Keller stretchered off vs. Sharks after crashing into end boards
Arizona Coyotes star Clayton Keller was stretchered off the ice during Wednesday's contest against the San Jose Sharks.
Keller crashed into the end boards after trying to skate past Sharks blue-liner Nicolas Meloche in the offensive zone.
#Yotes Keller goes into the boards hard trying to avoid a #SJSharks Meloche stick check. Looks like he awkwardly toe picks on the ice then falls down.
