Overview
- Beecher was the lone NHL player placed on waivers Monday, triggering a 24-hour window for other teams to file a claim.
- If unclaimed, the Bruins intend to assign the 24-year-old center to AHL Providence.
- Boston earlier recalled Riley Tufte and Matej Blumel to cover forward vacancies caused by injuries to Viktor Arvidsson, Elias Lindholm and Casey Mittelstadt.
- Defenseman Charlie McAvoy remains under medical evaluation, with surgery not ruled out, a factor in the team’s roster shuffling.
- Beecher has one goal in six NHL games this season after logging 78 games and 11 points last year, and he is on a one-year $900,000 contract with restricted free agency pending next offseason.
