Scary Moment As Clayton Keller Leaves Game on Stretcher After Crash Into The Boards- Out Long Term + UPDATE
23 Year old 1st round 7th overall draft pick Clayton Keller of the Arizona Coyotes is a HUGE asset to the Yotes offence and future regarding their core. Clayton Keller currently holds 63 points in 66 games this season with the dead last team in the NHL, which is quite impressive.
Kellers career high total points in a season is 65 points in 82 games, Keller already CRUSHING his goal total from his past career high year with 5 more goals, with just under 20 games remaining for the Coyotes.
Keller looks to stay hot and is predicted to demolish his career high points of 63, until tonight- Keller took a very awkward fall into the boards on the forecheck, and was in tons of discomfort. Clayton Keller seemed to be favouriting one of his legs, and unable to get up. It was a scary moment for fans, teammates and anybody watching at home. Keller was stretchered off of the ice, and was seen giving a "Ok" thumbs up to the crowd as they applauded him in thoughts of his well being.
Head coach Andre Tourigny: "We know it will be long-term but he will recover."
UPDATE:
Clayton Keller gives a thumbs up:
