Washington Capitals‘ undrafted 2nd year left wing Beck Malenstyn(47) earns a 1st NHL recall and skates a pair of games recording no points but 4 shots, 2 hits, 1 takeaway and 1 shot block through 10 minutes of ice time in a pair of oddball losses.
The 6’3″ 200 lbs. forward has mostly been playing for affiliate Hershey Bears, where this season he has 3 goals and 3 assists in 18 AHL games.
He spent his entire first season in the minors getting 7 goals and 9 assists in 74 games with a 0 rating and also had decent penalty minutes with a couple of fights in the mix, so has the ability to add that dynamic to a game.
The former 2018 WHL Champion after a trade sent him from long-time team Calgary Hitmen to Swift Current Broncos is in the 2nd year of his entry level deal.
At just 21-year old, it seems like he has time to continue the development but we do wonder what role he will be looked upon to play.
