Coleman, a native of Plano, Texas, scored two of the biggest goals of his NHL career against the Dallas Stars, the team he grew up rooting for.

The speedy forward, a third-round pick (No. 75) by the New Jersey Devils at the 2011 NHL Draft, scored his first NHL goal against the Stars on March 26, 2017. New Jersey traded Coleman to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Feb. 16, 2020, and he scored the insurance goal in the Lightning's 2-0 victory against the Stars in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final, helping Tampa Bay win its first championship since 2004. In 25 postseason games, Coleman scored 13 points (five goals, eight assists) and finished with a plus-6 rating.

After playing four seasons for Miami University, Coleman signed a two-year contract with the Devils. He began his pro career with Albany of the American Hockey League in 2015-16, and made his NHL debut with New Jersey on Jan. 12, 2017.

Coleman emerged as an important player for the Devils during the 2017-18 season, when New Jersey qualified for the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the first time since 2012. He scored 25 points (13 goals, 12 assists) in 79 games during his first NHL season. Seven of Coleman's goals came between March 6 and the end of the season, and he played a shutdown role on a line with Travis Zajac and Stefan Noesen.

2018-19 was a breakout season for Coleman, who scored 22 goals in 78 games. He followed that with 21 goals in 57 games for New Jersey in 2019-20 before being traded to the Lightning, with whom he won the Stanley Cup that season.

After winning his second straight Stanley Cup championship with Tampa Bay, Coleman signed a six-year, $29.4 million contract ($4.9 million average annual value) with the Calgary Flames on July 28, 2021.
