Coyotes' Keller named Rookie of the Month for March

Clayton Keller is getting a little more recognition.

The Arizona Coyotes freshman has been named the NHL's Rookie of the Month for March after he posted six goals and 13 assists across 17 contests.

Keller's excellent month also included a 10-game point streak, which marked the third-longest such streak by a rookie in franchise history, outpaced by only Teemu Selanne and Keith Tkachuk.

In 79 games this season, Keller has notched 23 goals and 40 assists, and is behind only New York Islanders forward Mathew Barzal for the top spot in rookie scoring.

Arizona selected Keller with the seventh pick in the 2016 draft.

It's the second such accolade for the forward this season, who was also October's Rookie of the Month after he netted 15 points in 13 appearances.
