GLENDALE, Ariz. — Predicting a statistical output for Coyotes sophomores Anthony Duclair and Max Domi is nearly impossible. Their production will depend on a host of variables including health, linemates, team success and the rising and falling fortunes of teams around the league.

Those factors notwithstanding, it is fair to say the Coyotes will be relying on their young guns, Domi and Duclair, for more in 2016-17.

“There was a lot of times last year where young players make a lot of mistakes,” coach Dave Tippett said by phone on Thursday from the World Cup of Hockey where he helped coach the young guns of Team North America to a 2-1 record. “As the season went on, you learn and those experiences help you and now they’ve got a full year under their belt. Now they should show up and expect to win, expect to do things right and expect to be good players.”

Domi shrugged off all talk about individual accomplishments on Thursday from Coyotes media day, calling it “irrelevant.”

“It’s tough to talk about yourself when it’s a team game,” he said. “As a whole, our team is just looking to try to make the playoffs this year. You just want to do your job; try to be as much of a contributor as possible.”

Duclair was a bit more introspective when examining the leap he needs to make.

“Last year, my mindset was just to make the team and stay in the lineup. This year, now that I have made it, I want to be more consistent,” he said, pointing to last season. “Sometimes, being an offensive player, I wouldn’t get a shot on goal. That’s something I need to improve is getting more shots, creating more chances.”

As Tippett noted, Duclair has experienced the grind of the 82-game season so he has a better idea what to expect in his second go-round.

“It’s not every game you’re going to feel 100 percent,” Duclair said. “Just giving your team a chance to win the game is obviously key. I’m getting quite a bit of ice time. I need to make sure I’m on top of my game every night. I want to be a two-way player and make sure I’m not a liability defensively.”

Last season, Domi finished second on the team with 52 points and fourth in goals with 18. Duclair was fourth on the team in points at 44, and third in goals with 20. Domi finished third among NHL rookies in points, behind Calder Trophy winner Artemi Panarin of Chicago (77) and Buffalo’s Jack Eichel (56). Duclair was seventh. Domi (16:22) and Duclair (14:22) logged the lowest average ice time of the top eight rookies in scoring, but that could change this season.

“They had big roles last year,” Tippett said. “They’ll still have key roles on our team but I expect them to continue to grow in their mindset of the game.”

General manager John Chayka said that with more young players being infused into the lineup, the responsibilities on Domi and Duclair will increase.

“They had great years, especially great statistical years,” Chayka said. “There has been that sophomore slump that has come up in the past, but I just expect them to do what they did last year and continue to grow off the ice as well, kind of take more of a leadership role, hopefully.

“It’s becoming partly their team. They’re going to be expected to be guys who, night in and night out, have that consistent effort. I expect them to have big years for us.”
