Rory Kerins Aims for NHL Spot

Rory Kerins Aims for NHL Spot

Author: The Daily News Now! June 7, 2026 Duration: 1:29

Rory Kerins is proving he’s NHL-ready, putting up 57 points in 56 games this season while tying a team record with an 11-game point streak — and he’s not done yet. Despite a slight dip in goals, his relentless work ethic, leadership, and on-ice IQ have earned him rave reviews from teammates and coaches. A brief stint with the Flames last year showed flashes of his potential, but an injury cut short his NHL opportunity. Now an RFA, Kerins is laser-focused on improving his speed and puck handling this offseason to earn a bigger role — and he’s hoping for a split-season path that keeps him developing in the NHL while staying sharp in the AHL.
