Logan Cooley posts four-point night in Utah's overtime loss

Fantasy hockey: Cooley scored three goals and added an assist Thursday, but his underlying play remains mid-tier and his shot total was thin.

Logan Cooley scored three goals and added one assist in 19:31 on Thursday, November 5, when Utah fell to Montreal 5-4 in overtime. He managed the four points on just three shots, two of his goals coming on the power play, and finished minus-one with two hits.

The big night stands well above his recent averages of 0.80 points per game and 1.9 shots per game. His underlying play grades 60 out of 100 among forwards in shots, scoring chances and ice time, a read on how sustainable his scoring is, and he needed only three shots to produce the hat trick. He skates on the first power-play unit, averaging 2:24 with the extra attacker and ranking fifth among all Utah skaters in power-play time.

The four-point outburst came without more ice time than usual (his recent average is 17:31 a night) and with fewer shots than expected, so treat it as one game rather than a sign of a new level. His recent averages are 0.37 goals and 0.43 assists per game, with 0.23 power-play points per contest. The hat trick was built on execution rather than volume.

Cooley has three games left this week, on Thursday, Saturday and Wednesday. He remains a hold in standard formats. The process grade of 60 suggests his scoring will fluctuate, and one explosive night does not change that outlook. Keep him rostered where you already own him, but do not chase the performance in shallow leagues.

What to do

• Keep Cooley rostered in all formats where you already own him.

• Do not chase him in shallow leagues based on one high-shooting-percentage game.

• Start him in his three games this week if you need center help.
