The Rangers have acquired forward Taylor Beck from the Edmonton Oilers in return for forward Justin Fontaine, as first reported by Sportnet’s Elliotte Friedman and confirmed by the Rangers.
Beck, 25, has 23 points in 93 career NHL games. He has bounced around the league the last few years and has struggled to prove his worth as a full-time NHLer. However, he is a dynamic player by AHL standards, with 50 points in 40 games this season. The Wolf Pack have severely lacked offensive firepower this season, and it’s rubbed off in a bad way on some of their forward prospects.
