Utah Hockey Club forward Logan Cooley is preparing to beat his rookie season point totals in his sophomore season
After an impressive rookie season with the Arizona Coyotes, Logan Cooley is poised for an even more spectacular sophomore season with the Utah HC.
In his debut season, Cooley appeared in all 82 games, scoring 20 goals and adding 24 assists for 44 points.
Now, at 20 years old, he is eager to surpass his point totals from his rookie season in his sophomore year.
After a full season in the NHL, Cooley has demonstrated his talent and potential to compete at the highest level with the game's best players.
He is expected to have a significant role this season, possibly alongside Utah HC's top forward, Clayton Keller, which will likely increase his point totals from last season.
Cooley, Keller, and either Nick Schmaltz or Lawson Crouse could form the team's top-line trio at the start of the season. However, as the season goes on, the likelihood of Josh Doan moving to the top line as a winger could enhance the team's success.
With his impressive performance in the previous season, Cooley is under more pressure to continue to excel and help lead the Utah HC to the playoffs.
My prediction for Cooley's stat line this season is 25 goals and 40 assists for 66 points, ranking him second on the team, just behind his potential linemate, Keller.
