Beck was reassigned to AHL Laval on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Beck has one goal and 24 hits in 15 games with the Canadiens this season. The center was a healthy scratch the last two games, and at the tender age of 21, Beck needs the playing time he will get at the AHL level.

Beck scored a goal on two shots and added three hits in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
Beck had looked to have a goal a few times already, but overturned calls and scoring changes had denied him until Saturday. The 21-year-old struck at 18:49 of the first period to give the Canadiens a 2-0 lead. The goal was his first in 21 NHL appearances, eight of which have come this season. He's added eight shots on net, 15 hits, five blocked shots and a plus-3 rating this year, and he may stick in the lineup until Phillip Danault (illness) links up with the team in Boston on Tuesday.

Beck was recalled from AHL Laval on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The Canadiens had no healthy extras on the roster Tuesday versus the Lightning. Beck was one of three players recalled prior to Montreal's two-game road trip, which features stops in Pittsburgh on Thursday and Manhattan on Saturday.

Beck recorded three assists in AHL Laval's 7-2 win over Belleville on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Beck has earned both of his multi-point efforts over the last five games, totaling a goal and five assists in that span. For the year, he's at 10 points in 17 appearances. He earned a brief call-up in the NHL in October and went scoreless over two games, but the 21-year-old has plenty of time to grow his game with Laval before challenging for a full-time gig with the Canadiens.

Beck was reassigned to AHL Laval on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Beck's demotion comes as the team gears up for a four-game road trip, with Joshua Roy recalled from the minors in a corresponding move. In two NHL games this year, the 21-year-old Beck has failed to register a point while logging just one shot. While Beck should remain on the short list of potential call-ups throughout the 2025-26 campaign, he'll likely need some time in the minors to improve his offensive production.

Beck was recalled from AHL Laval on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Beck will join the Canadiens on an emergency basis ahead of Saturday's matchup against the Rangers because of injuries to Kirby Dach (lower body) and Patrik Laine (lower body). The 21-year-old Beck has one goal and one assist through three minor-league outings this campaign.

Beck was loaned to AHL Laval on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Beck has one assist in 12 games with the Canadiens this season. The 21-year-old had 13 goals and 32 points across 47 AHL games before his recall. Montreal recalled Joshua Roy from Laval in a corresponding move.

Beck was recalled from AHL Laval on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The Canadiens described Beck's demotion earlier Friday as a paper move, and that's exactly what it was. The 21-year-old has one assist and an average of 9:48 of ice time per game over 11 appearances, but he's poised to be an NHL regular for at least part of the homestretch of the campaign.

Beck was reassigned to AHL Laval on Friday in what the Canadiens described as a paper transaction.
EDGE Analysis
Beck will probably be recalled by Montreal in the near future. He has one assist and 20 hits in 11 appearances in 2024-25. Moving Beck to the AHL, even briefly, keeps him eligible for service with Laval for the remainder of the season.

Beck logged an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
The helper was Beck's first career point, which came in his ninth NHL appearance. Eight of those games have been this season, in which he's added nine shots on net and 17 hits. The 21-year-old centered the second line but saw just 11:34 of ice time Thursday, last among all Montreal forwards. Beck has plenty of potential, but the forward lines are fairly interchangeable aside from the top line for the Canadiens, so he may struggle to make an impact during this stint in the NHL. He could also head back to AHL Laval once Kirby Dach (lower body) is healthy.
