As expected, Nathan Beaulieu has been returned to Hamilton for the Olympic break. During his callup, Beaulieu showed flashes of his puck-moving ability and offensive potential but also displayed his inability to read situations in the defensive zone. Playing significant minutes in Hamilton will not only help the Bulldogs but allow Beaulieu to develop at the slower pace of the AHL to earn his next callup.
