"They were clearly the better team, but the Blackhawks had a 2-1 lead in the second period and it looked like they would surely make it 3-1 when the Hawks broke in on a 2-on-1. Joonas Korpisalo looked like he had no chance to go post-to-post after the cross pass. But out of nowhere, Alex Steeves came flying in on the backcheck to break up what appeared to be a tap-in."
"The B's announced the deal that will pay him $1.625 million a year on Monday. "It feels really good. I had expectations but there's also always unknowns when you change organizations in free agency. But ultimately they've given me a really good opportunity," said Steeves. "It's just really a special feeling and I'm appreciative that they believe in who I am as a person and player and my potential so it feels really good.""
Alex Steeves made a crucial backcheck in Chicago that prevented a likely Blackhawks goal and helped trigger a four-goal comeback for the Bruins. He signed a two-year contract paying $1.625 million per season after moving from the Toronto organization and spending time in Providence. Steeves had limited NHL exposure previously but seized a November recall opportunity, earning a roster role through defensive plays and consistent performance. The new contract rewards perseverance, recognizes his potential, and secures Steeves as a Bruin for two more seasons while reflecting the team's confidence in his abilities and character.
