Garland has been in exceptional form for a team that has struggled to score at times this season, quickly climbing the Arizona Coyotes scoring table after just 16 games.
Garland started the season playing for the Coyotes’ AHL affiliates the Tucson Roadrunners, producing at more than a point-per-game in the minors.
In 18 regular season games, Garland has 19 points (eight goals, 11 assists), earning himself a place in the AHL All-Star Classic at the end of January.
And early impressions have shown that the 22-year-old has taken his strong form in the minors into his brief spell in the NHL.
