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

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

Golden Knights' Paul Cotter: Opens scoring on power play
Cotter scored a power-play goal on two shots and added three hits in Monday's 3-2 shootout win over the Canadiens.
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.

Golden Knights' Paul Cotter: Scores again Tuesday
Cotter scored a goal and added two hits in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Flyers.
Cotter tied the game at 2-2 with his third-period marker. The 23-year-old is doing everything he can to stay in a middle-six role, though his 10:19 of ice time Tuesday was the lowest on the team. 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.

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

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

Golden Knights' Paul Cotter: Tallies in Sunday's win
Cotter scored a goal on three shots and added four hits in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
Cotter has started to bounce back lately with two goals and an assist over his last five games. With the Golden Knights' top six healthy, he's been stuck in a bottom-six role, so his upside is still limited. The 23-year-old has 13 goals, five assists, 72 shots on net, 156 hits and a minus-8 rating through 51 appearances.

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

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

Cotter notched an assist and three hits in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Lightning.
Cotter's goal streak ended at three games, but he has points in four straight. The 23-year-old has benefited from seeing top-line usage at even strength, giving him some exposure to talented linemates. For the season, the Michigan native has 11 goals, four helpers, 54 shots on net, 124 hits and a minus-3 rating in 38 appearances.

Golden Knights' Paul Cotter: Nets equalizer Thursday
Cotter scored a goal on three shots and added five hits in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Sharks.
Cotter was limited to 13:12 of ice time, as the Golden Knights spent nearly a quarter of the game on the power play, which is a situation he's not featured in. This was his third straight game with a goal, and he's up to 11 tallies and three assists through 37 outings overall. The 23-year-old should continue to have some appeal in deep fantasy formats as long as he's alongside Jack Eichel on the top line.

Cotter scored a goal and added two hits in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Ducks.
Cotter tallied just 2:08 into the game. The goal was his 10th of the season and his sixth in 14 outings since he returned from an upper-body injury. 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.

He's up to nine goals, 12 points, 50 shots on net, 114 hits and a minus-3 rating through 35 appearances.

Golden Knights' Paul Cotter: Grabs pair of points in return
Cotter scored a goal on three shots, added an assist and doled out four hits in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Penguins.
Cotter's return from an eight-game absence was overshadowed by the Golden Knights welcoming Jack Eichel (three points Thursday) back. Still, Cotter's instant chemistry with William Karlsson and Phil Kessel on the third line was a big plus for a team that's had to lean heavily on its top six. The 23-year-old Cotter is up to five tallies, three assists, 32 shots on net, 70 hits and a plus-1 rating through 23 contests this season. He should have a secure place in the lineup while Vegas continues to miss Jonathan Marchessault (lower body) and Brett Howden (lower body).
