The Minnesota Wild bolstered their defensive depth over the weekend with four of the team’s seven selections in the NHL Entry Draft being blueliners.
The haul consisted of first-rounder Carson Lambos (26th overall), Grand Rapids-native Jack Peart in the second round (54th) and Kyle Masters (118th) and Nate Benoit (182nd) in the fourth and sixth round, respectively.
“It’s just really special,” Peart said in a NHL Network interview on Saturday.
