Steeves is starting to answer the question of whether he can make an impact in NHL games in the same way he has in the AHL.

Alex Steeves, on what he’ll do with his first goal puck: “I don't really know. I'm not really one to display all that stuff. Like, I don't even have a house. I live in my parents' basement in the summer. I'm sure my mom maybe will have a little shrine in my room or something.”

Alex Steeves scored his first NHL goal as the Toronto Maple Leafs jumped out to an early lead and beat the Carolina Hurricanes 6-3 Saturday night. Pontus Holmberg had two goals and an assist, John Tavares had a goal and an assist and David Kampf and Auston Matthews also scored for Toronto.
