The 21-year old led the Coyotes in scoring last season with 47 points (14 goals, 33 assists) and made the 2019 All-Star Game. In the previous season, he scored 67 points (23 goals, 44 assists) as a rookie. His impressive rookie season brought optimism to a young Coyote’s team.
Looking forward to the 2019-20 season
“I think what makes him special is he’s just able to make others better.”

The Coyotes finished with a 39-35-8 record last season. They were one playoff spot away from making it to the Stanley Cup Playoffs. The addition of Phil Kessel, Carl Soderberg and Keller’s extensions this offseason shows the Coyote’s ambition to make it to the playoffs this season. This offseason has been one of the biggest in franchise history. These high profile offseason transactions can help end Arizona’s seven-year playoff drought.
