Ian Cole - Bags assist in loss Cole notched an assist and two shots on goal in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Stars.

Impact This was Cole's second helper in his last six games, but just his fourth point since the start of November. The 35-year-old defenseman has stayed in the lineup, which has been a challenge for many of Utah's blueliners. He hasn't added much with nine points, 37 shots on net, 39 PIM, 41 hits and 95 blocked shots over 34 appearances. Cole plays a physical and defensive style that doesn't translate to high fantasy value.

Michael Carcone - Earns assist Carcone managed an assist in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Stars.

Impact Carcone has contributed six points over his last 11 outings, though he had gone quiet in the three games prior to Monday. The 28-year-old helped out on linemate Kevin Stenlund's first-period tally. For the season, Carcone has eight points, 42 shots on net, 21 PIM and 20 hits through 24 appearances. He's not particularly physical for a fourth-liner, but he can agitate and provide modest depth scoring.

Nick Schmaltz - Nabs helper Monday Schmaltz provided an assist and five shots on goal in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Stars.

Impact Schmaltz has a goal and five assists over his last six outings. While it's a return to his helper-heavy production from earlier in the year, that's not a bad thing, as Schmaltz can make a big impact in that one category. He's up to five goals, 22 assists, 78 shots on net, 17 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 34 contests this season.

Clayton Keller - Stays warm with assist Keller produced an assist, two shots on goal and two PIM in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Stars.

Impact Keller's point streak is up to five games (four goals, six assists). The 26-year-old helped out on a Barrett Hayton tally in the third period as Utah tried to create a comeback. Keller continues to play above a point-per-game pace with 36 points, as well as 87 shots on net and a plus-3 rating, through 34 appearances this season. He's been even better lately and will look to sustain that success after the holiday break when Utah hosts Colorado on Friday.

Kevin Stenlund - Pots goal in loss Stenlund scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Stars.

Impact Stenlund tied the game at 1-1 just 99 seconds after Colin Blackwell opened the scoring for Dallas. The 28-year-old Stenlund went on an impressive five-game point streak earlier in December, but sustaining that pace was always going to be a tall order for the defensive-minded center. He's produced six goals, four assists, 46 shots on net, 27 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating through 34 appearances.

Barrett Hayton - Goals in consecutive games Hayton scored a goal on two shots in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Stars.

Impact After going 21 games without a goal, Hayton has scored in back-to-back contests. His tally brought Utah within one in the third period, but the team couldn't tie the game. The 24-year-old center has four points over his last four outings and is up to seven goals, 16 points, 51 shots on net, 20 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating through 34 appearances this season. He's got something to prove to fantasy managers, but Hayton has some clear upside as long as he remains on the top line.

Karel Vejmelka - Yields three goals in loss Vejmelka stopped 26 of 29 shots in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Stars.

Impact Vejmelka had won his previous four starts, but that run was snapped by a strong opponent. The 28-year-old has given up three or more goals in just three of his eight appearances in December, so he continues to put in good efforts as Utah's top goalie. He's at an 8-8-2 record with a 2.33 GAA and a .917 save percentage over 20 outings (18 starts) this season. Utah's schedule resumes Friday at home versus the Avalanche -- a team Vejmelka has gone 1-1-0 against with six goals allowed on 50 shots over two meetings this season.

Olli Maatta - Puts up assist Sunday Maatta logged an assist and three blocked shots in Sunday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Ducks.

Impact Maatta had gone four games without a point, though he has five assists over his last 11 outings. The 30-year-old should continue to get some looks on offense by virtue of playing on the first defensive pairing at even strength, alongside a more dynamic blueliner in Mikhail Sergachev. Maatta is at five helpers, 23 shots on net, 60 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating over 30 appearances between Utah and Detroit this season.

Juuso Valimaki - Garners assist Sunday Valimaki notched an assist in Sunday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Ducks.

Impact The helper ended a four-game slump for Valimaki, who continues to fill a third-pairing role. The 26-year-old has held onto his spot in the lineup as injuries on Utah's blue line have been a factor for much of the season. Valimaki is at a modest four points with 27 shots on net, 29 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 27 appearances.

Mikhail Sergachev - Posts two assists in shootout loss Sergachev recorded two assists and five blocked shots in Sunday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Ducks.

Impact Sergachev helped out on goals by Logan Cooley and Clayton Keller in the second period. During a four-game point streak, Sergachev has earned a goal and five assists, with three of those helpers coming on the power play. The defenseman is up to 26 points (10 on the power play), 55 shots on net, 62 blocks and a plus-7 rating while averaging 25:54 of ice time over 33 contests.

Logan Cooley - Keeps point streak alive Cooley recorded a power-play goal in Sunday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Ducks.

Impact Cooley found the twine for the first time since Dec. 8, when he notched a goal in a 4-2 loss to the Flyers, and the goal with the man advantage allowed the 20-year-old playmaker to extend his point streak to five contests. He has one goal and seven assists in that span.

Barrett Hayton - Records two points Sunday Hayton notched a goal and an assist in Sunday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Ducks.

Impact Hayton enjoyed a strong start to the season with points in four of his first five appearances, but he's cooled down notoriously since then, with only nine points over his subsequent 28 appearances. He has just four points (one goal, three assists) in nine outings in December, and this was the first time he scored a goal since Oct. 30. This is clearly a step in the right direction, but Hayton needs to be more consistent going forward to recover some of the fantasy upside he had earlier in the campaign.

Clayton Keller - Outsanding effort Sunday Keller had two goals and two assists, including one on the power play, in Sunday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Ducks.

Impact Keller was nearly unstoppable Sunday and contributed directly to each of the team's four goals. This performance also extended his point streak to four games, with three multi-point performances in that span. Keller is up to 35 points in 33 games this season, tallying 13 goals and 22 assists, and he could be on pace to match the career-high 86 points he recorded in the 2022-23 campaign.

Karel Vejmelka - Guarding goal Monday Vejmelka will patrol the home crease against Dallas on Monday, Belle Fraser of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact Vejmelka will get the second half of Utah's back-to-back after Jaxson Stauber played in Sunday's 5-4 shootout loss to Anaheim. The 28-year-old Vejmelka has stopped 94 of 101 shots during his four-game winning streak. He has posted a record of 8-7-2 with a 2.29 GAA and a .918 save percentage through 19 appearances this season. Vejmelka surrendered two goals on 21 shots in a 2-1 loss to the Stars on Dec. 2. Dallas sits 11th in the league with 3.16 goals per game in 2024-25.

Jaxson Stauber - Loses in shootout Sunday Stauber stopped 26 of 30 shots in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Ducks.

Impact Stauber was tagged with the loss in a game that was decided on a shootout, where he gave up the decider to Mason McTavish. Stauber has yet to be defeated in regulation this season, going 2-0-1 with a 1.96 GAA and a .928 save percentage in three appearances. That said, his fantasy upside shouldn't be very high even if the numbers (on a small sample size) are impressive, as he should remain in backup duties behind Karel Vejmelka, and he'll revert to a third-string role once Connor Ingram (upper body) is ready to return.
