The 2023 Columbus draft pick came to North America this summer and is playing for the Youngstown Phantoms of the USHL. He is 3-2 with a .910 save% so far this season.
With the commitment to MSU, Columbus fans should have 3 to 4 years to see young Strahl play, as Ohio State and Michigan State usually play a two-game home-and-away series each year.
CBJ draft pick William Whitelaw also plays in the Big Ten for Michigan. The Jackets have six players playing college hockey this year.
What is NexT – Columbus is back home on Tuesday and will host the Toronto Maple Leafs.
