  • Canucks' Ian Cole: Registers assist in loss

    Cole notched an assist and three hits in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Kings.

    Cole set up a Sam Lafferty tally in the first period. The 35-year-old Cole had been out of the lineup for the previous two games, though his lack of a scoring touch means that wasn't an issue for most fantasy managers. For the season, the hard-nosed defenseman has 10 points, 57 shots on net, 73 hits, 147 blocked shots, 57 PIM and a plus-11 rating over 69 appearances.

    Cole snapped a 14-game point drought with the secondary helper on Sam Lafferty's first-period tally.

  • Canucks' Ian Cole: Logging heavy minutes

    Cole is averaging 22:45 of ice time through his first three games with Vancouver.

    Cole has never averaged more than 20 minutes a night across an entire season. While it's still early, he could set a new career high in playing time this year due to the Canucks' lack of depth on the blue line. Cole isn't typically a great fantasy producer but the extra ice time could help expand his totals from last year of 17 points, 117 hits and 123 blocks.

  • Canucks' Ian Cole: Joining Vancouver

    Cole signed a one-year, $3 million deal with the Canucks on Saturday.

    Cole tallied three goals and 17 points in 78 games with Tampa Bay last season. The 34-year-old blueliner doesn't offer much upside for fantasy purposes, though he should provide some stability to Vancouver's defensive corps.

  • Lightning's Ian Cole: Third assist in 34 games

    Cole picked up an assist Saturday in a 5-0 win over the Islanders.

    Cole has three assists in his last 34 games, so you'll never mistake him for an offensive wizard. He logs a lot of ice time (20:07) and is the go-to Bolts' defender on the penalty kill (2:59).

  • Lightning's Ian Cole: Better on ice than in fantasy arena

    Cole has one assist, 12 blocks, 12 shots and seven hits in his last 10 games.

    Cole and Erik Cernak form a strong and physical third pairing for the Lightning, but don't offer much fantasy value. The veteran blueliner has 14 points, including three goals, 75 blocks and 67 hits in 45 games this season.

  • Lightning's Ian Cole: Pitching in hits and blocks

  • Lightning's Ian Cole: Opens Tuesday's scoring

    Cole scored a goal during a 6-2 victory over the visiting Kraken on Tuesday.

  • Lightning's Ian Cole: Two-point game in win

    Cole scored a goal and added an assist in Thursday's 4-1 win over Philadelphia.

    His goal was a Sports Centre highlight -- he wired a shot off the end boards that bounced off and got into Carter Hart's skates and into the net. But Cole's assist will stay in his memory. He got a helper on the play that Steven Stamkos set a franchise record as the first Bolt to reach 1,000 points.
