Arizona Coyotes forward Matias Maccelli was named to the 2022-23 NHL All-Rookie team on Monday, the NHL announced.

The 5-foot 11, 276-pound Maccelli was drafted in the fourth round, 98th overall by the Coyotes in the 2019 draft.

Maccelli is the first Coyotes/Jets player to pace rookies in assists with 38, and he was placed first among the 2022-23 rookie leaders in points per game with a minimum of 10 games played (0.77).

Among rookies, Maccelli was also third in power-play assists (12), fourth in power-play points (13) and 14th in power-play goals (11).

The Professional Hockey Writers Association gave Maccelli 164 points in the voting at the conclusion of the regular season. Maccelli followed first-ranked forward Matty Beniers, who had 195 points.
