Cotter scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Blue Jackets. Cotter endured a seven-game slump coming out of the 4 Nations Face-Off break. The Devils scratched him Sunday versus the Flyers, but he was back in a fourth-line role Tuesday, and he ended his slump with a first-period tally. The 25-year-old now has a career-high 14 goals, but he's added just six helpers over 65 appearances, so he's still five points back of matching his 2023-24 total of 25 in 76 games. Cotter also has 206 hits, 76 shots on net, 47 PIM and a minus-8 rating. The Devils acquired Cody Glass and Daniel Sprong in trades to bolster their forward depth, so Cotter's spot in the lineup is far from secure down the stretch.

Cotter had one goal, three shots on net, one blocked shot and one hit in Saturday's 4-0 victory over Montreal. Cotter's 13th goal of 2024-25 matched his previous best from the 2022-23 campaign when he achieved the feat in 55 games. He has been cold offensively, earning three goals on 16 shots in his last 14 outings. Cotter has 19 points and a team-leading 185 hits through 57 appearances this season.

Cotter produced two even-strength goals on three shots, four hits and a plus-2 rating in 14:15 of ice time in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Sabres. Cotter cut the Sabres' lead to two on two separate occasions, but his efforts weren't enough to pull off the comeback in Buffalo. The 25-year-old had been held off the scoresheet in 10 consecutive games prior to Sunday. Furthermore, his last assist came against Columbus on Dec. 19, so he hasn't been much of a factor offensively after a productive first month of the season (eight points over 13 contests). He does add value in the form of hits, having racked up 180 across 54 outings. The Michigan native is at 12 goals, 18 points and a minus-7 rating in 2024-25.

Cotter scored a goal, took two shots and recorded a hit in Monday's 3-2 win over the Kraken. Cotter found the back of the net for the second consecutive game, marking the first time he scored in back-to-back contests since the first two games of the campaign. Cotter, who has found the twine thrice over his last five games, has 10 goals and six assists across 43 contests. However, he's not expected to have a prominent role on offense due to his role as a bottom-six forward.

Cotter scored a goal, doled out five hits and went minus-2 in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Sharks. Cotter has two goals over the last four games, but he's picked up just three points across his last 23 outings. The 25-year-old remains in a middle-six role, providing plenty of physicality even in his cold stretches on offense. For the season, Cotter is at nine goals, six assists, 51 shots on net, 143 hits, 37 PIM and a minus-4 rating through 42 appearances.
