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.

Kesselring notched an assist and two PIM in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Flames.
ANALYSIS
Kesselring saw just 13:33 of ice time in this contest, but there's plenty of explanations for that. He's coming off an illness that kept him out of practice Tuesday, Utah traded for defenseman Olli Maatta and had him in the lineup and the team dressed seven blueliners. The addition of Maatta leads to some potential that Kesselring will see fewer minutes, though that loss of ice time would likely be in mostly defensive situations. Through 11 appearances, Kesselring has six points, 15 shots on net, 16 hits, nine blocked shots, 15 PIM and a plus-6 rating.
