The Boston Bruins got their first look at Ondrej Kase on Monday during his first practice in Brighton.
Sporting No. 28, Kase, who came to Boston in exchange for David Backes, Axel Andersson and a 2020 first-round draft pick, skated with David Krejci and Jake DeBrusk on the second line. His enthusiastic approach took center stage during his on-ice session and his first interview with the Boston media.
“I’m very happy [to be here], I’m very excited,” Kase said after practice. “I think it’s probably the best organization where I can be.”
The 24-year-old admittingly felt nervous meeting his new teammates for the first time.
