Toronto Maple Leafs Have Found a 4th Round Gem

Drafted by the Toronto Maple Leafs in the 4th round (124th overall) in the 2019 NHL Draft, forward Nicholas Abruzzese has been dominating the NCAA this season and has earned himself a spot on Team USA for the 2022 Beijing Olympics.

In the first week of January, the Toronto Maple Leafs prospect tallied three points in three consecutive games totaling nine points in three games earning him ECAC Player of the Week.

Abruzzese is captain of the Harvard Crimson this season and leads the team with 21 points in 13 games. Harvard has only played 13 games this season where some teams have played 25, but Nicholas Abruzzese is leading the entire NCAA in points per game so far this season.
