Ian Cole - NHL News & Rumors

Puts away goal Saturday Cole scored a goal, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Penguins.

Impact Cole tied the game at 3-3 in the third period, but Noel Acciari answered with the game-winner a few minutes later. The 37-year-old Cole doesn't typically add much on offense, but he's earned three points over his last five games. He's firmly in a third-pairing role with the Mammoth's defense at full health currently. Cole has produced 19 points, matching his best total in the last five years, while adding 47 shots on net, 64 hits, 129 blocked shots, 42 PIM and a plus-19 rating over 67 outings this season.

Notches assist in overtime win Cole logged an assist and five PIM in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.

Impact Cole helped out on Logan Cooley's first tally of the contest. This ended a 13-game point drought for Cole, who will likely see a drop in ice time once the Mammoth's blue line is at full health. He should still be in the lineup regularly over Nick DeSimone. Cole has matched his output from last year with 17 points while adding 45 shots on net, 60 hits, 124 blocked shots, 40 PIM and a plus-20 rating through 63 appearances.

Impact Cole helped out on second-period tallies by Dylan Guenther and JJ Peterka. This two-assist effort matched Cole's output from the previous 18 games combined. The 36-year-old defenseman is up to 15 points, 34 shots on net, 95 blocked shots, 49 hits, 24 PIM and a plus-16 rating over 47 appearances. He's mainly in a bottom-four role, but he's poised to get over the 20 points mark for the first time since 2019-20 with the Avalanche.

Good all-around effort in big win Cole scored a goal on two shots, added an assist, blocked two shots, logged two PIM and went plus-5 in Wednesday's 7-0 win over the Ducks.

Impact Cole is rarely a big contributor on offense, but he was right in the middle of a breakout performance for the Mammoth. He set up Dylan Guenther on the team's second goal before scoring the third one himself. Through 28 appearances, Cole is at two goals, 11 points, 23 shots on net, 31 hits, 59 blocked shots, 16 PIM and a plus-11 rating. He's been a bottom-four fixture in the lineup, but he's on track to top the 20-point mark for the first time since 2019-20.

Picks up two assists Cole recorded two assists, one hit and a plus-1 rating during his 16:32 of ice time in Sunday's 4-2 loss

Impact Cole picked up the lone assist on each of the Mammoth's two goals during Sunday's game. That brings his total up to six points (one goal, five assists) on the season through 12 games, putting him on pace for 41 points through a full 82-game slate. His career high for points is 26, a mark the 36-year-old has reached twice in his lengthy career. It might be tough to keep up the 41-point pace given his usage but something around the 20-point plateau feels like a realistic goal to shoot at for the veteran.

Nets opening goal Cole scored a goal, fired two shots on net, blocked two shots and dished out two hits in Thursday's 7-4 win over the Blues.

Impact Cole opened the floodgates for the Mammoth with a goal just beyond the first three minutes of regulation. Overall, the 36-year-old blueliner has three points, a plus-nine rating, 16 blocks and 11 hits through eight games this season. With the Mammoth taking a step forward in the early stages of this season, Cole is in the midst of their success. He provides solid category coverage from a fantasy perspective and saw 22 minutes of ice time Thursday, which was the third most among defenseman. He has some fantasy appeal in deep leagues and is a name to keep an eye on if he can string together a few more consecutive outings with a point.

Registers helper Friday Cole logged an assist and went plus-2 in Friday's 6-3 win over the Sharks.

Impact Cole has filled a bottom-four role to start 2025-26. The helper was his first point in five games. The 36-year-old blueliner still brings a physical game -- he's added seven hits, nine blocked shots, four PIM and a plus-4 rating so far this season. Cole hasn't reached the 20-point mark since 2019-20 with the Avalanche, so don't expect frequent scoring contributions from him.

Secures assist in Monday's win Cole logged an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 7-3 win over the Predators.

Impact Cole has contributed four assists, a plus-7 rating, 33 hits, 54 blocked shots and 26 PIM over 21 contests since the start of March. He's hardly a consistent presence on the scoresheet, but his physical play is helpful in deep leagues with an emphasis on non-scoring categories. For the season, Cole has 17 points, 77 PIM, 66 shots, 106 hits and 209 blocks across 81 appearances as a steady top-four defenseman in Utah's lineup.

He's up to 16 points, 62 shots on net, 69 PIM, 98 hits, 191 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 75 appearances this season.
