Kolesar scored a goal on three shots and added four hits in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Devils. - Kolesar got loose on the rush and tallied at 17:37 of the second period to tie the game at 1-1. This was just his second point in seven games in April, as he's struggled to get much offense going in a fourth-line role. The 25-year-old has still taken a step forward for the season with seven goals, 16 helpers, 90 shots, 237 hits, 68 PIM and a minus-6 rating through 75 contests. |

Kolesar (upper body) was shaken up on a hit in the first period of Wednesday's game versus the Kraken, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports. - Kolesar did not join the Golden Knights after either intermission, though the team did not officially rule him out for the game. The winger also fought Kraken defenseman Jamie Oleksiak prior to his exit. More information on Kolesar's status should surface before Friday's rematch with the Kraken -- the Golden Knights can hardly afford to lose another forward after rolling a seven-defensemen lineup Wednesday. |

Kolesar notched an assist and nine hits in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Panthers. - Kolesar has earned an assist in two of his last three games, and he took his physicality to a new level with a season-high nine hits Thursday. The 24-year-old winger has been a reliable part of the Golden Knights' bottom six with 20 points, 169 hits, 76 shots on net, 59 PIM and a minus-5 rating in 62 contests. The only game he's missed this season was as a healthy scratch. |

Kolesar notched an assist and went minus-2 in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Blue Jackets. - Kolesar snapped his six-game point drought with the helper on Evgenii Dadonov's second-period tally. Offense is a secondary part of Kolesar's physical playing style. The 24-year-old winger has 19 points, 76 shots on net, 157 hits, 54 PIM and a minus-3 rating through 60 contests. He's been one of the most consistent parts of the Golden Knights' lineup in an injury-plagued season for the team, but his limited scoring capability diminishes his potential for fantasy managers. |

Kolesar scored a goal, doled out three hits and added two PIM in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Sharks. - Kolesar converted on a crafty pass from Brett Howden at the 2:16 mark of the first period. This was Kolesar's second goal in his last four games, though he's more known for his physical play than his scoring. The 24-year-old's up to six goals, 18 points, 71 shots on net, 137 hits and 47 PIM in 53 contests. |

Kolesar scored a goal and added two PIM in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Sharks. - Kolesar struck at 10:14 of the first period, and the Golden Knights led the rest of the way. This was his first goal in three games. The winger was a healthy scratch in Jack Eichel's first game, but Nolan Patrick's upper-body injury has allowed Kolesar to retake a spot on the fourth line. Kolesar has five goals, 17 points, 69 shots on net, 132 hits, 43 PIM and a plus-1 rating in 50 appearances this season. |
None |
| Feb. 1, 2022 |
Kolesar scored a shorthanded goal, levied four hits and added two PIM in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Sabres. - Kolesar got loose for a goal at 4:27 of the second period on a feed from Brett Howden. The 24-year-old Kolesar hadn't picked up a shorthanded point prior to Tuesday's tally. The Manitoba native is up to a career-high four goals, 16 points, 63 shots on net, 125 hits and 41 PIM through 46 appearances this season. He's emerged as a fixture in the Golden Knights' bottom six. |
None |
| Jan. 26, 2022 |
Kolesar produced an assist and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Hurricanes. - Kolesar had been held off the scoresheet in his last three games before setting up Nolan Patrick's second-period tally. The 24-year-old Kolesar has a career-high 15 points with 57 shots on net, 118 hits and 35 PIM in 43 games this season. He'll typically play more of a checking role on the Golden Knights' third line. |
None |
| Jan. 11, 2022 |
Kolesar scored a power-play goal on two shots in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Maple Leafs. - Kolesar tied the game at 1-1 with his first career power-play tally in the first period. The 24-year-old saw time on the power play with Nicolas Roy entering the COVID-19 protocols before Tuesday's game. Kolesar is up to three goals, a career-best 14 points, 53 shots on net, 103 hits, 33 PIM and a plus-1 rating through 39 appearances. He could continue to see a slightly larger role in the short term, though his fantasy appeal likely remains limited to deeper formats. |

| Jan. 6, 2022 |
Kolesar notched an assist and five hits in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Rangers. - Kolesar set up Mattias Janmark's second-period tally. The 24-year-old Kolesar remains steady in a third-line role with a goal and four helpers in his last nine contests. The Manitoba native has matched his 13-point out from 44 games last season in just 37 outings this year. He's added 50 shots on net, 97 hits and a plus-2 rating in 2021-22. |
None |
| Jan. 2, 2022 |
Kolesar managed an assist, four shots on goal, four hits and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Jets. - Kolesar set up Michael Amadio for the opening tally at 13:05 of the first period. While far from a regular contributor on offense, Kolesar has a goal and three assists in his last seven outings. The third-liner is up to 12 points, 49 shots, 89 hits, 28 PIM and a plus-3 rating in 35 contests. He needs one point to match his output from last season. |
None |

Kolesar notched an assist and went plus-2 in Friday's 3-2 shootout win over the Rangers. - For the second straight game, Kolesar and the Golden Knights' fourth line made a contribution on offense. The 24-year-old forward is on track for career year. He has 10 points, 41 shots on net, 78 hits and 23 PIM through 30 appearances. |
None |
| Dec. 16, 2021 |
Kolesar posted an assist and two hits in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Devils. - Kolesar set up William Carrier for a go-ahead goal in the second period. The 24-year-old Kolesar continues to be an occasional contributor on offense, as he has just two assists through eight games in December. The Manitoba native is up to nine points, 77 hits, 41 shots on net, 23 PIM and a minus-2 rating in 29 outings overall as a bottom-six forward. |
None |
| Dec. 8, 2021 |
Kolesar provided an assist and logged two hits in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Stars. - Kolesar set up linemate Michael Amadio for a third-period tally. The assist ended a four-game point drought for Kolesar. The 24-year-old is up to eight points, 39 shots on net, 68 hits, 23 PIM and a minus-2 rating in 25 contests. While he's seen some time in a middle-six role this year, he'll likely remain in a fourth-line capacity as long as the Golden Knights' forward group stays healthy. |
None |
| Nov. 24, 2021 |
Kolesar notched an assist in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Predators. - Kolesar set up Adam Brooks' first goal as a Golden Knight at 11:12 of the second period. The 24-year-old Kolesar has chipped in with a goal and four assists in his last six games. That's an unusually productive run for the hard-hitting winger. He's at seven points, 61 hits, 36 shots on net, 18 PIM and a minus-2 rating in 20 contests overall. |
None |
| Nov. 20, 2021 |
Kolesar scored a goal on two shots, dished an assist, logged four hits, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jackets. - Kolesar did a little bit of everything Saturday, most notably scored his first goal of the season at 7:07 of the second period to spark the Golden Knights' comeback. The 24-year-old played on the third line in this contest -- his physical style is more suited to a bottom-six role. Through 18 outings, Kolesar has six points, 36 shots on net, 58 hits, 18 PIM and a minus-3 rating. |
None |
| Nov. 18, 2021 |
Kolesar logged an assist and three hits in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Red Wings. - Kolesar set up a Paul Cotter goal with 54 seconds left in the second period. The 24-year-old Kolesar has two helpers in his last three games, but he's struggled to produce offense in a more prominent role. The winger has just four helpers to go with 54 hits, 34 shots on net and 16 PIM through 17 appearances. Once the Golden Knights get Jonathan Marchessault out of COVID-19 protocols, Kolesar should return to a bottom-six assignment. |
None |
| Nov. 13, 2021 |
Kolesar logged an assist, five shots on goal and three hits in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Canucks. - Kolesar had a hand in Jake Leschyshyn's first NHL goal at 2:20 of the third period. The assist ended an eight-game point drought for Kolesar, who has faded after a respectable start to the season. The tough winger has three helpers, 33 shots on net, 48 hits, 14 PIM and a minus-3 rating in 15 contests. He'll likely remain in a bottom-six role, especially as the Golden Knights get players back from injury. |
