Clayton Keller showed his strengths at both ends of the ice on Nov. 7, 2023, against the Seattle Kraken, notably making a skilled defensive play in the first period before later netting a tying goal to help rally his club to victory. As the puck was on the verge of slipping into the Coyotes net in the opening frame, Keller extended the toe of his stick to retrieve it and prevent a go-ahead goal for the Kraken. He later tied the game at 3-3 and secured “First Star of the Game” honors for his efforts.
