Beecher recorded an assist in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Canadiens. - 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. |

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. |

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

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

Beecher had an assist, one shot and three hits in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Canadiens. - 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. 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 Bruins are second in the NHL with 31 PIM and first in shorthanded time on ice (23:19) through two contests. |

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 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. |

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 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. |

The 23-year-old, who was selected 30th overall in the 2019 Draft, chipped in with 112 hits and 34 blocked shots in his rookie campaign. He will give the Bruins extra depth at center entering the playoffs. |

Beecher was reassigned to AHL Providence on Tuesday, Mark Divver of the New England Hockey Journal reports. - Beecher will switch spots with Jayson Megna, who was recalled in a corresponding move.

Beecher was called up from AHL Providence on Monday, Mark Divver of the New England Hockey Journal reports. - Beecher has registered just one goal and one assist in his last 18 outings while dishing out 41 hits. The center's call-up is likely precautionary, as Charlie Coyle was reportedly under the weather, though he is still expected to play against the Blues on Monday.

Beecher scored a goal and blocked two shots in Monday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Avalanche. - Beecher snapped a six-game point drought with the tally. The 22-year-old was scratched in two of the previous three contests as the Bruins recently welcomed back Matthew Poitras from the World Junior Championship. Beecher remains in a fourth-line role when he plays, giving him limited upside on offense. He has five goals, two assists, 26 shots on net, 56 hits, 25 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating over 36 appearances. |

Beecher scored a goal in Monday's 5-2 road loss against the Blue Jackets. - Beecher struck for his fourth goal of the season at 17:40 of the third period, with helpers to Kevin Shattenkirk and Trent Frederic, putting a bow on the scoring. It was much too little and too late, and Spencer Martin shut down the high-octane Boston offense all night. Beecher has had three goals in the past five games, but he remains useful only in the deepest of fantasy pools. |

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

Beecher scored a goal on three shots in Monday's 3-2 win over the Stars. - Beecher opened the scoring at 10:21 of the first period with his first NHL tally. The 22-year-old had gone eight games without a point entering Monday, though his limited fourth-line role explains his lack of offense. The first-round pick from 2019 has two points, 12 shots on net, 18 hits, seven blocked shots, nine PIM and a minus-3 rating through 12 outings overall. |

Beecher notched an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Sharks. - Beecher set up a Brad Marchand tally in the first period. The helper was Beecher's first NHL point, coming in just his third game. The 22-year-old center is already killing penalties, carving out an important on-ice role for the Bruins. He's added four shots on net, seven PIM and an even plus-minus rating so far. Beecher's mostly defensive usage is unlikely to lead to much fantasy relevance in his rookie season. |

Beecher didn't notch a point in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Blackhawks, but he did log seven penalty minutes. - Beecher was involved in a third-period scrap with Chicago's Jason Dickinson.
