Logan Cooley's hat trick leads Utah to overtime win

Logan Cooley scored three goals on five shots in 18:35 Thursday, October 29, leading Utah to a 4-3 overtime win over the Penguins. The center added two hits, one block and finished plus-2 in the victory.

The hat trick towers over Cooley's recent averages of 0.80 points and 1.9 shots a night, and he has three games left this week (Thursday, Sunday, Tuesday) to deliver value at a fraction of his usual production.

Player by player

Logan Cooley

Cooley's three goals and five shots crush his recent pace of 0.37 goals and 1.9 shots a night. The 18:35 ice time topped his usual 17:31 a game, and his first-unit power-play role (2:24 a night, fifth among all Utah skaters) gives him access to extra points. His underlying play grades 60 out of 100 among forwards, measuring shots, scoring chances and ice time, a gauge of how repeatable his scoring will be.

Three games remain this week (Thursday, Sunday, Tuesday), and Cooley's recent 0.80 points per game suggest he will add more production before the period ends. His shot volume and ice time support streaming him in formats where he is available, and rostered managers should start him in all three contests. The hat trick makes him a priority add for managers hunting offense at center.

What to do

• Stream Logan Cooley in formats where he is available, with three games left this week.

• Start Cooley in all three remaining games (Thursday, Sunday, Tuesday) if he is rostered.

• Target Cooley as a priority add if you need center depth and scoring upside.
