The Dallas Stars selected Nicholas Porco at 142nd overall during the fifth round of the 2019 NHL draft. The six-foot left winger comes from Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario and currently plays for the Saginaw Spirit in the OHL.
Porco played in 67 games for Saginaw last season. During that time, he picked up 20 goals and 16 assists for a total of 36 points. His penalty minutes were a bit higher than average (20), but still reasonable. Porco was a solid contributor in Saginaw’s postseason campaign, as he posted seven points (three goals, four assists) through 16 games.
