Wild recall Adam Beckman from Iowa

The Minnesota Wild are in determined want of a brand new punch offensively and on Friday morning they made the choice to recall one of many AHL’s finest quantity shooters and scorers in Adam Beckman.

Beckman was up ever so briefly earlier this season, changing some injured forwards, however since then has been scoring buckets of targets for Iowa and doing it at a reasonably sustainable fee. The 21-year-old winger is fourth in the AHL in shots on goal and has scored 18 targets in 43 video games on an 11.6 taking pictures share. This isn’t some loopy pattern or a participant on a sizzling streak — Beckman is deserving of the targets he will get as a result of he simply shoots so rattling a lot.

The winger from Saskatoon has not accomplished it on the NHL stage but — has earned one help within the 9 video games he’s performed within the final two seasons — however this Wild workforce is particularly determined for simply any semblance of somebody capable of put the puck into the again of the web. Kirill Kaprizov, Mats Zuccarello, and Joel Eriksson Ek has been solely trusted to attain nearly each objective for the Wild for the reason that calendar turned and that’s not sustainable in any respect. That is perhaps why they’re 3-7-1 of their final 10 video games.

We count on Beckman to fit in subsequent to Matt Boldy and Frederick Gaudreau, however the way in which Dean Evason has been shuffling the traces as of late, there isn’t any positive factor, solely educated guesses.

The Wild face the Dallas Stars at residence on Friday night time.
