Snagged off waivers Beecher was claimed off waivers by the Flames on Tuesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Beecher is coming off an upper-body injury, which the Bruins may have believed would disuade teams from putting in a claim. Instead of heading to AHL Providence, the 24-year-old center will be shipping off to Calgary, where he figures to slot into a bottom-six role. With Beecher in the fold, the Flames will likely return Sam Morton to AHL Calgary.

Hits waivers Beecher (upper body) was put on waivers Monday, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

NOVEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out Thursday Beecher (upper body) will miss Thursday's clash against Ottawa.

Impact It will be Beecher's third straight game on the shelf. However, he did participate in Thursday's morning skate, so perhaps he's getting close to returning. Beecher's next opportunity to draw back into the lineup is Saturday in Montreal.

NOVEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Still out Tuesday Beecher (upper body) won't play Tuesday versus the Maple Leafs, Scott McLaughlin of WEEI reports.

Won't play Saturday Beecher (upper body) won't be in the lineup against Toronto on Saturday, Belle Fraser of the Bruins' official site reports.

Impact Beecher will miss at least one game after being hurt in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over Ottawa. However, it's unclear when he will be available to return. He has one goal, six shots on net, four blocked shots and seven hits in six appearances this season. With Beecher and Casey Mittelstadt (lower body) unavailable, Jeffrey Viel and Alex Steeves will face Toronto on Saturday.

Exits contest Beecher (upper body) won't return to Thursday's game versus the Senators.

Impact Beecher left the bench in the first period and was ruled out for the game early in the second. The 24-year-old can be considered day-to-day for now. Should he miss time, Jeffrey Viel could enter the lineup or the Bruins could dip into their depth at AHL Providence with a call-up.

Draws in, nets goal Beecher scored a goal on three shots and blocked two shots in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Avalanche.

Impact Beecher was a healthy scratch for the first five games of the campaign. The 24-year-old replaced Jeffrey Viel in the lineup Saturday and made an immediate impact with a goal at 3:11 of the first period, but that was all the Bruins could muster. Beecher put up 11 points in 78 outings in a fourth-line role last year and offers some upside in the physical categories. However, he's unlikely to be a power-play option, which will severely limit his offense, so his fantasy utility isn't great.

On ice Wednesday Beecher (undisclosed) was skating with other veterans ahead of Bruins' development camp Wednesday, Scott McLaughlin of WEEI reports.

Impact Beecher, with his new contract in hand, has resumed skating following an April surgery to address a minor, undisclosed injury. In his 78 regular-season games last year, the 24-year-old center notched three goals and eight helpers. Looking ahead to 2025-26, Beecher figures to remain in a bottom-six role and will be hard-pressed to put up more than 20 points.

Inks one-year contract Beecher (undisclosed) penned a one-year, $900,000 contract with Boston on Monday.

Impact Beecher recorded three goals and eight helpers in 78 regular-season games for the Bruins this season. With a new contract in hand, the 24-year-old center figures to be a fourth-line staple for the Bruins this season -- though he could move up if there are injury concerns at the center position. Despite offseason surgery for an undisclosed injury, Beecher is expected to be healthy for the start of the 2025-26 campaign.

JUNE 30 • ROTOWIRE

Might undergo surgery Beecher (undisclosed) might undergo surgery over the offseason, Scott McLaughlin of WEEI reports Wednesday.

Impact Beecher had three goals, 11 points, 26 PIM, 85 hits and 71 blocks across 78 outings with the Bruins in 2024-25. It's not clear if the 24-year-old's injury will impact their summer training or their availability for the start of the preseason. In the event that he's healthy, Beecher should start 2025-26 in a bottom-six role.
