Date News Advice
Nov. 28, 2024 Kotkaniemi scored a goal on three shots in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Rangers. - Kotkaniemi has three points over his last six contests. In that span, he's dropped from the second line to the fourth line, swapping spots with Jack Drury. Kotkaniemi is up to three goals, 10 helpers, 44 shots on net and a plus-8 rating over 22 outings this season. He's had trouble sustaining offense over long stretches, but he can be an effective depth scorer in bursts. He shouldn't be relied on for power-play production. None
Nov. 23, 2024 Kotkaniemi provided an assist in Saturday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Blue Jackets. - Kotkaniemi set up a Jackson Blake goal in the second period, which came after the former was moved to the fourth line. Kotkaniemi saw a season-low 9:36 of ice time, and it's unclear if his demotion was a one-game thing or something to be watched moving forward. Jack Drury moved up to the second line in the swap. Kotkaniemi has been inconsistent in November with a goal and four assists over 11 appearances, and he's at 12 points, 41 shots on net, 16 PIM and a plus-9 rating through 20 outings overall. None
Nov. 17, 2024 Kotkaniemi notched an assist and went plus-3 in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Blues. - Kotkaniemi didn't enjoy the offensive success of his linemates -- Martin Necas had two goals and two assists while Eric Robinson added a goal and two helpers. Still, Kotkaniemi has three points over his last four games and may be getting back to a more acceptable level of offense after struggling early in November. The 24-year-old is at two goals, nine assists, 40 shots on net, 14 PIM, 13 hits and a plus-10 rating through 17 outings overall. None
Nov. 12, 2024 Kotkaniemi registered a goal, an assist and six shots on goal in Monday's 5-2 win over the Golden Knights. - Kotkaniemi snapped a three-game pointless streak and a four-game scoring drought with his goal and assist in the first period of Monday's win. Kotkaniemi only has two goals this season, but he's been very good as a playmaker with eight helpers across 14 appearances thus far. None
Nov. 1, 2024 Kotkaniemi scored a goal and added four PIM in Thursday's 8-2 win over the Bruins. - Kotkaniemi has had a strong start to the year, though his goal in the third period Thursday was his first tally of the season. The 24-year-old has done this before -- he posted 10 points in 10 games last October before adding just 17 points over the rest of the 2023-24 regular season. He's at seven points, 15 shots on net, 10 PIM and a plus-4 rating through nine contests this campaign, but fantasy managers may want to see him sustain that offense a bit longer before adding him to their rosters. None
Oct. 23, 2024 Kotkaniemi notched an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Oilers. - Kotkaniemi helped out on Martin Necas' game-tying goal with 6:31 left in the third period.

The 24-year-old's career high in points is 43, set during the 2022-23 campaign. None
April 6, 2024 Kotkaniemi logged 9:57 of ice time in Friday's 4-2 win over the Capitals after sitting out the previous game as a healthy scratch. - Kotkaniemi's average TOI of 12:47 is a bit misleading, considering he's seen less than 10 minutes of action in seven of his past 11 games. He's also recorded just one assist over that span, which shouldn't be surprising considering he's been seeing mostly fourth-line duty. He shouldn't be on anyone's fantasy roster right now. None
March 10, 2024 Kotkaniemi scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Devils. - Kotkaniemi's stock has really fallen in Raleigh since the start of the season. He saw his second-lowest TOI of the season Saturday (8:06) and has averaged just 10:16 over his last 15 games, with only four points to his credit over that span. With the recently acquired Jake Guentzel (lower body) expected to join the lineup at some point, Kotkaniemi might soon be the odd man out for the Hurricanes. None
Feb. 19, 2024 Kotkaniemi scored a goal on three shots and added two PIM in Monday's 6-3 win over the Blackhawks. - Kotkaniemi snapped a goal drought dating back to Dec. 19 when he scored against the Golden Knights. In the 22 games between tallies, the center managed a measly three assists. He's at 10 goals, 20 points, 104 shots on net, 41 hits, 32 PIM and a minus-9 rating through 55 outings, but the majority of that production came in the first two months of the campaign -- he has not been a strong fantasy option lately. None
Feb. 17, 2024 Kotkaniemi registered an assist and three shots on goal in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Golden Knights. - The helper put an end to Kotkaniemi's 12-game point drought, which saw him rack up just 14 shots on goal with 11 hits and a minus-4 rating. The 23-year-old also flipped spots in the lineup with Jack Drury -- Kotkaniemi has been centering the fourth line lately. After a breakout first month of the campaign, Kotkaniemi has crashed back with just six points over his last 40 outings. He's at 19 points, 101 shots on net, 40 hits, 30 PIM and a minus-10 rating through 54 appearances. None

He's currently toiling on the Canes' fourth line, but given the sharp decline in his TOI, it may be just a matter of time before Kotkaniemi is watching from the press box. None
Jan. 6, 2024 Kotkaniemi managed an assist in Friday's 6-2 win over the Capitals. - Kotkaniemi averaged a point per game in October, the season's first month, but he's cooled off considerably since then. The Finn is no longer seeing action on the team's fourth-ranked power play (28.2), and his assist Friday gives him just eight apples and 17 total points to counter a minus-7 rating through 39 games. There are plenty of wingers that fall below Kotkaniemi in general statistical ranks, but we're still waiting for that full-blown breakout campaign that would justify the Canadiens originally drafting him with third overall pick in 2018. After putting up a career-high 43 points (18 goals, 25 assists) with Carolina in 2022-23, Kotkaniemi has an uphill battle to meet the mark this time around. None
Dec. 10, 2023 Kotkaniemi extended his current scoring drought to six games in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Canucks. - Kotkaniemi started the season with a very solid 13 points in 14 games (6G, 7A). However, he's been ice cold since then with just two goals in his last 13 contests. He's been skating primarily on the third line lately, seeing just 12:08 of ice time -- his third-lowest TOI of the season. If you have other options on your fantasy bench right now, it would be wise to use them. None
Nov. 26, 2023 Kotkaniemi scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jackets. - Kotkaniemi's tally snapped a five-game point drought. The 23-year-old had a good start to the year, but it'll be interesting to see how he responds to his first taste of adversity in 2023-24. He's at seven goals, 14 points, 44 shots on net, 16 hits, 14 PIM and a minus-3 rating through 20 contests for a Hurricanes team that has performed a little under the expected level. None
Nov. 4, 2023 Kotkaniemi scored a goal and added an assist in a 4-3 overtime win over the Islanders. - He tied the game 3-3 with a one-timer power-play goal at 15:26 of the third frame. Kotkaniemi is taking that big leap forward -- he has five goals and seven assists in 12 games this season. None

Oct. 19, 2023 Kotkaniemi scored a goal on four shots in Thursday's 7-4 loss to the Kraken. - Kotkaniemi got the Hurricanes within a goal in the third period. It's too early to say if the 23-year-old is ready for a breakout year, but he's certainly laying the groundwork. He has two goals, three assists, 14 shots on net, eight PIM and a minus-3 rating through five contests while centering the second line. None
Oct. 17, 2023 Kotkaniemi recorded two assists, three shots on goal and two PIM in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Sharks. - Kotkaniemi played a role in the Hurricanes' four-goal third period, setting up tallies from Stefan Noesen and Brett Pesce.

He's still centering the second line, though he's seen less ice time than third-line center Jordan Staal, who handles the tougher defensive assignments. None
May 5, 2023 Kotkaniemi tallied two goals in a 6-1 victory over New Jersey in Game 2 on Friday. - Kotkaniemi supplied a pair of markers in the span of just 2:23 early in the second period to put Carolina up 2-0.

Whether this is the start of a trend remains to be seen, however Kotkaniemi did see a big bump in his ice time against the Isles (18:12 versus 11:08 the previous game), so hopefully it's a sign of better things to come for the 22-year-old Finn. None
Nov. 20, 2022 Kotkaniemi failed to register a point for the seventh straight game Saturday against the Wild. He now has just three points (1G, 2A) in 18 games this season. - Much more was expected of Kotkaniemi this year after the 22-year old Finn signed an eight-year, $38.5 million extension with the Canes back in March. Needless to say, he will have to bust out in a big way to have any hope of matching his 12-goal, 29-point season from a year ago. For now, he continues to skate mainly on the team's second line with Andrei Svechnikov and Seth Jarvis. None
Nov. 4, 2022 Kotkaniemi scored a goal and added two PIM in Friday's 5-3 win over the Sabres. - Kotkaniemi hadn't scored all year, and he'd gone seven games without a point entering Friday. He changed that with a third-period marker, which ended up as the game-winning goal.

The 22-year-old Kotkaniemi is up to two assists and a plus-4 rating in three games, but he's not doing much else to generate his own offense.

Both of Kotkaniemi's assists in the postseason came in the second round after he was held off the scoresheet altogether in the first round.

May 19, 2022 Kotkaniemi recorded one assist, two shots and one block in 9:07 of ice time versus the Rangers on Wednesday. - Kotkaniemi logged his fewest minutes of the postseason, in part due to the lack of power-play ice time. With his tally, the 21-year-old winger brought a seven-game pointless streak to a close but shouldn't be expected to provide much in the way of offensive support without opportunities with the man advantage. None
April 28, 2022 Kotkaniemi (lower body) had a goal and two assists in Thursday's 6-3 win over New Jersey. - Kotkaniemi didn't take long to make an impact in his return from a five-game absence.

Kotkaniemi has missed 9 of Carolina's last 11 games due to this issue, so at this point there's no telling when he might be ready to rejoin the lineup. None
April 18, 2022 Kotkaniemi will not be available versus the Coyotes on Monday but is considered day-to-day, Sara Civian of The Athletic reports. - Kotkaniemi was just two games back from a long-term injury absence that saw him miss eight games. It's not immediately clear if the two injuries are related but it's certainly not good news for a Hurricanes squad that will also be without Jordan Staal (upper body) and suddenly finds itself rather thin down the middle. Where Kotkaniemi fits into the lineup upon his return to action will likely depend on if Staal is available, though top-six might be a stretch for Kotkaniemi at this point. None
April 14, 2022 Kotkaniemi (undisclosed) will return to the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Red Wings, Sara Civian of The Athletic reports. - Kotkaniemi will likely return to a middle-six role following his eight-game absence.

The 21-year-old winger was injured on a hit from Lars Eller in Monday's victory over Washington. Carolina's next game is Thursday against Montreal, but it sounds like Kotkaniemi could miss multiple games. None
March 28, 2022 Kotkaniemi (undisclosed) was injured during Monday's 6-1 win over Washington, Sara Civian of The Athletic reports. - Kotkaniemi took a high hit from Lars Eller near the end of the blowout victory and head coach Rod Brind'Amour said that it "doesn't look good." He tallied an assist and a plus-2 rating in 13:20 of ice time before the injury. Carolina is back in action Tuesday against the Lightning and it appears that the 21-year-old will likely miss that game. An update on his status should be available in the coming days. None
Feb. 11, 2022 Kotkaniemi has cleared the NHL's COVID-19 protocols and has joined the Hurricanes in Minnesota ahead of Saturday's matchup with the Wild, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports. - The Hurricanes will return home for a Wednesday night matchup with the Panthers following Saturday's contest, so the fact that Kotkaniemi made the trip to Minnesota suggests he should be an option against the Wild. He's tallied nine goals and 20 points thorugh 42 contests this season. None
Feb. 6, 2022 Kotkaniemi was placed in COVID protocol Sunday. - The league isn't testing asymptomatic players anymore, so Kotkaniemi is likely experiencing symptoms. He'll sit out Monday's game in Toronto and will be hard-pressed to test out of the protocol in time to return Tuesday in Ottawa. None
Jan. 19, 2022 Kotkaniemi scored two goals on five shots with a plus-3 rating in Tuesday's 7-1 win over the Bruins. - The former Hab ended a three-game point drought and a six-game goalless stretch with the outburst, and his first tally of the night wound up being the game-winner.

Jan. 7, 2022 Kotkaniemi notched an assist, two hits and two PIM in Friday's 6-3 win over the Flames. - Kotkaniemi set up Brady Skjei's insurance tally in the third period. The assist extended Kotkaniemi's point streak to six games, during which he has one goal and seven helpers. The Finn probably still needs to prove himself a bit more on offense, as he's yet to be much of a consistent scorer in his career. This season, he's at seven tallies, nine assists, 43 shots on net and 42 hits in 32 contests. None
Dec. 31, 2021 Kotkaniemi had a pair of assists in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Canadiens, extending his current point streak to four games (1G, 6A). - After a dismal start to the season (three points in his first 15 games), Kotkaniemi seems to have finally found his stride and has been much more consistent of late, with 12 points in his last 15 contests.

Dec. 18, 2021 Kotkaniemi had a goal and an assist in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Kings. - Kotkaniemi buried a rebound just 37 seconds into the game after Jonathan Quick couldn't secure the puck under this left pad.

Dec. 12, 2021 Kotkaniemi recorded an assist in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Canucks. - Kotkaniemi snapped a five-game point drought with the helper on Martin Necas' goal in the third period. Through 27 games, Kotkaniemi has six goals, three helpers, 31 shots on net and 31 hits in his first year with the Hurricanes.

Nov. 26, 2021 Kotkaniemi scored the game-winning goal and added an assist in Friday's 6-3 victory over the Flyers. - Both points came in the second period, as the Hurricanes pulled away after falling behind 3-2. Kotkaniemi had only one point (a goal) in his prior 11 games, and so far the $6.1 million offer sheet Carolina gave the 21-year-old to steal him away from Montreal is looking like a poor investment as he has just four goals and six points through 19 contests for his new club. None
Nov. 14, 2021 Kotkaniemi skated a season low 9:51 in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Blues. - After scoring a respectable three points in his first seven games, Kotkaniemi is now riding a six-game pointless skid and his ice time has declined accordingly.

2024-11-28 analysis Kotkaniemi has three points over his last six contests. In that span, he's dropped from the second line to the fourth line, swapping spots with Jack Drury. Kotkaniemi is up to three goals, 10 helpers, 44 shots on net and a plus-8 rating over 22 outings this season. He's had trouble sustaining offense over long stretches, but he can be an effective depth scorer in bursts. He shouldn't be relied on
2024-11-28 update Kotkaniemi scored a goal on three shots in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Rangers.

Kotkaniemi has been inconsistent in November with a goal and four assists over 11 appe

2024-11-12 update Kotkaniemi registered a goal, an assist and six shots on goal in Monday's 5-2 win over the Golden Knights.
2024-11-01 analysis Kotkaniemi has had a strong start to the year, though his goal in the third period Thursday was his first tally of the season.
