Sure, there weren't any New Englanders picked in the first round. But it didn't take long for the first one to go on Day 2.
Just six picks into Round 2, the Philadelphia Flyers picked U.S. National Team Development Program defenseman and Boston University commit Carter Amico (Westbrook, Maine) with the 38th pick.
Amico was the first of five New Englanders drafted, along with one other New England prep player taken.
With the 95th pick, former St. Sebastian's forward and Norwell, Mass., native Teddy Mutryn was selected by the San Jose Sharks. Mutryn spent the past winter with the USHL's Chicago Steel, scoring 17 goals and finishing with 30 points in 47 games. He also spent time with the NTDP's U18 team. He's committed to Boston College.

Caeden Herrington, in his second year of NHL Draft eligibility, was picked in the fourth round with the 120th pick by the Los Angeles Kings. Herrington, a native of Manchester, Vt., had 16 goals from the blue line for the USHL's Lincoln Stars this season. He was a standout at Holderness the previous two seasons.
In the fifth round, the Tampa Bay Lightning snagged defenseman Everett Baldwin (Providence, R.I.) with the 151st pick. Baldwin had 10 goals and 20 points in 22 games for St. George's this winter, and spent time with the NTDP's U18 team and the USHL's Cedar Rapids RoughRiders.
He's the highest pick out of prep school since 2022.
Richard Gallant (Concord, Mass.) rounded out the locals drafted when the San Jose Sharks used their seventh-round pick (No. 210) on him. He led the NTDP's U18 team in goals (29) and was tied for third in points with 53. Before going to the NTDP, he stood out at St. Mark's.
