The Montreal Canadiens selected forward Owen Beck 33rd overall Friday to begin the second round of the 2022 NHL Draft.
Beck is a 6-foot-1 center who recorded 51 points in 68 games in his first season with the OHL's Mississauga Steelheads in 2021-22. He added six points in 10 playoff contests.
The Canadiens have been one of the league's busiest teams at the draft. They selected Juraj Slafkovsky first overall Thursday, then used their second first-rounder on Filip Mesar. Rookie general manager Kent Hughes also swung a deal to acquire Kirby Dach from the Chicago Blackhawks.
Montreal has one more pick in the second round followed by eight selections across Rounds 3-8.
