BUFFALO, N.Y. – Clayton Keller had two assists to set the Arizona Coyotes’ franchise record for most points by a rookie in a 4-1 victory over the Buffalo Sabres on Wednesday night in a matchup of the NHL’s two worst teams.
Rookie Dylan Strome scored in his first game after being called up from the minors. Derek Stepan had a goal and assist, and Richard Panik and Max Domi, with an empty-netter, also scored. Antti Raanta stopped 29 shots to improve to 12-4-4 in his past 20 starts.
Keller, Arizona’s 2016 first-round draft pick, extended his points streak to six games, in which he has two goals and five assists.
