The Anaheim Ducks have signed Boston College junior forward Nikita Nesterenko to a two-year, entry-level contract through the 2023-24 NHL season.<\/p>\n

Nesterenko, who will report to Anaheim, gives up his senior season with the Eagles in signing the NHL deal.<\/p>\n

Nesterenko scored 13 goals and added 21 assists for 34 points in 36 games with Boston College this season, setting single-season career highs in points, goals and assists.<\/p>\n

A native of Brooklyn, N.Y., Nesterenko was acquired from Minnesota with Andrej Sustr and a 2025 fourth-round selection for John Klingberg on Mar. 3, 2023.<\/p>\n

In 93 career games with Boston College, Nesterenko collected 28 goals and 49 assists for 77 points with a plus-25 rating, and was the 2021 Hockey East rookie of the year.<\/p>\n

He was originally selected by Minnesota in the sixth round (172nd overall) of the 2019 NHL Draft.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
