Coyotes' Keller named Rookie of the Month

The Arizona Coyotes' dreadful October was capped by a lone bright spot, as freshman sensation Clayton Keller was named the NHL's Rookie of the Month.

Keller recorded nine goals and six assists for the Coyotes, who rank dead last in the NHL by a wide margin with a putrid record of 1-11-1.

The 19-year-old leads all rookies with 49 shots on goal, and tallied at least one point in 10 of Arizona's 13 contests.
