The rise of Conor Garland, edge work extraordinaire

Related Topics: Conor Garland

Conor Garland has not been a household name in the NHL. The smooth skating but relatively undersized winger was completely passed over in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft, and was only selected by the Arizona Coyotes in the 5th-round of the 2015 NHL Draft after leading the QMJHL and CHL in scoring with 129 points in 67 regular season games and 25 points in 16 playoff games for the Moncton Wildcats during the 2014-2015 season. It was a magical season for Garland as he won the award for MVP of the QMJHL and was named to the QMJHL First All-Star team, which he followed up with 128 points in 62 regular season games in the 2015-2016 season.
