Colin Miller - Snags assist in returnMiller produced an assist in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Flames.
ImpactMiller missed the previous five games due to a fractured larynx suffered versus the Red Wings on Jan. 4. The 32-year-old returned to a third-pairing role, but his spot in the lineup is likely up for grabs. Ville Heinola was the scratch on defense Saturday, and Haydn Fleury (lower body) will also be in the mix for playing time once he's activated from injured reserve. Miller has nine points, 40 shots on net, 46 hits, 29 blocked shots, 22 PIM and a plus-9 rating over 35 appearances this season, but he may be heading toward a part-time role once the Jets are at full strength.

Logan Stanley - Pockets helper in lossStanley notched an assist, two shots on goal, two hits and two blocked shots in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Flames.
ImpactStanley picked up his first point since he closed December with a helper in three straight games. The 26-year-old defenseman has held a steady third-pairing role recently. He'll get a little pressure from Ville Heinola for that spot, and the competition will increase once Haydn Fleury (lower body) returns from injured reserve. Stanley plays more of a physical game, earning eight points, 40 hits, 50 blocked shots, 61 PIM and a plus-6 rating across 33 appearances this season.

Lowry is up to 11 tallies -- four shy of his career high -- while adding 15 assists, 66 shots on net, 88 hits, 41 blocked shots and a plus-17 rating over 47 appearances. He's been playing on the second line in the absence of Vladislav Namestnikov (lower body), though Lowry doesn't see power-play time.

ImpactLomberg has amassed 22 PIM, 22 hits and 11 shots on net in that span. The 30-year-old winger has been a fourth-line fixture for much of the season, playing in an enforcer role. He has four points, 74 hits, 44 PIM and 30 shots on net over 43 appearances.

Andrei Kuzmenko - Strikes on power play in winKuzmenko scored a power-play goal in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Jets.
ImpactKuzmenko had been scratched for the previous three games and entered Saturday stuck in a six-game point drought. He's struggled to bounce back after a lower-body injury cost him time in December, though he wasn't exactly lighting up the scoresheet before that. The 28-year-old winger has been limited to 11 points, 32 shots on net and a minus-6 rating through 33 appearances. For now, Kuzmenko is in competition with Walker Duehr for the last spot in the lineup.
