David Matthew Warsofsky (born May 30, 1990) is an American professional ice hockey defenseman. He is currently under contract with the Pittsburgh Penguins of the National Hockey League (NHL).
He is Jewish, and was born in Marshfield, Massachusetts, the son of Dawn and Mark Warsofsky.
He played at Marshfield High School in 2004–05 and at Cushing Academy in Ashburnham, Massachusetts for the following two years. He was captain of the 2007–08 Under-18 United States men's national ice hockey team, where he tied as leader in assists and was second in points. The team won a bronze medal at the 2008 IIHF World U18 Championship.
He was selected by the St. Louis Blues in the 4th round (95th overall) of the 2008 NHL Entry Draft. Instead of turning pro immediately, Warsofsky played for Boston University in the Hockey East and was a member of the 2009 national championship team as a freshman. He played for Team USA in 2010, winning the 2010 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships.
On June 26, 2010 the Blues traded Warsofsky's rights to the Boston Bruins in exchange for Vladimir Sobotka.
During the 2013–14 season, Warsofsky made his NHL debut with the Boston Bruins on December 19, 2013, after toiling for 160 games in the American Hockey League. He is the first Bruin to wear the number 79.
