This Bruins rookie is heading back to Providence.
Jake DeBrusk and Charlie Coyle were The Hockey News picks for the mid-season Selke Trophy.
The Boston Bruins have reassigned rookie forward Johnny Beecher to the Providence Bruins.
Beecher, 22, was recalled to the Bruins' roster earlier this month on an emergency basis. During his recall, the 2019 first-round pick appeared in four games, posting a goal and an assist. He did not play in the Bruins' most recent matchup against the Philadelphia Flyers due to illness.
While this reassignment is tough for Beecher, it is understandable when noting that the Bruins are getting healthier. As a result, the youngster will now look to impress down with the Providence Bruins in hopes of landing another recall.
Johnny Beecher Beecher has played in 43 games this season with the Bruins, where he has six goals, nine points, 95 hits, and a minus-5 rating.
