Phil Kessel is having a decent bounce-back year in AZ, with eight goals and 17 points in 26 games, but his underlying numbers have been disastrous both offensively and defensively.
Conor Garland is emerging as a true star in the desert. 22 points in 25 games and playing some dominant hockey. Clayton Keller is having a good year, too — 21 points in 26 games. Christian Dvorak and Nick Schmaltz have been a formidable one-two punch at centre.
More than anything, though, Jakob Chychrun is speeding by Ekman-Larsson as the Coyotes' number-one defenseman. 19 points in 26 games while leading the team with 22:58 a night and posting a 51.58 xGF%.
