There weren’t any New England natives taken in the first round of the 2026 NHL Draft. But six went on Day 2 from Rounds 2-7.
U.S. National Team Development forward and Boston College commit Casey Mutryn (Norwell, Mass.) was picked with the 38th pick (Round 2) by the Seattle Kraken.
Towards the end of the third round, Moncton Wildcats forward and Boston University commit Rian Chudzinski (Needham, Mass.) was taken off the board by the Anaheim Ducks with the 82nd pick.
The Montreal Canadiens took Dartmouth defenseman Cooper Cleaves (Riverside, Conn.) a few picks later with the 93rd selection.
