New York Islanders forward Anthony Beauvillier had a breakout year in 2019-20. The young forward discusses the reasons behind his big year.
Anthony Beauvillier had been an incredibly steaky player through his first three NHL seasons with the New York Islanders. The first-round pick from 2015 would show glimpses of a 60 point top-six forward but then could go absolutely ice cold.
His 2018-19 season was perhaps the best evidence of this up-and-down play. Through his first 16 games of the season, Beauvillier registered a single point (a game-winning goal against the Philadelphia Flyers).
