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.

Delivers two assists Wednesday

November 14, 2024
Kesselring delivered two assists while adding one shot on goal, three hits and two blocked shots in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Hurricanes.
ANALYSIS
Kesselring delivered his second multi-point effort of the season and is slowly finding some consistency, as he's now cracked the scoresheet in three of his last six outings. Even though his role as a third-pairing defenseman limits his upside considerably, he's putting up decent numbers. With nine points across 16 outings, he looks on pace to set career-best figures if he stays healthy. His best production came in 2023-24, when he recorded 21 points in 65 games with the Coyotes.
