Lightning select D Alexander Green in fourth round

Tampa Bay selected its second-consecutive right-shot defenseman with its pick in the Fourth Round of the 2018 NHL Draft, taking Alexander Green from Cornell University.

Green recently completed his freshman season at Cornell, where he was plus-nine with two goals and eight assists in 29 games. Prior to entering Cornell, Green played parts of two seasons with the Lincoln Stars of the USHL, posting a goal and 14 assists in 15 games during the 2016-17 season.
The 6-foot-2, 187-pound Green won a Gold Medal with the U.S. Select team at the 2016 World Junior 'A' Challenge and was selected to the CCM/USA Hockey All American Prospects Game in 2015.
Green just recently turned 20 on June 18 and is originally from Chicago.
