Hockey Club's Matias Maccelli: Still stuck in press box
Rotowire
Maccelli was scratched for the 17th time in 20 games since the start of March when he sat out Saturday's 5-3 win over the Stars.
Maccelli had a three-game run in the lineup from March 20-24, notching three shots on net in fourth-line minutes. He's been back in the press box for the last nine contests and doesn't look likely to be a factor to close out the campaign. He's at 18 points, 85 shots on net and a minus-13 rating over 55 appearances, a massive decline from the 57-point season he had in 2023-24. He'll be entering a contract year in 2025-26.

Hockey Club's Matias Maccelli: Falls out of favor
Rotowire
Maccelli was scratched for the ninth game in a row in Monday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Maple Leafs.
Utah has opted to go in a more physical direction by keeping Liam O'Brien and Michael Carcone in the lineup over Maccelli, whose path to playing time will get even tougher once Nick Bjugstad (upper body) returns. Maccelli's had a rough year, though he had an assist in his last appearance Feb. 8 versus the Hurricanes. The 24-year-old playmaking winger has been limited to 18 points, 82 shots on net and a minus-13 rating over 52 appearances, a huge decline compared to his 57-point effort in 2023-24.

Hockey Club's Matias Maccelli: Snags power-play assist
Rotowire
Maccelli provided a power-play assist in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Hurricanes.
Maccelli's playing time has started to waver -- he's been in a bottom-six role lately and was scratched twice in the previous five contests. He helped out on a Josh Doan tally in Saturday's games. Maccelli has struggled this season, earning 18 points (three on the power play), 82 shots on net and a minus-13 rating over 52 appearances. Utah's influx of prospects into the top six has negatively impacted Maccelli's ability to serve as a playmaker on a scoring line, hence the drop in his production after a 57-point 2023-24 campaign.

Hockey Club's Matias Maccelli: Scores, takes three shots Monday
Rotowire
Maccelli had a goal and took three shots in Monday's 5-2 win over the Jets.
Maccelli found the back of the net in the third period and tallied his eighth goal of the campaign. The 24-year-old winger is far from being the most productive player on the Utah roster, but he's going through a prolific stretch with five goals and six points over his last eight contests.

Hockey Club's Matias Maccelli: Pots pair of goals
Rotowire
Maccelli scored twice on five shots in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Rangers.
Maccelli had both of Utah's goals in the first period. He's scored in just four contests this season, but three of those have been two-goal efforts. The 24-year-old winger is up to seven tallies, 15 points, 64 shots on net and a minus-9 rating through 43 appearances. He's getting a look on the second line -- despite his lack of production this season, he could be worth a look for fantasy managers trying to find offense.

Hockey Club's Matias Maccelli: Lends helper Tuesday
Rotowire
Maccelli registered an assist and two PIM in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Canadiens.
Maccelli is known for his playmaking, but he has struggled in that regard lately. His assist Tuesday was his first since Dec. 2, a span of 16 games in which he put up just two goals. The 24-year-old winger is up to five goals, eight helpers, 59 shots on net and a minus-8 rating through 42 appearances this season. Maccelli is getting a look on the second line with Barrett Hayton and Josh Doan, but that's a young forward trio that could get broken up eventually, and that would likely mean a return to the bottom six for Maccelli.

Hockey Club's Matias Maccelli: Scores both goals in overtime loss
Rotowire
Maccelli scored two goals on four shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Stars.
Maccelli is rarely a shoot-first player, but this was his fifth game in a row with multiple shots on net. The 24-year-old also broke a couple of significant droughts -- these goals were his first since Nov. 7 and he hadn't logged a point in his previous 12 outings. Maccelli sat out Thursday versus the Flames due to an illness, making his return to the lineup all the more surprising. The winger has five goals, seven assists, 53 shots on net and a minus-8 rating through 38 appearances in a bottom-six role, so it's too soon to tell if this is just a flash in the pan or a sign of a strong second half incoming.

Rotowire
Maccelli (illness) will draw back into the lineup Saturday versus Dallas.
Maccelli missed Utah's 5-3 win over Calgary on Thursday due to the illness. He has three goals and 10 points in 37 outings in 2024-25. Maccelli is projected to serve on the fourth line alongside Kevin Stenlund and Alex Kerfoot. Michael Carcone is exiting the lineup as a healthy scratch.

Hockey Club's Matias Maccelli: Pockets helper in loss
Rotowire
Maccelli notched an assist in Monday's 2-1 loss to the Stars.
The helper put an end to Maccelli's seven-game slump. The 24-year-old is playing on the third line, but he has fairly limited scoring upside as a pass-first winger with few contributions outside of offense. He's at 10 points, 30 shots on net and a minus-1 rating through 25 appearances -- he hasn't really found a groove this season, making it unlikely he will repeat his 57-point campaign from 2023-24.

Hockey Club's Matias Maccelli: Records helper Friday
Rotowire
Maccelli logged an assist in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Golden Knights.
Maccelli has a goal and two helpers over his last four contests. He started the year in the bottom six but has earned a second-line role more recently, and it appears to be helping his offense. The winger is up to nine points, 24 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating over 17 outings. Maccelli doesn't offer a lot of category coverage in fantasy, but he's decent as a depth scorer with power-play time.

Hockey Club's Matias Maccelli: Scores first goals of season Monday
Rotowire
Maccelli scored two goals in Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Sharks.
After going without a goal through Utah's first nine games of the season, Maccelli broke through with two tallies Monday that helped Utah build a 4-1 lead through two periods -- only for the team to collapse late in the third. Maccelli posted career highs with 17 goals and 57 points over 82 games in 2023-24, and his middle-six role and spot on the second power-play unit gives the 24-year-old winger a good chance of at least repeating that production.

Hockey Club's Matias Maccelli: Provides assist in loss
Rotowire
Maccelli notched an assist in Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Avalanche.
Maccelli has two helpers over his last three games and a total of four assists through eight contests this season. The 24-year-old winger saw 13:10 of ice time, the second game in a row he's exceeded 13 minutes. With Utah's offense going stagnant -- three goals in the last three games -- a lineup shuffle could be on the way, which could get Maccelli back into a middle-six spot. The playmaker offers minimal fantasy value in his current fourth-line role, though he has racked up 13 shots on net for the year.

Hockey Club's Matias Maccelli: Pockets helper on game-winner
Rotowire
Maccelli notched an assist, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 2-1 overtime win over the Bruins.
Maccelli hasn't been able to escape the fourth line yet this season, which has limited his offense. He has three helpers, nine shots on net and a minus-1 rating over six appearances, with one of his assists coming on the power play. Maccelli set up Michael Kesselring just after a power play expired in overtime for the game-winner Saturday. Maccelli's offense is about all he brings to the table, so until he can get into at least a middle-six role, he's not particularly intriguing for fantasy managers.

Hockey Club's Matias Maccelli: Offers helper Saturday
Rotowire
Maccelli posted an assist and three shots on goal in Saturday's 6-5 overtime win over the Rangers.
Maccelli has two assists and four shots on net over three games this season. The 23-year-old winger has gotten a little lost in the shuffle as Utah integrates more prospects into the lineup, which has left him averaging just 12:15 of ice time per game. Maccelli's top trait is his playmaking, which has kept him on the second power-play unit, but that pass-first mentality doesn't work well in a fourth-line role.

Coyotes' Matias Maccelli: Finds twine Wednesday
Rotowire
Maccelli scored a goal on two shots in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Oilers.
Maccelli finished the campaign with goals in three straight games, and he had six tallies and five assists over the last 11 contests. The 23-year-old winger took his offense up a notch with 57 points, 149 shots on net and a minus-4 rating through 82 appearances on the year. Maccelli remains a crafty middle-six playmaker and should be worth a look in the later rounds of fantasy drafts in the fall.

Maccelli scored a goal on two shots in Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Flames.
