While he's well behind the goal-scoring pace needed to match his 16 twine finders a year ago, he's finished above 20 points in each of the past two seasons and could make the leap over the 30-point mark if he continues to see middle-six minutes.

Pots first goal of season Cotter scored a goal in Wednesday's 4-1 win over Minnesota.

Impact Cotter opened the scoring for the Devils with a wrister at the 16:21 mark of the first period.
