Hockey Players who Played for Knights and Coyotes
My guess is you’ve searched this page out because you’re playing the Immaculate Grid.
If I’m right, that also means that today’s grid is asking for players who have played for both the Vegas Golden Knights and the Arizona Coyotes.
And, I’m also guessing that you’re a little stuck on this particular square and you’re looking for a little help to keep your grid immaculate. Sound about right so far?
Well, good news, I’m here to help.
I’ve already done the research and have put together a list of well-known stars along with some more “under-the-radar” players that could land you a low rarity score.
Phil Kessel
Phil Kessel was selected 5th overall by the Boston Bruins in the 2006 NHL Draft. Known for his offensive prowess, Kessel quickly became one of the league’s top goal-scorers. He played three seasons with the Bruins before being traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs.
In 2015, Kessel was traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins, where he became a key part of the team’s success, winning back-to-back Stanley Cup championships in 2016 and 2017. Kessel’s speed, skill, and ability to perform in high-pressure situations were crucial to the Penguins’ playoff runs.
Kessel’s journey has made two more stops – Coyotes and Golden Knights. Everywhere he’s played, Kessel has been a consistent offensive player and is closing in on 1000 career points (992 at the time I’m writing).
