Steen will open the 2020-21 season with AHL Providence, Mark Divver of the New England Hockey Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Steen logged seven goals and 23 points in 60 games with Providence last season, but beyond those fairly modest numbers, Scott Wheeler of The Athletic suggests that the 2016 sixth-rounder "is one of a small number of Bruins prospects whose skill level actually has some flair to it." Listed at 5-foot-9, 188 pounds, the 22-year-old will have to up his offensive production at the AHL level before earning a call-up, but given the unique circumstances surrounding the current NHL season, it's within the realm of possibility that the Swede spends some time with the big club at some point this season.

Steen (undisclosed) is on the ice for practice Friday, Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Steen was held out of the first four days of camp due to an undisclosed issue, but he'll get a few days of practice in with the big club before its season opener against the Devils on Thursday. The 22-year-old forward will, at best, land a spot on the Bruins' taxi squad, so there's no reason for virtual managers to keep tabs on him.

Steen hasn't been able to participate in the first two days of the Bruins' training camp due to an undisclosed issue, Joe Haggerty of Boston Hockey Now reports.
EDGE Analysis
Steen was never going to make Boston's Opening Night roster, but he's nonetheless missing out on some invaluable experience. The Bruins' should release an update once the 2016 sixth-round pick is ready to make his training camp debut.

The Bruins have loaned Steen to IF Bjorkloven of Sweden's HockeyAllsvenskan, freelance hockey writer Mark Divver reports.
EDGE Analysis
Steen spent the entirety of the 2019-20 campaign with AHL Providence, picking up 23 points and 48 PIM in 60 games. The 2016 sixth-round pick will likely be recalled ahead of next season's training camp.

Steen has been assigned to AHL Providence.
EDGE Analysis
A strong training camp wasn't enough for Steen to crack the Bruins' initial regular-season roster, but the 21-year-old Swede is a candidate for an in-season call-up up if he gets off to a good start for Providence in his first season as a pro in North America.

The Bruins have signed Steen to a three-year, entry-level contract.
EDGE Analysis
The 21-year-old's deal runs through the 2021-22 season. Steen, who the Bruins took 165th overall in the 2016 NHL Draft, is coming off a breakout season with Farjestad BK of the Swedish Hockey League, in which he notched 17 goals and 37 points in 46 games. At 5-foot-9, 186 pounds, Steen will likely need to prove that he can handle the rigors of the North American pro game with an initial AHL stint, but down the road, the energetic forward has the potential to help the big club with some secondary scoring.
