Third-round pick in the 2020 NHL Draft spent the past four years playing at Boston University
ST. LOUIS -- The St. Louis Blues have agreed to terms with 2020 third-round pick Dylan Peterson on a two-year entry-level contract.
The 22-year-old forward was the 86th in the 2020 NHL Draft and has spent the past four seasons with Boston University, including playing in the 2024 Frozen Four in St. Paul, Minn. on Thursday, including a 2-1 overtime loss against Denver University; he also was in the Frozen Four last season.
Peterson, who had 60 points (26 goals, 34 assists) in 119 NCAA regular-season games the past four years, will spend the rest of the season in Springfield of the American Hockey League on an amateur tryout before his pro contract kicks in next season.
The Blues had until Aug. 15 to sign Peterson, or else he would have become an unrestricted free agent.
