Picks up helper on game-winner Dillon notched an assist and three hits in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Dillon has a goal and four assists over his last seven contests. He helped out on Nikolaj Ehlers' go-ahead goal with 1:05 left in the third period Thursday, which was enough to earn the win. Dillon's recent play on offense is not the norm for him, but he's having a strong campaign. The 33-year-old is at 15 points, 38 shots on net, 105 hits, 62 blocked shots, 51 PIM and a plus-17 rating through 41 appearances, putting him on pace for career-high numbers on offense for the second year in a row.

Registers assist in win Dillon notched an assist and three hits in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Sharks.

Impact Dillon has a helper in three straight contests. The 33-year-old blueliner is capable of the occasional burst of offense, but he remains a mainly physical presence on the Jets' second pairing. He's up to 13 points, 97 hits, 56 blocked shots, 49 PIM, 32 shots on net and a plus-13 rating through 37 appearances. Dillon is on pace to top the career-best 23 points he had in 82 games last season.

Nets lone goal in loss Dillon scored a goal in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Sharks.

Impact Dillon's shot late in the first period squeaked through Mackenzie Blackwood to tie the game at 1-1. The 33-year-old Dillon has a goal and an assist over his last two outings, following his recent eight-game point drought. The physical blueliner is up to five goals, four assists, 26 shots on net, 38 PIM, 74 hits, 41 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating through 27 contests this season.

Logs assist Dillon provided an assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Ducks.

Impact Dillon snapped an eight-game point drought with the helper. Prior to the slump, he had a stretch of seven points over seven games, but the hard-nosed blueliner was never going to sustain that scoring pace. He's collected eight points, 25 shots on net, 73 hits, 41 blocked shots, 38 PIM and a plus-8 rating through 26 outings this season. His fantasy value is low in standard formats, but he can be a helpful depth piece in deeper formats that reward physical play.

Expected to play Sunday Dillon (undisclosed) is on the ice for warmups and is expected to suit up against Nashville on Sunday, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.

Impact Dillon was considered a game-time call but won't be forced to miss any action. The 33-year-old has dressed in all 19 of Winnpeg's games leading up to Sunday, tallying four goals and seven points in the process. All seven of his points have come in his last nine appearances.

Game-time decision Dillon (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision Sunday versus Nashville, according to Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site.

Impact Dillon, who didn't take part in the morning skate Sunday, logged just 14:48 of ice time in Friday's 3-0 win over Florida. He has contributed four goals, seven points, 28 blocked shots and 52 hits in 19 games this season. If Dillon can't play, Logan Stanley is expected to replace him in the lineup.

Extends hot streak Dillon scored a goal on two shots and added a team-high five hits, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 3-2 loss to Dallas.

Impact Facing the team he spent his first three-plus NHL seasons with, Dillon found the back of the net for the fourth time in the last four games while also delivering five hits for the third time in the last five. The physical blueliner is already just two goals shy of his career high -- set in 2013-14 with the Stars -- and he's provided strong all-around fantasy production with four goals and five points, 39 hits, 24 PIM, 17 blocked shots, 17 shots on net and a plus-3 rating through 14 contests.

Scores third goal of 2023-24 Dillon found the back of the net in a 6-3 win over Nashville on Thursday.

Impact Dillon's marker came midway through the third period to extend Winnipeg's lead to 5-2. It was his third goal and fourth point in 13 contests this season. Dillon is more of a defensive defenseman and doesn't typically receive power-play ice time, but he has accumulated 22 PIM and 34 hits this year.

Busts slump with three points Dillon scored his first two goals of the season, including the game-winner, and added an assist in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Coyotes.

Impact The veteran blueliner had been held off the scoresheet completely through the first 10 games of the season, but Dillon broke out in a big way in Arizona. His second tally, coming early in the third period, proved to be the GWG as he took a pass at the Coyotes blue line, skated into the faceoff circle and blasted a slapshot past Karel Vejmelka. Dillon has contributed in other ways during his scoring drought, and he has 28 hits, 20 PIM, 17 blocked shots, 13 shots on goal and a minsu-1 rating on the season.

NOVEMBER 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Still searching for first point Dillon was held scoreless in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss against the Rangers.

Impact Dillon has been blanked in each of his first nine games. He ended Monday's outing with a minus-1 rating, two shots on goal, a minor penalty and a hit in his 22:17 of ice time. Dillon is a solid stay-at-home defenseman on the team's second pairing, and he has way more value to his real team than to fantasy managers. The Jets travel to meet the Golden Knights on Thursday.
