Cole collected a third-period assist and registered two shots on net with two blocked shots and two PIM during Wednesday's loss to the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

Cole is a meat-and-potatoes defenseman who succeeds in a supporting role. He has limited offensive acumen (five points through 23 games), and his fantasy value is tied to his limited contributions in the peripheral categories. For the year, Cole has 26 shots, 21 PIM, 53 hits, 48 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating. In most settings, the numbers don't move the fantasy needle.
