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

Beecher (undisclosed) penned a one-year, $900,000 contract with Boston on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Beecher recorded three goals and eight helpers in 78 regular-season games for the Bruins in 2024-25. 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.

Beecher (undisclosed) might undergo surgery over the offseason, Scott McLaughlin of WEEI reports Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
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 his summer training or availability for the start of the preseason. In the event that he's healthy, Beecher should start 2025-26 in a bottom-six role.

Beecher was held off the scoresheet for the 13th straight game in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Beecher has added nine shots on net, 14 hits, 13 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating during his point drought. The Bruins play just twice more in 2024-25, and while Beecher should be able to stay in the lineup, he's failed to put together a positive finish to the year. He's at 11 points, 44 shots on net, 85 hits, 71 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating over 78 appearances in a bottom-six role, so he still has some on-ice appeal to the Bruins as a defensive forward.

Beecher provided an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Lightning.
EDGE Analysis
Beecher ended a 17-game point drought that started Jan. 20 when he set up Nikita Zadorov's empty-net tally Saturday. The 23-year-old Beecher has maintained a regular role on the fourth line despite the lack of offense. He's up to 10 points in 63 appearances this season, matching his point total from 52 games as a rookie last year. Beecher also has 35 shots on net, 69 hits, 57 blocked shots, 20 PIM and a minus-5 rating in 2024-25.

Beecher's point drought reached 13 games in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
During that stretch, Beecher has seven shots on net, eight PIM, a minus-6 rating, 10 hits and 11 blocked shots. He's filling a bottom-six role, so the lack of offense isn't a total surprise, but he can do better than he has lately. Overall, Beecher is at nine points, 34 shots on net, 64 hits, 51 blocks and a minus-7 rating through 58 appearances.

Beecher scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Saturday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
Beecher ended his 11-game point drought with the tally. This was his first goal since Oct. 16 versus the Avalanche. Beecher had an excellent start to the season with six points over 11 outings in October, but he has followed it up with just three points over his last 34 appearances. The 23-year-old forward has added 54 hits, 40 blocked shots, 27 shots on net and a minus-1 rating while filling a fourth-line role.

Beecher logged an assist, two shots on goal and one block in 11:23 of ice time in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to Edmonton.
EDGE Analysis
Beecher recorded the primary assist on Mark Kastelic's fourth goal of the season in the opening stanza. The helper snapped a seven-game point drought for Beecher, but he hasn't found the back of the net since Oct. 16. The 23-year-old has chipped in two goals, six helpers and a plus-3 rating through 33 contests this season. Beecher won't offer much fantasy value outside of deeper leagues that offer non-scoring production.

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