five games. Steen was asked if his call-up Saturday will be different than last season. He responded, «It's almost the same thing, just going up and doing my thing and trying to win hockey games up here."
Steen added, «I know what I have to do, and I feel much more comfortable every time I get up here. I'll try to bring the good hockey that I've played so far. That's what I'm aiming for.»
The Bruins have high hopes that Steen's scoring ability can make an impact, especially as they enter a challenging stretch against Atlantic Division opponents.
