Cotter logged an assist, two shots on goal and nine hits in Tuesday's 5-4 double-overtime loss to the Hurricanes in Game 5.
Scouting Report
Capable of playing different roles up front, he has pushed his way into the NHL thanks to his combination of size and speed, along with a good scoring touch. He is learning to move without the puck to put himself in scoring position, which could enable him to play higher up in the lineup. Is willing to use his body and finish checks, and his offensive skills should continue to improve as he approaches his prime.
Long Range Potential: Versatile scoring forward.
