Delta’s Beck Malenstyn has a new area-code for next year’s NHL season.
During the June NHL draft, the six-foot, 200-pound winger from Delta, who is a restricted free agent, was traded from the Washington Capitals to the Buffalo Sabres. The Capitals received the 43rd pick in the draft in return.
Malenstyn was drafted in the fifth round by the Capitals in the 2016 NHL draft.
In the Capitals minor league system, we won the Calder Cup with the Hershey Bears in 2023 where he scored 10 goals and added eight assists in 60 regular season and the playoffs.
With the Capitals, he played in 105 games during four seasons scoring eight goals and 24 points.
On July 23, the Sabres avoided arbitration with Malenstyn as they signed him to a new two-year contract worth $2.7 million.
