Even Islanders coach Barry Trotz kept up with Anthony Beauvillier’s romantic pursuit.
After Beauvillier shot his shot with actress Anna Kendrick at the end of December, writing ‘Hi @AnnaKendrick47’ on Twitter, the Isles left winger suddenly had thousands of wingmen. Teammates and fans hyped Beauvillier up to the “Pitch Perfect” actress until she finally responded a few days later, saying, ‘These replies have been my entertainment for the last two days. Thank you all for regaling me with the true tales of this man’s heroism.”
Beauvillier said that general manager Lou Lamoriello never said anything to him about the bold move, according to Sportsnet.
