As the third overall pick by the Coyotes in the 2015 NHL Draft, Strome leads all rookies by averaging 1.06 points per game.
He has 22 goals and 28 assists in 47 games for the first-place Roadrunners.
This was Strome’s first season in Tucson after spending the majority of the last three years with the Erie Otters of the Ontario Hockey League.
The Roadrunners are 38-19-5 and have already clinched a berth to the AHL playoffs with five games remaining in the regular season.
