Though Jesse Puljujarvi has been given the opportunity to redeem himself, another suitor is waiting for his chance: Taylor Beck.
The 25-year-old forward is the AHL’s leading point scorer with nine goals and 21 assists. A big, physical player, Beck can play on either wing and provides great offensive push and grit. However, he does need to work on improving his two-way game, and adding consistency to his NHL game.
Through three games with the big club, Beck has yet to score a point and is a minus-1. However, he does provide some stability on the bottom-six and knows how to start the rush.
