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.

After missing the last four games due to injury, Beecher will report to AHL Providence if he clears waivers to resume playing. He has earned one goal, six shots on net, four blocked shots and seven hits in six appearances with Boston this season.

Canadiens GM Kent Hughes needs a center. After missing on David Kampf, Boston's John Beecher is on waivers. We analyze if the former 1st rounder fits.
