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

Maatta notched an assist, four shots on goal and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Wild. Maatta continues to get more involved on offense -- this was his fourth assist over the last six games. He's been playing on the top pairing during this improved stretch of offense, and his minutes will likely remain high after Robert Bortuzzo (lower body) exited Tuesday's game and is likely to miss time. Maatta has four assists, 17 shots on net, 49 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating over 25 contests between Utah and Detroit this year.

Maatta notched an assist, two shots on goal, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Sabres. Maatta led the team with 23:18 of ice time in the contest. He has three helpers over his last four games, and while that scoring pace is unlikely to last, his value to Utah's battered defense has been immense. For the season, the Finnish blueliner has three helpers, 12 shots on net, 44 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating over 23 appearances between Utah and Detroit.

Maatta notched an assist, six blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Golden Knights. Maatta went from no points this season to earning a helper in consecutive contests. The 30-year-old defenseman is taking on heavy minutes for a Utah blue line decimated by injuries. Maatta has racked up 29 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 14 contests since being acquired by Utah from Detroit. He's not an impact player in fantasy since he rarely scores, but he's a key on-ice defensive presence.

Maatta notched an assist, four blocked shots and two PIM in Friday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Oilers. Maatta hadn't recorded a point over his 19 appearances between the Red Wings and Utah this season. He broke through with a helper on Lawson Crouse's third-period tally. Maatta had added just eight shots on net, eight hits, 30 blocked shots, six PIM and a plus-2 rating. He's a purely defensive part of Utah's top pairing right now, playing a shutdown role alongside the more offensively-gifted Mikhail Sergachev.
