Coghlan had his first taste of NHL action this past season with Vegas. In 29 games with the club, he scored three goals and recorded six points. All three of his goals came in the same game against the Minnesota Wild, as he had a hat trick.

During the two previous seasons, he played in the AHL with the Chicago Wolves. In 126 total games, he had 26 goals and 64 points. That's solid production from a defenseman, so one has to wonder how much of it can translate to the NHL level.

Coghlan will be fighting for a permanent spot in Vegas' top-six this season. He has the potential to be a good defenseman in this league. Here's to hoping he receives more chances this go-around.
