Coyotes' Clayton Keller: Shakes slump with hat trick
Rotowire
Keller scored three goals in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Golden Knights.
Both of Keller's hat tricks in his career have come this season -- his other one was Dec. 11 versus the Flyers. Keller had been limited to four points and a minus-9 rating over the first 11 games in January, so this was a welcome breakout performance. The 24-year-old winger is up to 18 tallies, 41 points, 109 shots on net, 33 PIM and a minus-13 rating through 47 outings overall.
Keller scored in Arizona's 2-1 loss to Winnipeg on Sunday.
Keller's goal came at 11:02 of the second period to tie the game at 1-1. He was held off the scoresheet in his previous three games and was limited to one assist in six contests from Jan. 5-14, but perhaps Keller's performance Sunday will mark the end of his cold spell. The 24-year-old has 15 goals and 38 points in 43 games this season.
