Description: Winger Erik Cole had his first goal since joining the Dallas Stars with a first-period tally Sunday versus St. Louis.
Insight: Cole came to Dallas from Montreal in a trade for Michael Ryder last week. He has jumped onto the team's second line with Derek Roy and Antoine Roussel so far. However, he's not a must-add yet.

Description: Erik Cole will make his debut with the Dallas Stars on Thursday against the Oilers, according to the Dallas Morning News.
Insight: Cole will start on the third line with Cody Eakin and Reilly Smith. He wasn't doing much on Montreal's top line this season so we wouldn't play him.
 
2/26/2013 6:23:00 PM
Description: The Canadiens have traded Erik Cole to Dallas for Michael Ryder, according to Bob McKenzie of TSN.
Insight: Cole has just three goals in 19 games after scoring a career-high 35 last season. He spent most of this season skating with Max Pacioretty and David Desharnais, his same linemates as last season, so it's doubtful a change of scenery will help his fantasy value, even if he slots into Ryder's top six role.
 
2/23/2013 9:49:00 PM
Description: Montreal winger Erik Cole had a goal and an assist Saturday against the New York Rangers.
Insight: Cole has only mustered three goals and three assists in 18 games after scoring 35 goals last season. That's not enough to warrant a fantasy roster spot.
 
1/29/2013 10:40:00 PM
Description: Montreal winger Erik Cole scored his first goal of the season Tuesday against the Jets.
Insight: Cole is getting up there in years but also coming off a career-high 35 goals in 2011-12. He is guaranteed to get top-six minutes but there's very little chance he matches last season's pace.
 
3/28/2012 12:07:00 PM
Description: Erik Cole scored his 31st goal of the season on Tuesday, a career high.
Insight: Cole has 56 points in 77 games this season, so he's been a solid, if unspectacular, member of your lineup. Cole has also scored nine goals in March, giving you a hot player to roll with down the stretch.
 
7/1/2011 4:04:00 PM
Description: The Montreal Canadiens have signed Erik Cole to a four-year contract worth $18 million. The Canadiens have also signed goalie Peter Budaj. TSN
Insight: Cole scored 26 goals for the Canes last season, so he will fit in somewhere within the Habs' top-6 forwards. Budaj will likely back up Carey Price, but he won't play that often.

Description: Erik Cole scored two goals in the Hurricanes' 4-3 win over Tampa Bay on Friday. Yahoo Sports
