The roster move shifts Beck from the American Hockey League’s Laval Rocket up to the parent club in Montréal. Early in the 2026-27 AHL campaign, Beck appeared in 4 games for Laval, recording 1 assist and 2 penalty minutes with a plus-minus rating of 1. That brief stint follows a heavy workload in the AHL during the 2025-26 season, where he skated in 58 regular-season games and produced 13 goals and 20 assists for 33 points alongside 28 penalty minutes.

Beck also gained extensive playoff experience with Laval last spring. In 5 postseason contests during the 2025-26 AHL playoffs, he added 3 goals and 2 assists for 5 points. His professional resume includes 15 NHL appearances with Montréal during the 2025-26 campaign, during which he scored 1 goal and accumulated 6 penalty minutes.

Before establishing himself in the professional ranks, Beck built a strong junior record across the Ontario Hockey League. During the 2023-24 OHL season, he split time between the Peterborough Petes and the Saginaw Spirit. With Peterborough, he notched 16 goals and 14 assists in 25 games. After moving to Saginaw, he added 18 goals and 33 assists across 32 regular-season games, followed by a dominant playoff run featuring 4 goals and 10 assists in 17 games.

International competition has also marked Beck’s development. He represented Canada at the World Junior Championship, playing in 5 games for Canada U20 “A” during the 2023-24 tournament and scoring 1 goal. Earlier, during the 2022-23 season, he skated in 3 games for Canada U20 at the same event after starting the year with the Mississauga Steelheads and later joining the Peterborough Petes, where he logged a single NHL regular-season appearance for Montréal.

How long this assignment lasts and what role he assumes in the immediate lineup remain unannounced by team management.
