Details

In 1970-71, Dave Keon was a NHL Second Team All-Star for the second and last time over his career. He put up career highs of 38 goals and 76 points in his second year as Toronto’s team captain after taking over the role from George Armstrong. The goal total placed him in a sixth place tie with Gilbert Perreault while finishing in a three way tie for ninth place in the race for the Art Ross Trophy with Fred Stanfield and Jean Beliveau.

Three of his 38 goals that year came in a game against the Los Angeles Kings at Maple Leaf Gardens. It was an interesting hat trick with the first two scored shorthanded. Jack Norris took it all in the L.A. nets, facing 32 shots in the 7-0 loss. Jacques Plante didn’t exactly have as easy a night as the score would suggest. The veteran had to stand tall for 35 saves to record the shutout.

Keon’s numbers dropped off dramatically in 1971-72, scoring just 18 and assisting on 30. However, the following year, he was back on track with 37 goals, his third and final time surpassing the 30 goal plateau. Over his NHL career, he would top 20 goals eleven times.

Between 1960-61 and 1981-82, Dave Keon played 1,296 regular season and 92 playoff games in the National Hockey League with the Toronto Maple Leafs and Hartford Whalers. He also played 301 regular season and 36 playoff games in the WHA between 1975-76 and 1978-79 with the Minnesota Fighting Saints, Indianapolis Racers and New England Whalers. Dave was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1986.
