With the 12th overall selection in the first round of the 2019 NHL Entry Draft, the Minnesota Wild have selected left wing Matthew Boldy from the United States National Team Development Program.
A native of Millis, Massachusetts, the 18-year-old Boldy was projected in the top-ten by many rankings after tallying 17 goals and 26 assists in 28 games with the USNTDP Juniors team in the USHL. He added 33 goals and 48 assists in 64 games while serving as an alternate captain for the United States National Under-18 Team.
The 6-foot-2, 192-pound winger is committed to Boston University next season.
