Clayton Keller has a busy weekend ahead of him, and he's looking forward to it.
The Arizona Coyotes' leading goal scorer, some time after the Coyotes play at home Wednesday night against the Calgary Flames, is headed to Las Vegas for the 2022 NHL All-Star Game and skills competition. He'll be around some family and friends for something he's dreamed about since he was a kid shooting pucks at giant decals of former NHL goalies in his basement in suburban St. Louis.
"It's a very special game, something I don't take for granted, and it's great to be around the best players in the league and just talk with them," Keller said.
