Canadiens Prospect Is Showing Early Promise This Season

The Montreal Canadiens have many promising young players, both on their NHL roster and in their prospect pool.

Among them is forward Owen Beck. The 22-year-old has the potential to be a solid NHL forward, and he has been showing that early on this season for Montreal.

Beck has been demonstrating plenty of promise as of late for the Canadiens. He has a goal and two assists over his last four games for the Canadiens, which is a nice step in the right direction. This is especially so when noting that he recorded a point in three straight appearances from Oct. 23 to Nov. 3, before Montreal's last game. 

Seeing Beck starting to produce some offense for Montreal is definitely encouraging. The young center is already known for his smart defensive play and faceoff ability, but it would great to see him continue to tap into his offensive potential more in the process for Montreal. 

Ultimately, whether Beck stays on the Canadiens' NHL roster or is sent back down to the AHL's Laval Rocket once Montreal is fully healthy, he is a big player to watch as this campaign rolls on. It should only be a matter of time before he cements himself as a full-time NHL player, as he is showing clear signs of improvement this campaign.
