John Beecher - NHL News & Rumors

Back on scoresheet Thursday Beecher logged an assist, two shots on goal and one block in 11:23 of ice time in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to Edmonton.

Impact Beecher recorded the primary assist on Mark Kastelic's fourth goal of the season in the opening stanza. The helper snapped a seven-game point drought for Beecher, but he hasn't found the back of the net since Oct. 16. The 23-year-old has chipped in two goals, six helpers and a plus-3 rating through 33 contests. Beecher won't offer much fantasy value outside of deeper leagues that offer non-scoring production.

Sets up empty-netter Beecher recorded an assist in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Canadiens.

Impact Beecher snapped a 15-game point drought when he assisted on Cole Koepke's empty-netter. The 23-year-old Beecher had five points over his first five games this season, but he just two assists since. Overall, he's at seven points, 17 shots on net, 29 hits, 26 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating through 25 appearances. While he'll likely surpass his 10-point campaign from 2023-24, it doesn't appear his offense will be consistent enough for fantasy managers to roster him.

Goes quiet after hot start Beecher's point drought reached 12 games in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Red Wings.

Impact Beecher was a pleasant surprise in the first couple weeks of the season, but he's contributed no points since his assist Oct. 26 versus the Maple Leafs. The 23-year-old has two goals, six points, 14 shots on net, 28 hits, 24 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 21 appearances, and he was scratched versus the Blues on Nov. 16. Beecher is still good enough to hold down a fourth-line role, but he's not a fantasy factor now that his offense has dried up.

Deposits empty-netter Beecher scored an empty-net goal and went plus-3 in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Avalanche.

Impact Beecher cut off the Avalanche's comeback attempt with the empty-netter. The 23-year-old has scored in back-to-back games and is up to five points through five contests in a fourth-line role. He's also gone plus-9 with six shots on net, 11 hits and eight blocked shots. The Bruins haven't gotten much from their middle six, allowing Beecher and linemates Cole Koepke and Mark Kastelic to pick up the slack.

Scores goal, assist against Cats Beecher scored a goal on one shot while notching an assist in a 4-3 loss to the Panthers on Monday.

Impact Beecher is off to a strong 2024-25 campaign with four points in four games despite slotting into a bottom-six role. As a rookie last year, the 23-year-old New York native put up seven goals and three assists in 52 regular-season contests. Those numbers look set to fall easily this year, with Beecher possibly challenging for the 30-point threshold.

Points in two straight Beecher had an assist, one shot and three hits in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Canadiens.

Impact Beecher went strong to the net but was rebuffed by Cayden Primeau, but the goalie couldn't stop Cole Koepke's follow up. The primary assist gave Beecher his second assist in as many games.

Contributes assist Tuesday Beecher provided an assist, three shots on goal and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Panthers.

Impact Beecher made the Opening Night roster as a fourth-line forward, though he ended up with 15:18 of ice time. It's an encouraging start for the 23-year-old, who had a modest 10 points and added 112 hits in 52 regular-season outings in 2023-24 while also appearing in 12 of the Bruins' 13 playoff games. Beecher didn't put up high-end scoring numbers in his NCAA career at Michigan nor at AHL Providence prior to his call-up last year, so his fantasy value will be limited to deeper formats that count hits.

MAY 19, 2024 • NHL.COM

Pots goal Saturday Beecher scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Maple Leafs in Game 1.

Impact Beecher had just one goal over his last 10 contests during the regular season.

He had 10 points, 112 hits and 38 shots on net over 52 appearances as a rookie this year, but there's always a risk he could sit for a more veteran forward if his play is underwhelming in the postseason.

Buries goal Monday Beecher scored a goal and blocked two shots in Monday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Avalanche.

Impact Beecher snapped a six-game point drought with the tally.

Pots GWG Wednesday Beecher scored the game-winning goal in Wednesday's 3-1 victory over the Panthers.

Impact The rookie center put the Bruins in the lead for good midway through the second period by grabbing a loose puck in the slot, outwaiting Sergei Bobrovsky and then getting a bit lucky as his attempt to slide the puck over the goal line banked in off Oliver Ekman-Larsson. Beecher, the 30th overall pick in the 2019 NHL Draft, is getting his feet wet in a fourth-line role, but he's scored in back-to-back games and all three of his goals this season have come in the last seven contests.

Impact Beecher opened the scoring at 10:21 of the first period with his first NHL tally.
