Coyotes rookie Clayton Keller is 19 years old and has eclipsed the 50-point plateau in his first full professional season. But if you ask him, it doesn’t really matter.
For Keller, named the NHL’s Rookie of the Month in October, the scoring wall he hit in the middle of the season has started to fall. The No. 7 overall pick in 2016 has posted six points in his past seven games. Keller also posted a career-high four points on Feb. 15.
The teenager is on pace to shatter numerous Coyotes rookie scoring records.
With 13 games to go entering play Wednesday, Keller was two goals behind Anthony Duclair’s single-season goals mark with 20.
