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.

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.

Impact Cole has three helpers, a plus-5 rating, 22 hits and 27 blocked shots over his last 11 outings.

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.

Impact Cole snapped a 20-game point drought when he set up Jack McBain's first-period tally. The 36-year-old Cole signed a one-year, $3 million contract last Wednesday to stay with Utah in 2025-26, and while he's not a big scorer, he is valued for his defensive work. This season, he's up to 14 points, 56 shots on net, 77 hits, 167 blocked shots, 55 PIM and a minus-7 rating over 65 appearances.

Sticking with Utah Cole signed a one-year contract extension with Utah on Wednesday.

Impact Cole will stop his journeyman ways for a year, sticking with Utah for a second season. He's been a key part of the team's defensive structure, which has been riddled by injuries for much of the campaign. Cole has 13 points, 73 hits, 160 blocked shots, 53 PIM and a minus-8 rating over 61 appearances in his first year with the club. He's not a strong fantasy player, but Cole can have some value in banger leagues.

Sticking in lineup amid slump Cole has gone 14 games without a point dating back to Jan. 18.

Impact The 36-year-old defenseman has held Utah's blue line together at times this season, but with Sean Durzi now healthy, Cole's usage may diminish. Even when the team was thin, Cole functioned more as a shutdown defenseman than a scorer. He's been pretty good in his role with 13 points, 50 shots on net, 51 PIM, 71 hits and 153 blocked shots over 58 appearances this season, but his fantasy utility is limited to deep formats that reward his physical play.

Puts up helper Thursday Cole notched an assist and three blocked shots in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Rangers.

Impact Cole had four assists over six outings from Dec. 23 to Jan. 4, but he had been held off the scoresheet in the four subsequent contests. The 35-year-old was able to snap that slump Thursday when he helped out on Matias Maccelli's opening tally 1:01 into the game. Cole is up to 13 points, 44 shots on net, 41 PIM, 52 hits, 127 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 44 appearances in a top-four role this season.

Impact Cole has a helper in back-to-back contests and four assists over his last six games. The 35-year-old defenseman may be worth considering in deeper fantasy formats due to his non-scoring production, but the offense is likely to fade eventually. For the season, he's at 12 points, 43 shots on net, 47 hits, 110 blocked shots, 41 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 39 appearances in a second-pairing role.

Nabs helper Thursday Cole notched an assist and three blocked shots in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Flames.

Impact Cole has earned three helpers over his last five contests, and he's added 11 blocked shots in that span. The 35-year-old defenseman continues to absorb heavy minutes in a top-four shutdown role. He's at 11 points -- matching his total from 78 regular-season outings with the Canucks last year -- and has added 40 shots on net, 41 PIM, 44 hits, 105 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 38 appearances in 2024-25. If Cole maintains his current pace, he could earn his first 20-point campaign since 2019-20.

Bags assist in loss Cole notched an assist and two shots on goal in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Stars.

Impact This was Cole's second helper in his last six games, but just his fourth point since the start of November. The 35-year-old defenseman has stayed in the lineup, which has been a challenge for many of Utah's blueliners. He hasn't added much with nine points, 37 shots on net, 39 PIM, 41 hits and 95 blocked shots over 34 appearances. Cole plays a physical and defensive style that doesn't translate to high fantasy value.

Picks up helper Cole notched an assist, two shots on goal, two hits and five blocked shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Avalanche.

Impact Cole snapped a 10-game point drought with the helper. The 35-year-old defenseman has seen big minutes lately, topping the 20-minute mark in 11 straight games as Utah continues to weather terrible injury luck on defense.

Impact Cole helped out on a Jack McBain goal in the first period. Other than that, it was a night to forget for Cole amid some defensive struggles. He has been generally solid this season -- Monday was the first time since Oct. 22 he ended a game with a minus rating. The 35-year-old blueliner has one goal, six assists, 17 shots on net, 25 PIM, 23 hits and 42 blocked shots over 18 appearances, and he's often been in a top-four role as Utah has dealt with injuries on defense.

Impact Cole has a goal and three assists over his last three games. The 35-year-old's tally Saturday was his first goal for Utah, though he's stepped up in a number of ways as the team deals with a number of injuries on defense. He's now at six points, 10 shots on net, 17 hits, 27 blocked shots, 16 PIM and a plus-1 rating through 12 contests this season.
