Red Wings' Olli Maatta Picks Short Corner To Score His First Goal Of The Season

DECEMBER 21, 2023 • YOUTUBE

Plucks apple in loss Maatta notched an assist in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Stars.

Impact Maatta had gone eight games without a point, and he sat twice as a healthy scratch in that span. The Red Wings continue to rotate Maatta, Justin Holl and Jeff Petry out of the lineup on occasion. Maatta has five assists, eight shots on goal, 25 blocked shots, 15 hits and a plus-2 rating through 22 appearances this season, and he's unlikely to see more than a third-pairing role when he plays.

Two helpers in OT loss Maatta notched two assists in Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Senators.

Impact The 29-year-old defenseman benefited from his even-strength partnership with Shayne Gostisbehere, as the latter was busy putting together a three-point effort. It's Maatta's first multi-point performance of the season, and through 13 games he has only four assists without adding much production in secondary categories (15 blocked shots, nine hits, six shots on net, four PIM and an even plus-minus rating.)

Impact Maatta is a well-rounded blueliner fresh off a strong first season with Detroit. He posted six goals, 17 assists, and a career-high 128 blocked shots through 78 contests. Fantasy managers generally require players with power-play utility, and Maatta isn't involved there, but he has a decent two-way profile and is occasionally rendered as a sneaky budget play in daily leagues.

Dishes on two goals in win Maatta recorded two assists in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Canadiens.

Impact Maatta collected a goal and an assist in the prior contest -- a 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs -- so, suffice it to say, he's having a terrific start to April. Maatta has registered six goals to complement 17 assists through 73 games, which marks his first 20-point campaign since he registered 29 points with the Penguins in 2017-18.

Two points in win Maata tallied a goal and an assist in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs.

Impact Maata opened the scoring 1:30 into the first period, intercepting a Toronto pass before beating Matt Murray on a breakaway. Maata would add a second point later in the frame, assisting on a Dylan Larkin tally. The goal was Maata's first since Feb. 15, a span of 23 games, and his first multipoint effort since Dec. 4. The 28-year-old blueliner is up to 21 points (six goals, 15 assists) with a minus-7 rating in 72 games this season.

Registers helper in win Maatta emerged with a secondary assist in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Capitals.

Impact Maatta inked a two-year, $6 million contract extension last Thursday. He's strung together five goals, 13 assists and a plus-6 rating through 52 games, which are strong numbers for a third-pairing defenseman. His shooting percentage (11.9) will be tough to sustain, but that's splitting hairs on an otherwise productive campaign for the Finn.
