Ian Cole - Logs helper in lossCole provided an assist, four hits and two PIM in Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Avalanche.
ImpactThe helper was Cole's first point since he logged an assist Opening Night. The 35-year-old defenseman was paired with Maveric Lamoureux in this contest, who made his NHL debut. Due to numerous injuries on Utah's blue line, Cole's spot in the lineup should be safe for most of the year. The veteran has two helpers, four shots on net, 11 hits, 21 blocked shots, 14 PIM and a minus-1 rating through eight appearances.

Matias Maccelli - Provides assist in lossMaccelli notched an assist in Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Avalanche.
ImpactMaccelli has two helpers over his last three games and a total of four assists through eight contests this season. The 24-year-old winger saw 13:10 of ice time, the second game in a row he's exceeded 13 minutes. With Utah's offense going stagnant -- three goals in the last three games -- a lineup shuffle could be on the way, which could get Maccelli back into a middle-six spot. The playmaker offers minimal fantasy value in his current fourth-line role, though he has racked up 13 shots on net for the year.
