Hockey Club's Michael Carcone: Assist streak at three games
Rotowire
Carcone logged an assist in Tuesday's 7-1 loss to the Oilers.
Carcone has gotten on the scoresheet in four of his last five games, including earning an assist in three straight contests. The 28-year-old is up to 17 points, 71 shots on net, 45 hits, 36 PIM and a minus-4 rating through 48 appearances. Even with less security in the lineup in 2024-25, he's within striking distance of the 20-point mark for the second year in a row. However, Carcone's fourth-line role largely limits his fantasy appeal in most formats.

Carcone notched an assist and two shots on goal in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Kraken.
Carcone has a goal and an assist over his last three outings. The 28-year-old continues to maintain a spot in Utah's bottom six, and he's capable of chipping in some depth scoring, though usually not consistently enough to help in fantasy.

Carcone is set to miss his second straight game. He has five goals, 13 points, 29 PIM and 43 hits in 41 outings with Utah in 2024-25. Liam O'Brien might stay in the lineup due to Carcone's continued absence.

Hockey Club's Michael Carcone: Bags helper in loss
Rotowire
Carcone notched an assist in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Kings.
Carcone has a point in three straight contests (one goal, two assists). He continues to fill in on the second line, though that's likely to end once Logan Cooley (lower body) returns -- and Cooley returned to practice in a non-contact jersey earlier in the week. Carcone is now at 13 points, 61 shots on net, 38 hits, 27 PIM and a minus-7 rating over 39 appearances. He's got the versatility to handle a larger role at times, but he's best deployed in a bottom-six spot.

Hockey Club's Michael Carcone: Finds twine Sunday
Rotowire
Carcone scored a goal in Sunday's 5-4 shootout win over the Capitals.
Carcone has two goals and an assist over his last seven contests, but he's also gone minus-2 in that span. The 28-year-old forward is taking advantage of a chance on the second line -- his tally Sunday was set up by Dylan Guenther. Carcone is now at five goals, 12 points, 60 shots on net, 37 hits and a minus-7 rating through 38 appearances. He may have some deep-league fantasy appeal if he stays on the second line, but he'll likely drop down the lineup once Logan Cooley (lower body) is able to return.

Hockey Club's Michael Carcone: Adds power-play helper
Rotowire
Carcone notched a power-play assist, two shots on goal, two hits and a minus-4 rating in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Hurricanes.
Carcone has played in six straight games after spending the bulk of January as a healthy scratch. The 28-year-old was on the second line at even strength in Saturday's outing, though he didn't play very well higher in the lineup. Carcone's helper gives him 11 points (two on the power play) through 37 appearances this season, and he's added 59 shots on net, 37 hits, 27 PIM and a minus-8 rating. He's likely better suited to bottom-six minutes, but he probably won't score enough in any role to help most fantasy managers.

Hockey Club's Michael Carcone: Pots goal Wednesday
Rotowire
Carcone netted a goal on three shots and added two hits in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Penguins.
In a rare occurrence, Utah had both Carcone and Liam O'Brien in the lineup, while Matias Maccelli was scratched. Carcone got the better assignment on the third line and cashed in with his fourth goal of the season, snapping a five-game point drought. The 28-year-old was scratched for eight of the previous 11 contests, so his place in the lineup is far from safe. Carcone has 10 points, 54 shots on net, 28 hits, 23 PIM and a minus-4 rating over 32 outings in a bottom-six role.

Hockey Club's Michael Carcone: Losing playing time in January
Rotowire
Carcone has been scratched for seven of the last nine games after sitting out Thursday's 4-0 win over the Wild.
Carcone played regularly in November and December. The 28-year-old was moderately productive, but he's since been replaced by Liam O'Brien on the fourth line. Carcone is at nine points, 50 shots on net, 25 hits, 23 PIM and a minus-4 rating over 30 appearances this season, so most fantasy managers won't need to track his playing time.

Hockey Club's Michael Carcone: Earns assist
Rotowire
Carcone managed an assist in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Stars.
Carcone has contributed six points over his last 11 outings, though he had gone quiet in the three games prior to Monday. The 28-year-old helped out on linemate Kevin Stenlund's first-period tally. For the season, Carcone has eight points, 42 shots on net, 21 PIM and 20 hits through 24 appearances. He's not particularly physical for a fourth-liner, but he can agitate and provide modest depth scoring.

Hockey Club's Michael Carcone: Deposits goal in win
Rotowire
Carcone scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Sharks.
Carcone continues to contribute from a fourth-line role. He has three goals and two assists over his last seven contests, and he even featured on the second power-play unit Saturday. The 28-year-old forward is up to three goals, seven points, 39 shots on net, 14 hits, 19 PIM and an even plus-minus rating over 20 appearances. If he can sustain his recent success on offense, he may be worth a look in deep fantasy formats, but his appeal is limited given his role.

Hockey Club's Michael Carcone: Provides helper Tuesday
Rotowire
Carcone notched an assist in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Wild.
Carcone has two goals and two assists over his last five outings, including a point in each of the last three games. The 28-year-old's success has come alongside improved offense from linemate Kevin Stenlund. Carcone probably won't sustain his recent output, but it should be enough to keep him in the lineup. The forward has six points, 36 shots on net, 19 PIM and a plus-1 rating through 18 contests.

Rotowire
Carcone scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Flyers.
Carcone has two goals and an assist over his last four contests. The 28-year-old remains in a fourth-line role, but he's starting to show flashes of the productivity that made him an intriguing waiver-wire add in fantasy in 2023-24. He's now at two goals, five points, 36 shots on net, 19 PIM and a plus-3 rating over 17 appearances this season.

Hockey Club's Michael Carcone: Sends helper in win
Rotowire
Carcone notched an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Sabres.
Carcone has a goal and an assist over his last three games. The 28-year-old didn't have any luck early in the season, but he's starting to stabilize in a fourth-line role and getting some power-play time has helped.

Hockey Club's Michael Carcone: Nets first goal of campaign
Rotowire
Carcone scored a goal on four shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Golden Knights.
Carcone has carved out a fourth-line role in November, playing in 11 straight contests. His goal was his first of the season, though he was overshadowed by top-line winger Nick Schmaltz, who lit the lamp for the first time in 2024-25. Carcone stunned the league with a 21-goal campaign in 2023-24, and that's unlikely to be repeated this season -- he's at three points, 28 shots on net, 10 hits, 19 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 14 appearances. He's not guaranteed to be in the lineup regularly, but he is seemingly ahead of Liam O'Brien on the depth chart.

Hockey Club's Michael Carcone: Gets on scoresheet with two assists
Rotowire
Carcone provided two assists -- one on the power play -- and five shots on goal in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Penguins.
These were Carcone's first two points of the season. The 28-year-old has played in seven straight games after being a scratch for most of October. He's added nine hits, 17 PIM, 18 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating through 10 appearances this season. With Utah settling back into playing the traditional six defensemen and 12 forwards, Carcone looks to have established himself in the lineup over the more physical Liam O'Brien.

Hockey Club's Michael Carcone: Falling out of favor
Rotowire
Carcone was scratched for the sixth consecutive game when he sat out Wednesday's contest versus the Flames.
Carcone has played in just three of Utah's first 11 games this season, recording two shots on goal, three hits and a minus-2 rating. The 28-year-old was a pleasant surprise in the Coyotes' final season, earning 21 goals, eight assists, 111 shots on net and 35 PIM over 74 regular-season contests, but with Utah looking to integrate more prospects, there hasn't been a spot for Carcone most of the time. Utah dressed seven defensemen Wednesday -- once the team goes back to a traditional 12-forward, six-defensemen lineup, Carcone will compete with Liam O'Brien for playing time.
