Cooley registered two secondary assists in Thursday's 5-4 overtime victory against the Islanders.
Cooley notched a power-play assist in the first period before helping out on Dylan Guenther's game-winning goal in overtime. Cooley is showing why he was selected third overall in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft with four assists through two games. The left-shot center produced 44 points in his first NHL season in 2023-24, and he should be able to surpass that number given his second-line role and spot on the second power-play unit. Cooley will look to keep it rolling Saturday against the Rangers.
