Coleman on track to surpass last year's numbers

Blake Coleman is having quite a year in his second full season in New Jersey. At the end of the 2017-18 regular-season, Coleman finished the year with 25 points, recording 13 goals and 12 assists. He netted his 13th goal last season in 75 games-played, but this year, he's hit that mark in just 42 games and has eight assists so far on the season.

At this point last season, Coleman had five goals and 10 assists. The Plano, Texas native recorded a team-high three shorthanded goals during the 2017-18 campaign, and already has two so far this season.

Coleman recorded a career-high shots on net in one game when he had eight on January 4 in the Devils 3-2 victory against the Coyotes in Arizona.
