Cooley logged an assist in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Cooley missed 28 games due to a lower-body injury. The 21-year-old center will resume a top-six role and should have significant upside in fantasy for the rest of the campaign if he can stay healthy.

Cooley (lower body) was taken off injured reserve ahead of Wednesday's matchup against Colorado, per the NHL media site.

EDGE Analysis

Following a 28-game absence, Cooley is set to occupy a second-line role in addition to linking up with the No. 2 power-play unit. Before getting hurt, Cooley didn't have a point in four straight games, but he could still challenge for the 20-goal and 40-point thresholds now that his injury is behind him.

Cooley (lower body) skated in a non-contact jersey during Monday's practice, Cole Bagley of KSL Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bagley noted that Monday marked the first time Cooley has participated in any drills at practice. Regarding Cooley's recovery, head coach Andre Tourigny said, "He's not there yet. He needs a little bit more time to heal and to get stronger but we're happy with the progression." The 21-year-old Cooley remains on injured reserve and likely won't be back in the lineup until after the 2026 Winter Olympics.

Cooley (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Friday, per the NHL media site.

EDGE Analysis

Cooley (lower body) was announced Thursday to be out for a minimum of eight weeks.

EDGE Analysis

Cooley (lower body) is out indefinitely, the team announced Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Cooley will miss his second straight game against the Kings on Monday and will be out for an extended period of time. He has collected 14 goals, 23 points, 59 shots on net and 34 hits across 29 appearances this season. With Cooley unavailable, Barrett Hayton has a chance to lock down a top-six role.

Cooley is a late scratch for Saturday's clash in Calgary because of a lower-body injury.

EDGE Analysis

Cooley will undergo further evaluation when the team returns to Utah after Saturday's action. The Mammoth host the Kings on Monday, and an update on the 21-year-old center should arrive before that contest. He has 14 goals and 23 points in 29 outings in 2025-26. Barrett Hayton will draw back in against the Flames on Saturday after being a healthy scratch for the last two games due to Cooley's absence.

Cooley (lower body) is in the lineup for Monday's game in San Jose.

EDGE Analysis

Cooley was deemed a game-time call heading into Monday's road matchup, but he'll avoid missing his first game of the 2025-26 campaign. The rising star was unable to put weight on his left leg after a collision during Saturday's game against St. Louis, so his injury was seemingly a stinger more than anything overly serious. Cooley will center the second line between Nick Schmaltz and Dylan Guenther on Monday, and he'll likely skate on the No. 1 power-play unit as well.
