Contributes assist in loss
Cotter logged an assist, two shots on goal and nine hits in Tuesday's 5-4 double-overtime loss to the Hurricanes in Game 5.
ANALYSIS
Cotter ended his nine-game point drought with the helper. The 25-year-old was limited to one assist, five shots on net, 22 hits, three blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over five playoff outings. He's under contract for 2025-26 and is lined up for restricted free agency next summer, so he'll be looking for a big season. Cotter put up 22 points, 90 shots, 245 hits, 62 PIM and a minus-14 rating over 79 regular-season appearances in his first year with the Devils.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
An initial glance at Cotter's numbers last year would indicate a player on the rise, as he set new career highs with 18 assists, 25 points and four power-play points. However, a deeper look at the versatile forward's end of the 2023-24 campaign paints a different picture. The 24-year-old Michigan native ended the regular season mired in a 17-game goal drought during which he generated a mere 15 shots on net. Additionally, Cotter found himself as the odd man out of the lineup in the playoffs, serving as a healthy scratch for all seven of the Golden Knights' postseason clashes with Dallas. An offseason trade saw him shipped off to New Jersey, where he is likely to fill a limited bottom-six role, providing hits and depth scoring but little else.
