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

Bruins' John Beecher: Points in two straight
John Beecher had an assist, one shot and three hits in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Canadiens.Beecher went strong to the net and 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. The fourth-line forward is averaging a healthy 13:58 TOI per game; however, a good chunk of that is for his role as a penalty killer. The Boston Bruins are second in the NHL with 31 PIM and first in shorthanded time on ice (23:19) through two contests.

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

Bruins' John Beecher: Pots goal Saturday
John Beecher scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Maple Leafs in Game 1.Beecher had just one goal over his last 10 contests during the regular season. The 23-year-old was briefly assigned to AHL Providence following the Boston Bruins' penultimate regular-season game, but he was recalled to play in a fourth-line role once more to begin the playoffs. 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.
