The second day of the 2021 NHL Draft kicked off Saturday morning and a handful of incoming NCAA college hockey players heard their names called early.<\/p>\n

Shai Buium, a defenseman who played for the USHL’s Sioux City Musketeers in 2020-21, was taken by the Detroit Red Wings with the 36th overall pick. The San Diego native is off to Denver in the fall.<\/p>\n

One pick after Buium, the Arizona Coyotes nabbed Arizona-born forward Josh Doan, son of Shane Doan, from the USHL champion Chicago Steel. The younger Doan will be a freshman this fall at Arizona State.<\/p>\n

Three picks later, the Carolina Hurricanes selected blueliner Scott Morrow, committed to UMass, out of Shattuck-St. Mary’s prep school.<\/p>\n

With the 54th overall pick, incoming St. Cloud State defenseman Jack Peart went to the Minnesota Wild. Peart spent the 2020-21 season at Grand Rapids (Minn.) High School, earning state Mr. Hockey honors.<\/p>\n

At No. 57, another Arizona native, Matthew Knies, was chosen by the Toronto Maple Leafs. Knies played last season with the USHL’s Tri-City Storm. He’ll play for Minnesota in the fall. Older brother Phil played at Miami (2017-21) and will play his fifth year in 2021-22 at Bentley.<\/p>\n

Forward Tristan Broz, a future Minnesota player, heard his name at No. 58 by the Pittsburgh Penguins after playing 2020-21 in the USHL with the Fargo Force.<\/p>\n

The second round wrapped with the Colorado Avalanche taking incoming Denver defenseman Sean Behrens with the 61st overall pick. Last season, Behrens played for USA Hockey’s NTDP.<\/p>\n
