"It's kind of one of those things you grow up watching, the NHL playoffs, and how intense it is, the physicality, the details. I'm just excited. It's going to be tough, but something I am looking to embrace out there."
The young forward will be on the fourth line tonight with Jesper Boqvist and Pat Maroon, while Boqvist will center the line, Beecher may end up taking a few defensive end faceoffs.
