Michigan State senior defenseman David Gucciardi is heading to the NHL.
Gucciardi signed a two-year entry level contract with the Washington Capitals on Monday, joining a host of Spartans to ink deals with NHL clubs across the past few days.
Gucciardi appeared in 139 games for the Spartans over four seasons. He finished his career with career 17 goals and 28 assists.
Michigan State’s season came to an erupt ending last week when the Spartans were upset by Cornell in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. The Spartans won both the Big Ten regular season and tournament championships for a second straight year, but once again failed to reach the Frozen Four.
Lots of business getting DONE on a Monday morning! Senior David Gucciardi inks a two-year ELC with the Washington Capitals!
