Matt Beleskey needed three shots to beat Jimmy Howard for Game 3's first goal in an eventual 3-2 overtime loss Monday night.
Howard stopped Beleskey from point-blank range on both the forehand and the backhand before the Ducks winger tracked down the rebound wide of the net and roofed a shot over Howard, who was still down on the ice at the time. It took that kind of effort to get a puck past Howard on Monday and it's a big reason why the series is now tied at 2. Dave Steckel scored Anaheim's other goal Monday, another second-chance, loose-puck goal that came with Howard down after having stopped a pair of shots. May 7 - 12:15 AM

Date:

Matt Beleskey scored a power-play goal on Thursday.

Beleskey has eight goals and 13 points in 42 games this season. He's obviously not a major contributor offensively, but he plays a physical game that should help the Ducks in the postseason.
Apr 26 - 8:39 AM

Matt Beleskey had a goal and an assist in Anaheim's 4-3 shootout win Sunday night.

Kyle Palmieri and Corey Perry each scored a goal for the Ducks. Sheldon Souray registered two assists, giving him 16 points in 38 games this season.
Apr 8 - 12:08 AM

Matt Beleskey stayed in the press box on Wednesday.

Beleskey played in Anaheim's first 31 contests, but has now been a healthy scratch in back-to-back games. Anaheim lost both of those contests, so he might get another chance on Friday.
Mar 28 - 8:07 AM

Matt Beleskey was a healthy scratch for the first time this season Monday.

Beleskey had five goals and seven points in 31 games before he was sent to the press box and his 48 penalty minutes gave him some fantasy value in traditional pools. Toni Lydman joined him as a healthy scratch.
Mar 26 - 5:46 AM

Matt Beleskey had a goal and an assist on Friday.

That snapped Beleskey's seven game scoring slump and gives him three points in 13 games this season. He shouldn't be counted on to have any fantasy value in standard leagues this season.
Feb 16 - 8:50 AM

Matt Beleskey enjoyed being a star for a spell against weak UK competition while the work stoppage went along.

Beleskey scored 12 goals and 21 assists for 33 points in 26 games. That shouldn't get anyone too excited considering who he was facing, however. His production (15 points) last season would be solid for an enforcer-type if he collected more than 72 penalty minutes. If he drops the gloves or merely takes more penalties, than he would become far more fantasy-relevant than he was in 2011-12.
Jan 9 - 11:56 PM

Matt Beleskey produced two goals and one assist in Tuesday's 5-3 victory for Coventry against Sheffield.

He found the back of the net on a penalty shot late in the second period, which ended up as the game winner, and he scored later into an empty net to close out the match. Beleskey has recorded 12 goals and 33 points in 26 games in the UK with the Elite Ice Hockey League.
Jan 1 - 3:48 PM

Matt Beleskey has eight goals and 24 points in 19 Elite Ice Hockey League games.

It's kind of hard to read much into any stats he might produce in the EIHL. Still, playing for the Coventry Blaze is helping him stave off the rust that comes with the lockout and that should help him if we end up with a shortened season.
