During his NHL career, Anthony Beauvillier has generally been a dependable scoring option. His career-high is 22 goals, and last season when he split time between the Canucks and Islanders, he contributed 18.
He was not nearly as prolific this season in Vancouver, scoring twice in 22 games before the Blackhawks got him on Nov. 28 for a conditional fifth-round pick to help fill the void left by Corey Perry. Regardless of how it came about, the Hawks present an opportunity for Beauvillier that didn’t exist in Vancouver, where the Canucks have a deep and talented corps of forwards that includes former Hawk Sam Lafferty.
