SALT LAKE CITY – On Tuesday, the NHL Network continued their preseason position rankings by releasing their top 20 list of the league’s best wings.

Named amongst the NHL’s top wings was Utah Hockey Club’s Clayton Keller, the first player from the franchise to grace one of these prestigious lists this season.

A Top 20 NHL Wing

Coming in at No. 17, Keller led the Arizona Coyotes in goals, assists and points last year. He also was first in power-play points (30), shots on goal (228) and tied for first in game-winning goals (4) on the team. For his efforts, Keller was named to his fourth NHL All-Star Game.

To be named among the league’s 20 best at any position is significant. As a winger, Keller plays a critical role in offensive production. Occupying the left and right sides of the ice, he is responsible for scoring goals, moving the puck to create opportunities and contributing on offense and defense.

With hundreds of wings in the NHL, Keller is truly one of the best and will spearhead Utah’s pursuit of a playoff spot this season.

Other notable wings from the list include Nashville’s Filip Forsberg and Steven Stamkos, Toronto’s Mitch Marner and William Nylander, Boston’s David Pastrnak and Colorado’s Mikko Rantanen.
