Beech, 24 (2/5/81), leads Milwaukee in scoring with 22 points (9g-13a) in 22 games. The 6-2, 208-pound center was acquired by Nashville from Pittsburgh for a conditional Entry Draft selection on September 9, 2005.
The former first-round pick (seventh overall in 1999) posted 10 goals and 17 assists (10g-17a-27pts) in 99 NHL games with Washington and Pittsburgh from 2000-2004.
Finley, 24 (7/3/81), was recently named the Koho/AHL Goaltender of the Month for November 2005 after going 5-0-0 with three shutouts, a 1.16 goals-against average and a .962 save percentage in six appearances. For the season, the 6-3, 201-pound Sault Ste. Marie native has notched a 6-1-0 record in nine games, ranks third in the AHL with a 1.99 GAA and ranks fourth in the league with a .929 save percentage. He was originally Nashville's first-round pick, sixth overall, in the 1999 NHL Entry Draft.
Robinson is 5-5 with a 2.83 goals against average and a .909 save percentage for the IceHogs. The Montreal, PQ native played one game for the Admirals last season, winning a 4-3 decision over St. John's on February 1.
