2022 NHL Draft picks: Bruins select goalie Reid Dyck in sixth round originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
The Boston Bruins entered the 2022 NHL Draft without a ton of goaltender depth in their prospect pool, and they addressed that in the sixth round Friday.
The B’s selected Swift Current Broncos (WHL) goalie Reid Dyck with the No. 183 overall pick. He posted a 6-12-1 record with a .884 save percentage and a 4.26 GAA in 23 games played for a bad Broncos team last season.

The Bruins selected just one goalie — Sweden’s Philip Svedeback (fourth round, 2021) — over the previous four drafts, so it’s not surprising to see them take one this year.
Dyck has excellent athleticism and a lot of raw talent. He also played in the CHL Top Prospects Game. His talent is absolutely worth gambling on at this stage of the draft.
