• Hockey Club's Ian Cole: Pots first goal with new club

  11D ago • By RotoWire

  Cole scored a goal in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Golden Knights. Cole has a goal and three assists over his last three games. The 35-year-old's tally Saturday was his first goal for Utah, though he's stepped up across the board as the team deals with a number of injuries on defense. He's now at six points, 10 shots on net, 17 hits, 27 blocked shots, 16 PIM and a plus-1 rating through 12 contests this season.

• Hockey Club's Ian Cole: Contributes helper in win

  14D ago • By RotoWire

  Cole posted an assist and four hits in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Flames. Cole has four helpers over his last four games, an unusually strong stretch of offense for the 35-year-old defenseman. He's up to five assists, nine shots on net, 16 hits, 26 blocked shots and 16 PIM through 11 contests overall. Cole should continue to see top-four minutes for Utah, though the team's trade for Olli Maatta could eat into Cole's ice time moving forward.

• Hockey Club's Ian Cole: Provides pair of assists

  16D ago • By RotoWire

  Cole notched two assists, two shots on goal and four blocked shots in Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Sharks. This was Cole's first multi-point effort since Dec, 1, 2022 when he was a member of the Lightning. The 35-year-old defenseman has contributed four assists, nine shots on net, 16 PIM, 12 hits, 25 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 10 contests in 2024-25. Significant injuries to John Marino (back) and Sean Durzi (shoulder) should afford Cole the opportunity to see top-four minutes over the first half of the campaign, but he's unlikely to be a regular scoring threat.

• Hockey Club's Ian Cole: Logs helper in loss

  20D ago • By RotoWire

  Cole provided an assist, four hits and two PIM in Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Avalanche. The helper was Cole's first point since he logged an assist on 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.

• Hockey Club's Ian Cole: Steady at both ends of ice

  10/09/2024 • By RotoWire

  Cole supplied an assist, seven blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Blackhawks. Cole's seven blocks were more than double any other player's total in this game. He also chipped in on offense by setting up a Lawson Crouse tally late in the third period. Cole had 11 points, 83 hits, 166 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating over 78 regular-season outings with the Canucks last year. At 35 years old, he's a bit of a journeyman -- Utah is his sixth franchise in the last five seasons -- but he'll offer grit and defensive skill in a bottom-four role. Cole has never finished with a plus-minus worse than minus-4 in his career, and he hasn't been in the negatives in a full campaign since 2018-19.
