Top 25 Under 25: Nikita Nesterenko slots in at No. 21

Welcome to this year’s Top 25 Under 25 series. If you’re unfamiliar, we’re going player-by-player in a ranking of the top 25 Minnesota Wild players that are under the age of 25. It’s fairly simple. Enjoy!

When Nesterenko was drafted in the sixth round of the 2019 draft, expectations were far from consistent. However, even after having a solid post-draft year in the BCHL, it is highly unlikely that many predicted the noise he would make in his first year at Boston College. Jumping onto the scene with a roster packed with Wild draft picks, Nesterenko quickly earned the trust of Hall of Fame Coach Jerry York.
