'A very good skater with very good size': Flames claim John Beecher off waivers from Boston Bruins
John Beecher ticks pretty much all the boxes for the Calgary Flames. At 24 years old, he fits the age profile of the players the Flames are looking to add. At 6-foot-3 and weighing in at 220 lbs., he’s got the size they love and Beecher can kill penalties and take on tough matchups, too.
Head coach Ryan Huska said at the team’s morning media availability that Beecher – claimed off waivers from the Bruins Tuesday – will play on a line at centre with recent AHL call-up Sam Morton and Adam Klapka.
Morgan Frost slipped Jonathan Huberdeau’s cross-crease pass past Colten Ellis to break a tie at 2:02 of the third and the NHL-worst Calgary Flames beat the Buffalo Sabres 6-2 on Wednesday night.
