Steeves was scratched for the ninth straight game in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Panthers.
The Bruins have mostly stuck with the same group of forwards lately, leaving Steeves out of the lineup for all but three of 19 games since the Olympic break. Lukas Reichel has been the one to snag the bottom-six role Steeves was operating in prior to the break. It's still been a decent campaign for Steeves, who has 16 points, 52 shots on net, 140 hits, 32 PIM and 27 blocked shots over 41 appearances in his first year with the Bruins.
