Clayton Keller is heating up! After a strong performance, the Utah captain is proving why he's a key player to watch. Let's dive into the details.
In Monday's game against Los Angeles, Keller showcased his offensive prowess, scoring a goal and assisting on another, resulting in a two-point night. He also managed three shots on net.
Specifically, Keller set up Dylan Guenther's power-play goal and then found the back of the net himself during the third period. These points boost Keller's season stats to 10 goals, 18 assists, and 90 shots on net across 31 games.
Now, here's where it gets interesting: While he's not quite on track to replicate his impressive 90-point season from last year (achieved over 81 games), Keller has been on fire recently, accumulating seven points in his last five games. He seems to have found a new gear offensively.
And this is the part most people miss: Keller's consistency in generating scoring chances is remarkable. He's currently ranked among the top 20 in the league for shots on goal. If he can keep up this scoring pace, he's well on his way to his fourth consecutive season with 75 or more points.
Do you think Keller can maintain this level of performance? What are your expectations for him this season? Share your thoughts below!
