Zachary Michael Sanford (born November 9, 1994) is an American professional ice hockey forward currently playing for the San Antonio Rampage in the American Hockey League (AHL) as a prospect to the St. Louis Blues of the National Hockey League (NHL).
Playing career
Sanford played collegiate hockey for the Boston College Eagles in Division I of the NCAA. He was picked in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft in the 2nd round, 61st overall by the Capitals, with the Capitals choosing to trade three other draft picks (84th, 114th and 127th) for the 61st overall pick from the Winnipeg Jets.[1]
After his sophomore season with the Eagles in 2015–16, Sanford embarked on his professional career in signing a three-year, entry-level contract with the Washington Capitals on July 11, 2016.[2]
After attending the Capitals training camp and having made an impact in the pre-season, Sanford made the Capitals opening night roster for the 2016–17 season.[3] He made his NHL debut on October 13, 2016, against the defending Stanley Cup Champion Pittsburgh Penguins and had one shot on goal. After being sent down to AHL affiliate, the Hershey Bears, he was recalled up to the NHL on February 10. He scored his first career NHL goal on February 11, 2017 against the Anaheim Ducks. Sanford added another goal and assist in 26 games with the Capitals before he was traded to the St. Louis Blues as part of a package for defenceman Kevin Shattenkirk on February 27, 2017.[4] Sanford scored his first goal as a Blue on March 16, 2017, against the San Jose Sharks in a 4-1 win.
