The Ottawa Senators have signed 18-year-old goalie Lucas Beckman to a three-year, entry-level contract. Beckman recently led the Chicoutimi Saguenéens to success in the Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League playoffs, including a perfect record and two shutouts. He was selected 97th overall in the 2025 NHL Draft and aims to excel in the QMJHL, looking to improve upon his impressive season statistics.

By the Numbers
  • Beckman recorded a 13-1-0 record with a .940 save percentage in his last season.
  • He allowed only one goal in Chicoutimi’s four playoff wins against Halifax and had two shutouts against Quebec.
State of Play
  • Beckman is preparing for the QMJHL semifinal against the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies.
  • The Senators' AHL affiliate, Belleville, has a competitive goalie lineup, making Beckman's future there uncertain.
What's Next

Beckman will most likely continue in junior hockey for the upcoming season as he develops his skills further before potentially moving to the AHL or NHL.

Bottom Line

Lucas Beckman's signing is a strategic move for the Senators, reflecting their commitment to strengthening their goalie prospects. His performance in upcoming playoffs will be crucial for his development and future opportunities within the organization.
