He would earn All-American honors in both 2019-20 and 2020-21 and was named a Hobey Baker Finalist in each of those seasons, as well.
Wright is poised to make his AHL debut after collecting 16 points in 16 ECHL games with Utah this season. An undrafted free agent out of the University of Denver, the 6-foot-1, 195-pound winger posted 23 goals with the Pioneers in 2021-22 and helped lead the team to the 2022 NCAA National Championship. The 24-year-old began his NCAA career by notching 51 goals and 50 assists in 144 contests at Bowling Green State University
