Adam Beckman will make his season debut for the Wild tonight against the Arizona Coyotes.
Adam Beckman was recently recalled by the Wild after they placed Marcus Johansson on the Injured Reserve list. Now Beckman will make his season debut tonight against the Arizona Coyotes.
After Johansson was placed on the IR and now with Brandon Duhaime being traded to the Colorado Avalanche, a spot has opened for Beckman to enter the lineup. He is expected to play left wing on a line with Connor Dewar and Freddy Gaudreau.
Beckman, 22, has been recalled a couple of times from the AHL this season but has yet to play for the Wild. He has 16 goals and 29 points in 48 games for the Iowa Wild this year but has seven goals and ten points in his last ten games for Iowa.
This will be a group opportunity for Beckman tonight to showcase his skills at the NHL level.
