Impact Cole has earned two points, nine hits, 10 blocked shots and four PIM across four games in this first-round series.

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.

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.
