With the 131st pick in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft, the Arizona Coyotes have selected defenseman Matthew Morden.
Arizona Coyotes general manager Bill Armstrong opted to add another defenseman to his prospect pool when the team’s name was called in the fifth round, and selected Matthew Morden out of St. Andrew’s College of the CAHS.
Last season, Morden registered eight goals and 35 total points in 41 regular-season games while playing out of the Canadian high school system - producing a further two appearances, both scoreless, for the Muskegon Lumberjacks of the USHL.
