Devils' Paul Cotter: Receives two-game suspension
The NHL Department of Player Safety issued a two-game suspension to Cotter on Monday for an illegal check to the head against Adam Pelech (upper body) of the Islanders on Sunday.
Cotter will miss the final two games of the regular season, but he will be eligible to return in Game 1 of the playoffs versus Carolina. The 25-year-old forward has 16 goals, 22 points, 90 shots on net, 245 hits and 52 PIM across 79 appearances this season. Stefan Noesen (rest), Nolan Foote, Curtis Lazar or Marc McLaughlin could replace Cotter in the lineup against Boston on Tuesday.

Devils' Paul Cotter: Facing possible suspension
Cotter will have a hearing with the NHL Department of Player Safety on Monday for an illegal check to the head of the Islanders' Adam Pelech (upper body) on Sunday.
Cotter received a match penalty in the second period of Sunday's 1-0 loss as a result of his wrongdoing. The 25-year-old has never been suspended in his four-year NHL career, which could help his case. New Jersey has two matchups remaining on its regular-season schedule, and if Cotter receives a suspension, it's unlikely to be for more than two games.

Devils' Paul Cotter: Tallies in Saturday's win
Cotter scored a goal in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Wild.
Cotter has three goals over his last 10 games while sticking in the lineup regularly on the fourth line. The 25-year-old has played a larger role at times, but even without Jack Hughes (shoulder), the Devils aren't short on forward depth. Cotter has 16 goals, 22 points, 85 shots on net, 232 hits, 47 PIM and a minus-11 rating through 74 contests in his first season with New Jersey.

Devils' Paul Cotter: Pots goal Thursday
Cotter scored a goal and added two hits in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Flames.
Cotter has two goals over his last five games, though he's largely been limited to fourth-line duties. The 25-year-old forward centered that trio Thursday with Curtis Lazar (undisclosed) out of action. Cotter is at 15 goals, six helpers, 79 shots on net, 218 hits, 47 PIM and a minus-11 rating over 69 appearances this season.

Devils' Paul Cotter: Nets goal after scratch
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.

Devils' Paul Cotter: Scores in Saturday's win
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.

Devils' Paul Cotter: Scores twice in road loss
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.

Devils' Paul Cotter: Scores in back-to-back games
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.

Devils' Paul Cotter: Scores in loss
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.

Devils' Paul Cotter: Pots goal in defeat
Cotter found the back of the net on his only shot and added two hits, one blocked shot and a plus-1 rating in 10:32 of ice time in Saturday's 5-2 loss to Carolina.
Cotter stripped the puck from Jesperi Kotkaniemi in the neutral zone before depositing a shot past Dustin Tokarski on a breakaway to open the scoring in the middle frame. It was Cotter's first goal since Nov. 12, a span of 19 games. The 25-year-old has cooled off significantly after producing 12 points over his first 19 appearances of the campaign. Overall, Cotter is at eight goals and 14 points through 39 outings.

Devils' Paul Cotter: Ends drought with helper
Cotter picked up an assist, two shots on goal, two hits and two blocked shots in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Blue Jackets.
Cotter ended a 15-game point drought when he set up a Luke Hughes tally in the third period. The slump took the shine off of a strong start to the season for Cotter, who has been a regular on the Devils' third line throughout 2024-25. He's still on pace for a career year with 13 points, 45 shots on net, 113 hits, 26 PIM and a minus-3 rating over 35 appearances, but it's unlikely he'll get much power-play time to raise his floor on offense.

Devils' Paul Cotter: Slipping on offense
Cotter has not recorded a point over his last 13 games after being held off the scoresheet in a 3-1 win over the Kings on Thursday.
During the slump, Cotter has 13 shots on net, 14 PIM and 51 hits. He opened the year in great form, but as a bottom-six forward with no path to power-play time, offense is likely to come and go. The 25-year-old has 12 points, 39 shots on net, 103 hits, 26 PIM and a minus-3 rating through 32 appearances.

Devils' Paul Cotter: Finds twine in win
Cotter scored a goal, added two PIM and logged two hits in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Panthers.
Cotter has four points, 13 hits and a plus-4 rating over his last five contests. The 24-year-old provided an insurance tally late in the third period to help the Devils pull away with the win. The power forward has seven goals, five assists, 26 shots on net, 52 hits, 12 PIM and a plus-2 rating across 19 appearances. Cotter is likely to continue filling a middle-six role, though he's not expected to be a factor on the power play.

Devils' Paul Cotter: Helps in win
Cotter picked up an assist, two shots on net, one block and five hits in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Canadiens.
In a battle for a puck in the corner, Cotter managed to direct it with his skate to Erik Haula, who set up Jonas Siegenthaler for the Devils' third goal. The third-line winger's hot start to the season has faded a bit, but Cotter has points in two straight and 10 points over 16 outings. Whether he's scoring or not, Cotter makes opponents feel his presence; he's up to a team-high 53 hits.

Devils' Paul Cotter: Offers assist in win
Cotter logged an assist and four hits in Monday's 3-0 win over the Oilers.
Cotter's offense has stabilized a bit with three points over his last five contests. He also has four PIM and 13 hits in that span as he continues to bring some energy in a third-line role. The 24-year-old forward is up to nine points, 22 shots on net, 43 hits, 10 PIM and a minus-1 rating over 15 appearances this season.

Devils' Paul Cotter: Tallies in Sunday's win
Cotter scored a goal on two shots, added two PIM and logged two hits in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Ducks.
Cotter has a goal and an assist over his last two games after going three contests without a point. The 24-year-old forward saw 15:54 of ice time Sunday, his second-highest total of the season, though he remains in a third-line role. He's contributed six goals, two assists, 22 shots on net, 33 hits, eight PIM and a minus-2 rating through 12 appearances, offering physical play and steady depth offense.

Devils' Paul Cotter: Adds assist in overtime loss
Cotter notched an assist in Friday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Islanders.
After a hot start to the campaign, Cotter has been limited to two points over his last seven games. The 24-year-old winger has seen the occasional top-six look, but his playing style is best suited for third-line usage. He's at five goals, two assists, 20 shots on net, 31 hits, six PIM and a minus-2 rating over 11 appearances. Cotter's ability to rack up hits gives him some appeal in deep formats, though he can be streamed when his offense is hot.

Devils' Paul Cotter: Stays hot in Thursday's win
Cotter scored his fifth goal of the season in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Senators.
The former Golden Knight continued his impressive start to the season, scoring New Jersey's final goal of the game in the third period by banging home the rebound on a Dougie Hamilton shot. Cotter has never produced more than 13 goals or 25 points in an NHL campaign, but for now he has a top-six assignment and has turned it into six points in seven games.

Devils' Paul Cotter: Pots two goals in win
Cotter tallied two goals on four shots and added two hits in Saturday's 5-3 victory over the Capitals.
Cotter has been scorching to start the season with four goals and five points in his first four games. The 24-year-old could have a breakout year in the high-octane offense of the Devils. However, he is unlikely to maintain his current scoring pace. After all, he recorded a career-high 25 points in 76 regular-season contests with Vegas in 2023-24.
