Cole Koepke - Page 3 - NHL News & Rumors

Plucks apple Sunday Koepke registered an assist in Sunday's 7-2 loss to the Kings.

Impact Koepke put up two helpers over two games this weekend, a span in which the Bruins were outscored 10-3. The 26-year-old forward continues to see time on the third line as a checking winger, but don't expect consistent offense from him while Boston's scoring is in the dumps. Koepke has put up 16 points, 71 shots on net, 153 hits and a plus-5 rating across 63 appearances in 2024-25.

Manages assist in loss Koepke notched an assist, two shots on goal and three hits in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Sharks.

Impact Koepke ended a five-game point drought with the helper. It was his first assist since Dec. 1 versus the Canadiens, though he's chipped in five goals over 37 games in that span. The 26-year-old forward is at 15 points, 71 shots on net, 152 hits and a plus-6 rating through 62 appearances in his first full NHL campaign, though he's mainly featured in a bottom-six role that leads to too little offense to help in fantasy.

Two goals against former team Koepke scored twice Saturday in a 4-0 win over the Lightning.

Impact Koepke opened the scoring when he was credited with a goal after a net-front scramble. He drove the net hard and put the puck through Andrei Vasilevskiy's pads, and Oliver Bjorkstrand tried to clear the puck out of the crease, but put it in his own net off his netminder's pad. Koepke got the Bruins' last goal on a one-timer from the right face-off circle on a two-on-one late in the third. It was a moment of revenge for the 26-year-old forward, who was drafted and developed in the Tampa Bay system. Koepke saw action in just 26 games with them over the last two seasons, scoring one goal and adding two assists.

Jeremy Swayman stopped all 26 shots he faced to lead the Boston Bruins to a 4-0 victory against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday

MARCH 8, 2025 • Associated Press

Struggling on offense Koepke was held off the scoresheet for the 14th game in a row in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Predators.

Impact Koepke hasn't registered a point in 10 games since missing five contests due to an upper-body injury in January. He's found himself an occasional scratch in the second half of the campaign, and that's likely to continue as long as he struggles on offense, though he has some short-term stability. The Bruins traded away Trent Frederic (lower body) and are also missing Brad Marchand (upper body), leaving some holes on the wings, which could grow larger if further trades come down this week.

Cole Koepke settles back in with Bruins after recovering from big hit delivered by friend and foe - The Boston Globe Koepke, who was crunched by the Lightning's Darren Raddysh earlier in the month, returned to the Bruins' lineup Tuesday in Buffalo and was b...

JANUARY 31, 2025 • BOSTONGLOBE.COM

Available against Sabres Koepke (upper body) will travel to Buffalo for Tuesday's matchup and will be an option to play, Joe Haggerty of Boston Sports Journal reports.

Impact Considering Koepke played in 44 of the Bruins' first 46 games this season, it seems very likely he'll get into the lineup ahead of Max Jones -- though Boston has won two straight games with Jones in action, so it's possible head coach Joe Sacco doesn't want to shuffle up his lines. Either way, Koepke should suit up sooner rather than later now that his upper-body injury is behind him.

JANUARY 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Could return Saturday Koepke (upper body) will be a game-time decision for Saturday's game against Colorado, Scott McLaughlin of WEEI reports.

Impact Koepke participated in Wednesday's morning skate but was sidelined for that evening's matchup against the Devils, and he remained sidelined Thursday against Ottawa. Despite missing the last four games due to his upper-body injury, he appears to be closing in on a return but will likely have to be monitored by the team's medical staff ahead of Saturday's matchup before he can get the green light. If he's unavailable against the Avalanche, it wouldn't be surprising to see him return to game action sometime next week.

JANUARY 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Participates in morning skate Koepke (upper body) participated in Wednesday's morning skate but will be unavailable for the Bruins' matchup in New Jersey, Mike Morreale of NHL.com reports.

Impact Koepke has been on injured reserve since Saturday due to an upper-body injury, but he seems to be progressing in his recovery. However, it's unclear whether he'll be in the mix to return to game action when the Bruins return home to face the Senators on Thursday.

JANUARY 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Moves to IR Koepke (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, per the NHL media site.

Impact Boston activated Mark Kastelic (upper body) from the IR list in a corresponding move. Koepke missed Saturday's 6-5 shootout loss to Ottawa and won't be eligible for Monday's matchup versus San Jose. He has seven goals, 12 points, 99 hits and 44 shots on net in 44 appearances this season.

JANUARY 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Saturday Koepke (upper body) won't be available for Saturday's game against Ottawa, Joe Haggerty of Boston Sports Journal reports.

Impact Koepke sustained an injury in the third period of Tuesday's game against the Lightning, and he wasn't on the ice for Friday's practice session. He'll be forced to miss at least one game due to his injury, and his next chance to suit up will be Monday against San Jose. Over eight appearances in January, Koepke has recorded a goal on three shots, 22 hits and two blocked shots while averaging 9:18 of ice time.

JANUARY 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Remains absent from practice Koepke was not on the ice at practice Friday, Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald reports.

Impact Koepke was injured during Tuesday's matchup with the Bolts, for which head coach Joe Sacco had no update after the game. Koepke has been excelling in a bottom-six role for Boston this year, logging 44 games for the Bruins while generating seven goals, five assists and 99 hits while averaging 10:42 of ice time. With Koepke still sidelined, Matthew Poitras is up from the minors.

JANUARY 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Hurt in Tuesday's contest Koepke (undisclosed) suffered an injury in the third period of Tuesday's game versus the Lightning, Conor Ryan of The Boston Globe reports.

Impact There was no update on Koepke's status after the game. Darren Raddysh leveled Koepke with a hit that left the Boston forward injured. If Koepke can't play Saturday against the Senators, Oliver Wahlstrom will likely come back into the lineup.

JANUARY 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Tallies Sunday Koepke scored a goal and added four hits in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Islanders.

Impact Koepke has scored twice over his last five games, but he has just four points across 16 contests since the start of December. The 26-year-old forward is unlikely to be a regular contributor since he is on the fourth line. Koepke is at seven goals, five assists, 44 shots on net, 86 hits and a plus-10 rating through 40 appearances in his first full NHL campaign.

JANUARY 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Nets goal in win Koepke scored a goal on two shots and added five hits in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Blue Jackets.

Impact The goal was Koepke's first since Dec. 1, when he scored and added an assist versus the Canadiens. The 26-year-old forward has held down a fourth-line role, though he was scratched once in December. Koepke has already put together a career year with six goals, five assists, 41 shots on net, 77 hits and a plus-9 rating over 36 appearances in what appears to be his first full NHL campaign.

DECEMBER 29, 2024 • NHL.COM

Maintaining fourth-line role Koepke has earned two points and added 23 hits over 10 games in December.

Impact Koepke is in the Bruins' lineup most of the time, having sat out just two contests this season. The 26-year-old winger has found a home on the fourth line in his first year with Boston. He's at 10 points, 70 hits, 38 shots on net and a plus-10 rating through 34 appearances. Koepke's fantasy value isn't very high, but he displayed a little scoring talent early in the season and could chip in over short stretches.

Bruins winger Cole Koepke is holding fast to a productive spot on the fourth line - The Boston Globe Coach Joe Sacco praised the speedy forward for his effectiveness on the forecheck, among other things.
