In the recent Canadiens vs Coyotes matchup, two former first-round picks, Juraj Slafkovský, chosen first overall by the Canadiens, and Logan Cooley, selected third overall by the Coyotes, squared off. The Coyotes emerged victourious and decided to playfully tease the Canadiens for their decision to draft Slafkovsky over Cooley in the 2022 draft.
Logan Cooley has embarked on an impressive journey this season. Despite scoring only one goal, he has contributed with 7 assists, accumulating a total of 8 points in 10 games played. Cooley currently leads all NHL rookies in both points and assists, making a strong case for himself as a Calder Trophy contender if he maintains this level of production.
Cooley's outstanding performance is helping the Coyotes remain competitive, even after struggling in recent seasons, as they currently hold a 5-4-1 record for the year.
