Career

Beck began his career in 2007 with the Guelph Storm in the Ontario Hockey League before he was selected in the third round of the 2009 NHL Entry Draft in 70th position by the Nashville Predators . On August 25, 2010, he then signed a three-year entry contract with the Predators, but was also allowed to play for their farm team , the Milwaukee Admirals . From the 2010/11 season he played for the Admirals in the American Hockey League .

During the 2012/13 season shortened by the lockout , Beck was appointed to the Predators squad for the first time and made his National Hockey League debut on March 19, 2013 in a 3: 4 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets . In his third game just four days later, again against the Blue Jackets, Beck scored his first goal in the NHL with the 1-0 in the first period and contributed an assist to 3-1 in the same third. He was voted the game's first star after the game. In total, he scored three goals and four assists in 16 games with the Predators.

Beck was also in the NHL squad at the beginning of the 2013/14 season , but was transferred back to the Admirals in November. It was not until the 2014/15 season that he established himself with the Predators before he was given to the Toronto Maple Leafs in July 2015 in exchange for Jamie Devane .

Only two months later - and without having played a competitive game for the Leafs or their farm teams, as the teams were still preparing for the season - he was handed over to the New York Islanders along with Carter Verhaeghe , Tom Nilsson , Matthew Finn and Christopher Gibson . In return, Michael Grabner moved to Toronto.

In February 2016 Beck was given to the Colorado Avalanche in exchange for Marc-André Cliche . There he ended Attacker's 2015/16 season, but received no further contract, so he joined the Edmonton Oilers as a free agent in July 2016 . There came the attacker, three NHL games aside, mainly in the Bakersfield Condors in the AHL for use before the Trade Deadline on March 1, 2017, the New York Rangers was given that it is also the Hartford Wolf Pack in the AHL sent. In return, Justin Fontaine moved to Edmonton. All in all , Beck achieved by far his best personal season statistics for the Condors and Wolf Pack in the 2016/17 season and was consequently elected to the AHL First All-Star Team at the end of the season .

At the beginning of the 2016/17 season he was under contract with Awtomobilist Yekaterinburg from the Continental Hockey League , before he was handed over to Kunlun Red Star in November after mixed performances . He played there for about a year before he was given to HK Awangard Omsk in December 2018 in exchange for the KHL transfer rights to Axel Holmström . In June 2020 he finally moved to HK Metallurg Magnitogorsk .
