This Devils prospect is heating up significantly with the Comets.
During this past off-season, the New Jersey Devils acquired forward Adam Beckman from the Minnesota Wild in exchange for forward Graeme Clarke.
This may have been a minor summer move for the Devils, but Beckman is proving to be an impactful addition to the Utica Comets' roster. In 15 games this season with the AHL squad, he has four goals and 14 points.
Beckman is not showing any signs of slowing down, either. Over his last seven games, the 6-foot-1 forward has two goals and eight points.
During this past season with the Wild's AHL affiliate, the Iowa Wild, Beckman had 19 goals, 14 assists, and 33 points in 51 games. Thus, at this juncture of the campaign, the 2019 third-round pick is producing at a higher rate when it comes to assists and points.
It will be interesting to see how well Beckman builds on his hot start to the season from here. If he continues to play this well, perhaps it could open the door for him to get a call-up to the Devils' roster at some point soon. He last played at the NHL level in 2023-24, where he had two assists in 11 games with the Wild.
