24-Year-Old DefensemanD
Utah Hockey Club
2024 Fantasy Outlook
After a solid rookie campaign, in which Kesselring put up five goals, 16 assists and 106 hits in 65 games, Utah HC rewarded the 24-year-old blueliner with a two-year, $2.8 million contract back in late June. It's certainly not the NHL's wealthiest deal by any stretch, but it is a sign that the club is expecting the towering defenseman to be a full-time NHL contributor moving forward. Offensively, the South Carolina native shouldn't be expected to offer significantly more than he did as a rookie but he could see an uptick in hits and blocked shots as his minutes and responsibilities increase heading into 2024-25.

Records helper Tuesday

October 8, 2024
Kesselring posted an assist, two hits, two blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Blackhawks.
ANALYSIS
Kesselring set up the first goal in Utah's NHL history, finding Dylan Guenther for the tally at 4:56 of the first period. As a rookie last year, Kesselring was steady with 21 points, 106 hits, 66 PIM, 59 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating over 65 appearances. He's not guaranteed a spot in Utah's lineup this season, but his playing time should be safe at least until John Marino (upper body) returns.
