NHL
The Red Wings used the 13th pick in the NHL Draft last night to take 18-year-old Canadian left winger Carter Bear. Bear scored 40 goals and added 42 assists in his most recent season with the WHL’s Everett Silvertips, and is also considered a quality defender. He suffered a partially torn Achilles tendon in March, but hopes to be ready to resume playing next month.
The Islanders opened the Draft by taking defenseman Matthew Schaefer. The Sharks used the second pick on center Michael Misa, who scored 60 goals in 62 games for the OHL’s Saginaw Spirit last season.
The Draft concludes with rounds two through seven today. The Wings have eight more picks, including one in the second round, and two in the third.
