Devils' Paul Cotter: One of each Friday
Paul Cotter netted a goal, registered an assist, put two shots on goal and dished out two hits in Friday's 5-0 shutout win over the Sabres.After he tallied a secondary helper on Brenden Dillon's twine finder to open scoring in the third, Cotter scored a goal of his own less than four minutes later. With the pair of points, the 26-year-old Cotter has two goals, four assists, 26 shots on net and 62 hits through 24 games this season. He has half his points this season across the last two games and is heating up in the hit department with 15 across his past five appearances. While he's well behind the goal-scoring pace needed to match his total of 16 from the 2024-25 regular season, he's finished above 20 points in each of the past two campaigns and could leap over the 30-point mark if he continues to see middle-six minutes.

Devils' Paul Cotter: Pots first goal of season
Paul Cotter scored a goal in Wednesday's 4-1 win over Minnesota.Cotter opened the scoring for the New Jersey Devils with a wrister at the 16:21 mark of the first period. Not only was this Cotter's first goal of the campaign, but it was the first time he cracked the scoresheet in 2025-26. As a bottom-six forward who doesn't see time on special teams, his role on offense is limited, so fantasy managers should keep him on waivers until his role changes for the better.

Devils' Paul Cotter: Nets goal after scratch
Paul 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 New Jersey 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.
