Overall, he has three points, 20 shots on net, 15 hits, 14 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating through 21 outings this season.

Beecher logged a shorthanded assist in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to the Lightning.
EDGE Analysis
Beecher has played in four straight games for the Flames since he was claimed off waivers from the Bruins on Nov. 18. The 24-year-old has settled into a fourth-line role, which could make it tough for him to rack up points, especially on a low-scoring team. Through 10 outings overall this season, he has two points, 11 shots on net, 10 hits, seven blocked shots and a minus-1 rating.

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

Beecher (upper body) will miss Thursday's clash against Ottawa.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Beecher (upper body) won't play Tuesday versus the Maple Leafs, Scott McLaughlin of WEEI reports.
EDGE Analysis
Beecher will miss his second straight game due to the injury. The 24-year-old forward should be considered questionable to return for the Bruins' upcoming two-game road trip, which features games in Ottawa on Thursday and in Montreal on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis
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.

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

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