Rory Kerins has scored 18 goals in 28 games for the Calgary Wranglers this fall .

The 22-year-old centre is currently second in the AHL 's goal-scoring race and is third in points.

Kerins is on pace to more than double his haul from the 2023-24 campaign.

Rory Kerins was assigned to the Calgary Wranglers in late September without being tapped for a single exhibition appearance.

Kerins has buried 13 of his goals at even-strength and five on the man-advantage, and three of his tallies turned out to be game-winners.

Flames head coach Craig Conroy says Kerins deserves all the credit for his fitness gains.

Rory Kerins has thrived in a top-line role for the Wranglers in the AHL 's Pacific Division .

Vegas Golden Knights general manager Kelly McCrimmon and Vancouver Canucks alternate captain J.T. Miller both deserve an assist in Kerins ’ sudden surge.

The up-and-comer from Caledon , Ont ., always has been a clever puck-handler, a creative playmaker and a dangerous shooter.

Kerins racked up 118 points in his final major-junior campaign with the OHL 's Soo Greyhounds .
