Dylan DeMelo - Quiet on offenseDeMelo's point drought reached 13 games in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Blue Jackets.

ImpactDeMelo has also been under 20 minutes of ice time in two of the last three games -- the only other time that's happened this year was in a blowout win Opening Night versus the Oilers. The 31-year-old remains firmly in the Jets' top four, but the lack of offense hinders what little fantasy value he has. Overall, he's at three assists, 25 shots on net, 48 hits, 31 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a plus-5 rating over 29 appearances. He topped the 30-point mark with three goals, 28 assists and a career-best plus-46 rating in 82 regular-season outings in 2023-24, so this downturn on offense is disappointing.

Ivan Provorov - Nabs assistProvorov logged an assist and went plus-3 in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Jets.

ImpactProvorov ultimately played after being a game-time call with an upper-body injury, which was likely a thumb or hand issue. He saw 23:07 of ice time after exiting Friday's contest early, so it appears whatever the injury is, it's something he can play through for now. Provorov is up to 10 points, 35 shots on net, 35 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating through 27 outings in a top-four role this season.

Sean Monahan - Grabs helper in winMonahan posted an assist, four shots on goal, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Jets.

ImpactMonahan set up the first of Kent Johnson's two goals in the third period, with that tally standing as the game-winner. The assist snapped a three-game slump for Monahan -- that's just his third drought of more than one game this season. The center is up to eight tallies, 15 helpers, 71 shots on net and a plus-11 rating through 27 appearances.

Sean Kuraly - Pots empty-netterKuraly scored an empty-net goal on two shots and doled out eight hits in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Jets.

ImpactKuraly ended an 11-game goal drought, a span in which he had just one assist, with the empty-netter to seal this win. The 31-year-old is holding down a fourth-line role, though the Blue Jackets' surprisingly strong depth down the middle has temporarily pushed him to the wing. Kuraly has seven points, 24 shots on net, 58 hits and a plus-4 rating through 27 appearances.

Kyle Connor - Point streak reaches three gamesConnor scored a power-play goal in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Blue Jackets.

ImpactConnor opened the scoring midway through the second period for the Jets, but the team couldn't hold and conceded four unanswered goals en route to their third loss over their last five contests. Connor has recorded points in three games in a row and in six of his last eight contests, notching two goals and five assists in that span.

Eric Comrie - Extends losing streakComrie stopped 24 of 27 shots in Sunday's 4-1 loss to Columbus. The fourth goal was an empty-netter in the third period.

ImpactComrie has dropped his last four starts, and the underlying numbers aren't optimistic either, as he's failed to post a save percentage above the .900 mark in three of those contests. The 29-year-old has gone 3-4-0 with a 3.05 GAA and a .901 save percentage this season, but there's no question he's been trending in the wrong direction of late.
