The Anthony Beauvillier experiment was a success for the Pittsburgh Penguins [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/pittsburgh-penguins] during the 2024-25 season. They signed him to a one-year deal last July with the hopes that he would bounce back after a rough 2023-24 season, and he did exactly that, scoring 13 goals and finishing with 20 points in 63 games. He spent the rest of the season with the Washington Capitals [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/washington-capitals] after they acquired him at the trade deadline from the Penguins for a second-round pick. Beauvillier had two goals and five points in 18 regular-season games with the Capitals before finishing the playoffs with two goals and six points in 10 games. The Capitals loved what they saw and signed him [https://x.com/Capitals/status/1940917302389772377] to a two-year, $5.5 million contract. The deal will carry an average annual value of $2.75 million. That's an excellent price for Beauvillier, who figures to slot into a middle-six role and can also play in the top six should injuries arise. The Capitals are coming off a second-round playoff exit at the hands of the Carolina Hurricanes. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bookmark THN - Pittsburgh Penguins on your Google News tab [https://news.google.com/publications/CAAqBwgKMK-q0gsw7sXpAw/sections/CAQqEAgAKgcICjCvqtILMO7F6QMwquDfCA?hl=en-CA&gl=CA&ceid=CA%3Aen] to follow the latest Penguins news, roster moves, player features, and more!
