Bruins Reassign John Beecher

March 24, 2024 at 1:25 pm CDT | by Josh Erickson Leave a Comment

Bruins forward John Beecher is back on the farm with AHL Providence after being reassigned Sunday, per CapFriendly.

The 22-year-old center/winger has spent most of the season in the majors, landing a spot on the opening-night roster and making his NHL debut over four years after Boston selected him with the 30th overall pick in the 2019 draft. He was designated for the minors for the first time this season on Jan. 20 and remained there through the trade deadline until being recalled on three separate emergency loans earlier this month. He’d been on the NHL roster without reassignment since Mar. 16 after being papered between leagues five times in six days.

Beecher had played in four consecutive contests before being scratched due to illness in Saturday’s 3-2 loss to the Flyers. He scored once on three shots on goal and added an assist and a +1 rating in that timeframe, playing solid bottom-six minutes while averaging 12:28 per game.

He wouldn’t have lasted much longer on the active roster anyway, at least as an emergency recall. Winger James van Riemsdyk returned from an illness that kept him out for most of mid-March against Philadelphia, ending the conditions that required Beecher to have 12 healthy forwards. If the Bruins want to bring Beecher up without any other absences from their forward group, they would need to utilize one of their three remaining post-deadline standard recalls.

After an injury-plagued collegiate career with the University of Michigan and middling offensive results in the minors, it seems unlikely the 6-foot-3 pivot will reach the ceiling Boston hoped for by selecting him in the first round. Overall, early returns on his impact in a fourth-line role aren’t terribly promising outside of his 54.7 FO%, as he’s managed only six goals and three assists through 43 games.

He’s also recorded the worst even-strength CF% (37.7) of any Bruins skater with at least 10 games played. His -6.3 expected rating is also the lowest on the team. Beecher’s point totals likely aren’t sustainable either, as he’s shooting at an unusually high 20% rate.

Beecher has shown some improvement with Providence this season, posting 4-4–8 with a +9 rating in 17 games compared to 9-14–23 and a +9 rating in 61 games last year. The New York native is in the second season of his three-year, $2.775MM entry-level contract, which pays him a $70K salary at the minor-league level.
