Hockey Club's Juuso Valimaki: Pots goal in shootout loss
Valimaki scored a goal on four shots, added two hits and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Wild.
Valimaki has goals in back-to-back contests and three points over his last six games. The 26-year-old is likely to get a little more security in the lineup since Robert Bortuzzo (lower body) is expected to miss some time after suffering an injury Tuesday. Valimaki is up to three points, 24 shots on net, 23 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating across 22 appearances.

Hockey Club's Juuso Valimaki: Lights lamp Sunday
Valimaki scored a goal and blocked two shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Flyers.
Valimaki earned his second point over the last five games by scoring in the second period Sunday. The 26-year-old has seen steady playing time since Maveric Lamoureux (upper body) exited the lineup. Utah has three injured blueliners, and they're all at least a month away from a return, so Valimaki has a chance to carve out a role for himself. He's produced two points, 20 shots on net, 21 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating across 21 appearances in 2024-25, playing in a bottom-four role.

Hockey Club's Juuso Valimaki: Opportunity knocking
Valimaki notched an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Oilers.
Utah announced prior to the game that Maveric Lamoureux will miss 4-6 weeks with an upper-body injury. Valimaki was given the first chance to fill the empty spot in the lineup, though he may have to compete with Vladislav Kolyachonok during Lamoureux's absence. Valimaki was scratched for the previous four games, and prior to Friday, he didn't have a point this season. He's added 15 shots on net, 16 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 17 appearances. The Finn is unlikely to be a power-play threat, but Utah's injury woes have allowed Valimaki to stick in the NHL, and that could open the door for him to try to figure things out after a rough first quarter of the campaign.

Hockey Club's Juuso Valimaki: Healthy scratch Saturday
Valimaki was a healthy scratch Saturday against the Kings.
Valimaki has no points in eight games so far, and he's seen his ice time drop from 22:30 to 17:43 over his last four games. He's minus-7 in that span. Valimaki had seemingly turned around his queasy defensive play last season, but he's struggled out of the gate. The view from the press box will give him a different perspective on what he needs to do when he returns to the lineup. Valimaki has a 34-point season under his belt from 2022-23, but he must step up significantly to make a fantasy impact this year.

Juuso Valimaki: Re-ups with two-year deal
Valimaki signed a two-year contract with Utah on Saturday.
Per PuckPedia, the deal carries a $2 million cap hit. Valimaki took a step back on offense last season with 17 points over 68 contests, a year removed from a 34-point campaign. Part of the decrease can be explained by a reduced power-play role. Valimaki also improved from minus-10 in 2022-23 to plus-12 in 2023-24, showing improved defense. The 25-year-old is likely to fill a bottom-four role for Utah.

Coyotes' Juuso Valimaki: Contributes assist in win
Valimaki supplied an assist, two hits and three blocked shots in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Oilers.
Valimaki picked up three helpers over the last nine games of the campaign. The 25-year-old defenseman's play took a step back this year with 17 points through 68 appearances. He did, however, shore up his defense a bit with a plus-12 rating and 90 blocked shots. Valimaki is set for restricted free agency this summer. The team has no NHL-level defensemen under contract for 2024-25, but it has five blue-line RFAs to negotiate with.

Coyotes' Juuso Valimaki: Chips in with helper
Valimaki provided an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 8-5 loss to the Rangers.
Valimaki snapped a nine-game point drought when he set up Logan Cooley's third-period tally. It's been a tough year for Valimaki, who has 15 points, 61 shots on net, 72 blocked shots, 57 hits and a plus-8 rating over 60 appearances. He remains a constant in the lineup but typically sees bottom-four minutes, and his power-play time is sporadic.

Coyotes' Juuso Valimaki: Produces assist in Friday's win
Valimaki recorded an assist, three shots on goal and a plus-3 rating in Friday's 4-0 win over the Red Wings.
Valimaki has four helpers over his last eight games while adding a plus-3 rating and 13 shots on net in that span. The 25-year-old defenseman could see an uptick in playing time with Troy Stecher dealt to the Oilers at the trade deadline. Valimaki's fantasy upside remains limited since he sees almost no power-play time. He has 14 points, 49 shots on net, 47 hits, 52 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 50 appearances.

Valimaki recorded an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.

Valimaki is up to 12 points, 41 shots on net, 41 hits, 47 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 45 appearances as he struggles to replicate the form that saw him produce 34 points a season ago.

Valimaki notched an assist in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to the Wild.

Coyotes' Juuso Valimaki: Lights lamp Saturday
Valimaki scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Predators.
Valimaki put the Coyotes ahead 3-2 early in the third period. The 25-year-old defenseman is starting to find his way on offense with three points over his last six games, a run that should also help him fend off Josh Brown's challenge for playing time on the third pairing. Valimaki is up to two goals, nine points, 30 shots on net, 34 hits, 42 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating through 36 appearances this season.

Coyotes' Juuso Valimaki: Posts helper in loss
Valimaki logged an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Golden Knights.
Valimaki set up a Jason Zucker tally in the first period. This was Valimaki's second point over five contests since he returned from a six-game stint as a healthy scratch. The 25-year-old defenseman has just eight points with 28 shots on net, 40 blocked shots, 26 hits and a minus-2 rating through 35 outings overall. He should stick in the lineup most of the time, but he could be rotated out at times depending on the play of Michael Kesselring and Josh Brown.

Coyotes' Juuso Valimaki: Nets first goal in return
Valimaki scored a goal on his lone shot in Monday's 5-2 win over the Penguins.
After serving as a healthy scratch in Arizona's prior six contests, Valimaki notched his first goal of the season in his return to the lineup Monday, beating Tristan Jarry from the slot to put the Coyotes ahead 2-1 in the second period. It's the first point for Valimaki since Dec. 12 -- he's now up to seven points through 31 games this season. It's been a disappointing campaign overall for the 25-year-old blueliner, as he looked poised to take a step forward following a 34-point (four goals, 30 assists) campaign in 2022-23. Still, Valimaki could have a chance to turn his season around, as he'll remain in the lineup with Troy Stecher (lower body) expected to miss the next four-to-six weeks.

Coyotes' Juuso Valimaki: Sitting amid slump
Valimaki has been scratched for four straight games after sitting out versus the Flames on Tuesday.
Valiamki was also scratched twice in December amid his eight-game point drought. It's a significant concern that the 25-year-old wasn't able to draw in against his former team Tuesday, even with the Coyotes dressing seven defensemen. Valimaki has just six assists with 35 blocked shots, 25 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating over 30 appearances.

Coyotes' Juuso Valimaki: Snags power-play assist
Valimaki recorded a power-play assist in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Penguins.
Valimaki has two helpers over his last three games, but that's all of his offense across seven contests since he returned from a mouth injury. The 25-year-old defenseman continues to hold down a top-four role with time on the second power-play unit, but his offense hasn't been very impressive this season. He's at six assists, 14 shots on net, 26 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating through 22 outings.

Valimaki is at five assists, 13 shots on net, 25 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating through 20 appearances.
