Going into the 2016–17 season, Strome was one of five rookies to make the Coyotes' opening-night roster. [1] He recorded a point in his NHL debut, assisting on Tobias Rieder's goal in a 7-4 loss to the Ottawa Senators on October 18, 2016. [2] It was the only point he recorded in seven games. On November 20, the Coyotes returned Strome to the Otters for the remainder of teh OHL season. [3] There, he was reunited with Alex DeBrincat and Taylor Raddysh, both of whom were also returned by their respective NHL teams. [4]
Strome was once again named to the Coyotes' opening-night roster for the 2017–18 season as a tentative third-line centre. [5] On October 9, only two games into the NHL season, he was reassigned to the Tucson Roadrunners, the Coyotes' American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate. [6]
Strome began the 2018–19 season on the Coyotes' fourth line, centering Lawson Crouse and Mario Kempe. [7] He scored the Coyotes' first goal of the season in a 3–2 win over the Anaheim Ducks, which came after two shutout losses. [8] After both Christian Dvorak and Alex Galchenyuk suffered early-season injuries, Strome was promoted to the second line. [9] In 20 games with the Coyotes that season, Strome recorded three goals and six points, and he had a –9 rating. [10] [11] In 47 career games with Arizona, Strome scored seven goals and recorded 16 points. [12]
On November 26, 2018, the Coyotes traded Strome and forward Brendan Perlini to the Chicago Blackhawks in exchange for Nick Schmaltz. [10]
On July 14, 2022, the Washington Capitals signed Strome to a one-year, $3.5 million contract for the 2022–23 season. [13] This signing provided a career resurgence for Strome, who joined Alexander Ovechkin and Conor Sheary on the Capitals' top line. His 22 points in 30 games by December 13 were second on the team, tied with Evgeny Kuznetsov. [14]
