BOSTON - Three games is hardly a substantial sample size.

But Jack Ahcan and Oskar Steen are grateful for the taste of the National Hockey League they received last spring. And as the Bruins prospects - who are both taking part in this week's Rookie Camp - get set to make an impression on the Boston brass this fall, they'll both be aiming to draw on their experiences.

BOSTON - Fabian Lysell is using this week to learn.

While the Bruins' 2021 first-round pick boasts plenty of raw ability, he knows there is also ample room for improvement - both on and off the ice - as he begins his first Rookie Camp with the Black & Gold.

BOSTON - The Boston Bruins have announced the team's roster and schedule for 2021 Rookie Camp and the Prospects Challenge from September 18-19 at LECOM HarborCenter in Buffalo.

The Bruins' rookies will compete against the Buffalo Sabres and New Jersey Devils' rookies in the round-robin challenge featuring prospects from each team. The participating teams will each play two games during the course of the event, which is being held entirely at HarborCenter.

BOSTON - Craig Smith stuck around Boston for nearly a month following the Bruins' exit from the Stanley Cup Playoffs last spring. With the NHL's COVID-19 protocols discouraging activity outside of the rink during the 2020-21 campaign, Smith was unable to get much of a feel for his new city.

So, when the season ended in early June, the winger and his wife, Aleah, made an effort to explore the Hub before returning to Wisconsin for the duration of the summer. With Smith now back in town ahead of training camp, he's already noticing a difference in his comfort level as he gears up for his second season in the Black & Gold.

BostonBruins.com - Former Bruins center Fred Stanfield passed away on Monday at the age of 77. The Toronto native played six seasons in Boston from 1967-1973, helping the Black & Gold to two Stanley Cup titles in 1970 and 1972.

Stanfield was acquired from the Chicago Blackhawks in 1967 in one of the most famous trades in National Hockey League history. In May of that year, he was traded to Boston along with Phil Esposito and Ken Hodge in exchange for Gilles Marcotte, Pit Martin, and Jack Norris, setting the tone for the Bruins' dominant run through the early 1970s.
