Kolesar notched an assist, four hits and two blocked shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
Kolesar has two goals and two assists over six games in April. That's already more offense than he's had in every month but January this season. The 27-year-old has 18 points, 71 shots on net, 269 hits, 49 PIM and a minus-8 rating through 77 contests overall, a level of production nearly identical to last season.

Kolesar scored a goal and added three hits in Friday's 7-2 win over the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Kolesar has scored in each of the last two games. He continues to play on the fourth line, but it's unclear if he'll maintain his place in the lineup once Mark Stone (spleen) is ready to play. Kolesar has matched his career high with eight goals, and he's at 17 points, 71 shots on net, 267 hits, 49 PIM and a minus-8 rating through 76 contests this season.

Kolesar notched a shorthanded goal and complied six hits in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Kolesar got Vegas on the board with a shorthanded tally midway through the third period, beating Stuart Skinner on a breakaway to cut the deficit to 4-1. It's Kolesar's first goal since March 21 -- he'd logged just one assist in eight games prior to Wednesday's contest. The 27-year-old winger has seven goals and 16 points through 75 games this year while racking up 264 hits in a fourth-line role.

Kolesar notched an assist, two shots on goal and four hits in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Kolesar snapped a five-game dry spell when he set up a Brett Howden goal in the third period. The 26-year-old Kolesar remains in a fourth-line role, which has kept his offense limited throughout the year. The bruising winger has 15 points, 250 hits, 47 PIM, 67 shots on net and a minus-7 rating through 72 outings overall.

Kolesar scored a goal and added five hits in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
Kolesar cashed in on a loose puck at 18:40 of the third period, and that goal ended up being the game-winner. The tough winger has three points over his last two contests, though it's likely just a short burst of offense now that the Golden Knights are close to full health up front. Kolesar has six goals, 14 points, 233 hits, 60 shots on net, 40 PIM and a minus-3 rating through 66 outings overall.

Kolesar produced a pair of assists and nine hits in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Lightning.
EDGE Analysis
Kolesar snapped a 12-game point drought with his two-assist effort Tuesday. He's produced a trio of multi-point games in 2023-24, but his offense is otherwise quite limited. He's up to 13 points, 59 shots on net, 228 hits, 40 PIM and a minus-4 rating through 65 appearances. Kolesar continues to be a fixture on the Golden Knights' fourth line, offering little fantasy upside outside of his physical play.

Kolesar scored a goal on two shots and added a team-high six hits in Monday's 4-0 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Kolesar snapped a five-game drought with his tally. He's scored in line with his fourth-line role lately, posting three goals and two assists over 17 contests since the start of January. Kolesar is up to 11 points, 46 shots on net, 167 hits, 34 PIM and an even plus-minus rating through 52 appearances, so he doesn't need to be tracked closely in fantasy.

Kolesar scored a goal and added two hits in Friday's 5-2 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Kolesar made a big individual effort, blocking a shot and rushing up the ice for an unassisted go-ahead goal in the second period. He's scored twice over the last five games, doubling his goal total on the year. The 26-year-old is at four tallies, six assists, 131 hits, 41 shots on net, 34 PIM and an even plus-minus rating through 46 outings as a fixture on the fourth line.

Kolesar scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Kolesar put the Golden Knights ahead 4-0 late in the second period. That snapped a four-game point drought for the winger, who hadn't scored a goal since Dec. 6. He's had steady playing time in a bottom-six role as Vegas has battled injuries up front, but he may be at risk of a healthy scratch if or when the team is at full health. Kolesar has nine points, 36 shots on net, 34 PIM and 125 hits through 42 appearances.

Kolesar registered two assists, two shots on goal, four hits and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Kolesar missed one game with an illness, and he returned to a third-line role. The 26-year-old winger has two multi-point outings this season, both of which have come since the start of December. He's had mostly limited offense with eight points to go with 113 hits, 34 PIM and 33 shots on net through 37 outings. Kolesar's spot in the lineup should be safe with William Carrier (upper body) expected to miss some time.
