The 24-year-old forward is up to four goals, 10 points, 34 shots on net, 87 hits, 27 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 28 contests overall.

Provides assist in win Cotter recorded an assist and a team-high seven hits in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Capitals.

Impact This was Cotter's second assist over the last three games after he opened November scoreless across 12 appearances. The 24-year-old forward saw 13:41 of ice time Saturday, filling more of a middle-six role than a bottom-six assignment, though his power-play ice time has dried up. He's at eight points, 74 hits, 30 shots on net, 27 PIM and a minus-2 rating through 25 outings, providing more toughness than offense.

Snaps slump with helper Cotter logged an assist and two hits in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Oilers.

Impact The helper was Cotter's first point in November. He's bounced around the lineup at times, but his slump has earned him a demotion to the fourth line -- further struggles could see him scratched in favor of Pavel Dorofeyev eventually. Cotter is at seven points, 28 shots on net, 65 hits, 27 PIM and a minus-2 rating through 23 appearances.

Impact Cotter had been held off the scoresheet over the previous two games before tallying in the first period Monday. The 23-year-old has carved out a role on the second power-play unit over the last five games -- he's earned three of his six points this season with the man advantage. The winger also has 12 shots on net, 37 hits, eight PIM and an even plus-minus rating through 10 outings.

He's picked up two goals, three assists, seven shots on net, 25 hits, six PIM and a plus-1 rating over seven contests this season. He likely won't be able to maintain that pace all season, but he's a solid short-term option for fantasy managers looking for points and hits.

Adding offense to hit machine Cotter had a goal and an assist in a 5-3 win over the Blackhawks on Saturday.

Impact Both points came on the power play. Cotter has three points in his last two games and four points in his last four games (one goal, three assists). The 23-year-old secured a role last season with his hard-nosed play, and this season, he already has 23 hits in six games. But now, Cotter may be adding offense to his repertoire. This situation bears monitoring.

Garners helper Cotter recorded an assist, four hits and two blocked shots in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Jets.

Impact Cotter has bounced around the lineup a bit, but he was the Golden Knights' second-most utilized left wing with a season-high 15:00 of ice time Thursday. The 23-year-old forward has two assists, 20 hits, four shots on goal, four PIM and four blocked shots through five contests. He'll likely remain in contention for a second-line spot, battling with Brett Howden.

Posts assist in win Cotter supplied an assist in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Ducks.

Impact Cotter's ice time was at a season-low 10:58 in Saturday's win, despite being listed on the second line.

Cotter has one helper, 11 hits, two shots on goal, two blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-1 rating through three contests.

OCTOBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Garners assist in win Cotter notched an assist and two hits in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Flyers.

Impact Cotter has started to get his offense going again with a goal and an assist over his last three games. The 23-year-old forward is up to 12 tallies, five helpers, 67 shots on net, 149 hits and a minus-7 rating through 49 contests overall. He should have a steady place in the lineup while the Golden Knights are missing forwards, but he's unlikely to see more than a fourth-line role.

MARCH 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Deposits goal in win Cotter scored a goal on two shots and added three hits in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Hurricanes.

Impact Cotter snapped an eight-game point drought with the tally. The 23-year-old has seen time all over the lineup this season -- he was on the first line before Ivan Barbashev took that spot following his move from St. Louis. Cotter worked on the third line Saturday, and that's likely the best spot for his high-energy style. He has 12 goals, four helpers, 147 hits, 65 shots on net and a minus-6 rating through 47 appearances.

MARCH 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

The 23-year-old forward has added three helpers, 51 shots on net, 116 hits and a minus-4 rating through 36 appearances this season. As long as he's playing on the top line with Jack Eichel, Cotter could have some sneaky value in deep fantasy formats.

Contributes goal Thursday Cotter scored a goal, logged two hits and went plus-3 in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Wild.

Impact Cotter put the Golden Knights ahead 3-1 in the second period. He'd previously been credited with another goal, but that one was later changed to Alex Pietrangelo. The tally snapped Cotter's five-game point drought. The 23-year-old has seen some top-six minutes at even strength lately despite the slump. He's up to nine goals, 12 points, 50 shots on net, 114 hits and a minus-3 rating through 35 appearances.
