Hockey Club's Olli Maatta: Puts up assist Sunday
Olli 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.

Hockey Club's Olli Maatta: Bags apple in shootout loss
Olli 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.

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.

Hockey Club's Olli Maatta: Heading west in trade
Olli Maatta was traded from Detroit to Utah on Tuesday in exchange for a third-round pick in 2025, which originally belonged to the Rangers.This is a classic hockey trade -- the Red Wings were carrying eight blueliners on the active roster. This trade frees up $3 million in cap space for Detroit, while Utah replenishes its injury-ravaged defense corps with a steady veteran capable of taking on bottom-four minutes. Maatta hasn't recorded a point over seven games this season, but he's blocked seven shots while adding three shots on goal and three hits. It's unclear if Maatta will be available for Wednesday's game against the Flames, but he should be ready to join Utah for a four-game road trip that begins in Vegas on Saturday.

The 2024-25 campaign will be a contract year for Maatta before potentially being able to hit the open market as an unrestricted free agent.

Red Wings' Olli Maatta: Rare two-goal game
Olli Maatta scored twice Thursday in a 5-3 loss to the Islanders.It was Maatta's third career multi-goal game (March 1, 2018 against the Bruins and March 6, 2014 against the Sharks). His first goal came early in the second frame with a slap shot from the left circle. His second came at 10:49 of third to tie the game 3-3. Maatta fired the biscuit into an open net off a cross-ice pass. He's not a consistent fantasy contributor -- he has just four goals, 17 points, 35 shots and 37 hits in 52 games this season. Nice effort, but it's not likely to be repeated.
