Aggressiveness paying off for Coyotes rookie Clayton Keller

Clayton Keller is starting to get aggressive again, and it paid dividends for him on Thursday in Minnesota.

After the Coyotes rallied for three goals to force overtime against the Wild in St. Paul, Minn., Keller caught a crisp pass from linemate Brendan Perlini and saw his chance. He held the puck, dangled to his left, and whipped a shot that tucked into the top-right corner of the net to give Arizona a 4-3 win.

Keller, a 19-year-old rookie, said the goal was his reward for a game played with an aggressive offensive style.
