It was announced earlier today that the Boston Bruins and University of Minnesota hockey standout Jaxon Nelson have come to a contract agreement.
The #NHLBruins� have signed forward Jaxon Nelson to a one-year, entry-level contract.
Nelson is a 6'4», 220 lbs forward who is coming off a career year posting 19 goals, 12 assists, and 31 points in 39 games. He closed out his season on a torrid scoring pace netting 11 goals and 13 points in his final 10 NCAA games.
