WINNIPEG – Youth continues to invade the NHL with every team using at least one rookie this season, and the Coyotes have been at the forefront of the movement.
On the brink of Saturday’s four-game road trip finale against the Jets, the six rookies who have dressed this season for the Coyotes have chipped in 19 goals and 37 points – tops in the league entering action Friday.
Wingers Max Domi and Anthony Duclair are responsible for the bulk of the scoring. Actually, their combined 28 points is more than the production all other teams in the NHL are receiving from their first-year players other than the Blackhawks.
