3 months agoUtah Hockey Club winger Clayton Keller (illness) will be a game-time decision for Thursday's action against Calgary. Per Belle Fraser of The Salt Lake Tribune, Utah head coach Andre Tourigny has stated that Keller's status for the game, along with that of some other players, is "up in the air." Utah's star forward missed Tuesday's tilt against Edmonton due to illness. Keller had a big month in December with 15 points and has provided consistent production for fantasy managers throughout the campaign. He leads his team in scoring with 37 points (13 goals, 24 assists) through 36 appearances. Matias Maccelli will likely have an expanded role on Thursday if Keller remains out.

4 months agoUtah Hockey Club right wing Clayton Keller tallied two goals and two assists during their shootout loss to the Anaheim Ducks on Sunday evening. Keller opened the scoring with a deflection goal to give Utah an early lead. Later in the period, he would tally the secondary assist on Barrett Hayton's six goal of the season. In the opening minutes of the second frame, Keller would tally the primary assist on Logan Cooley's power-play goal. Later in the frame, Keller would score his second goal of the game, on a snap shot. This performance extended Keller's point streak to four games. During this span, he has posted three multi-point showings and tallied nine total points. Since the start of December (nine games) the 26-year-old has tallied 13 points with eight of them coming on the power-play.

1 year agoArizona Coyotes forward Clayton Keller (upper body) is expected to return on Tuesday but is still being considered a game-time decision. Keller has missed four games with an upper-body injury but appears to be ready to go as long as he gets the green light from the medical staff. The dynamic winger has racked up 52 points (22 goals, 30 assists) in 57 games this year. He has continued to produce at a high rate, even with less-than-spectacular teammates. He should re-enter fantasy lineups if he is cleared before game time.

1 year agoArizona Coyotes forward Clayton Keller will be sidelined until next week due to an upper-body injury. The American forward was injured during a 4-3 overtime loss to the Winnipeg Jets on Sunday, missed Thursday's game versus the Maple Leafs, and will also sit out Friday's contest at the Ottawa Senators. His absence looms large for a low-octane Coyotes offense as he leads the team in goals (22) and assists (30). Of course, his 52 points also pace the club. The former seventh-overall pick in 2016 recorded a career-high 37 goals and 86 points across 82 games last season. The Coyotes have dropped 14 straight games after losing in Toronto on Thursday by a 4-2 score.
