ImpactNiederreiter earned an assist in his third straight game. The winger helped out on Josh Morrissey's second-period tally. Niederreiter continues to offer decent depth scoring from a third-line role. He's at 22 points, 80 shots on net, 75 hits, 18 PIM and a plus-16 rating over 41 appearances. He's on pace to return to the 40-point threshold after being limited to 34 points in 77 regular-season games in 2023-24.

Vladislav Namestnikov - Nabs assist in lossNamestnikov notched an assist and three hits in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Red Wings.

ImpactNamestnikov ended a five-game point drought with the helper. The 32-year-old has been ceding a bit more ice time to Adam Lowry lately, though Namestnikov is still nominally the second-line center. He's been success in that role this season, racking up 20 points, 42 shots on net, 45 hits, 26 blocked shots, 28 PIM and a plus-11 rating through 41 appearances. He's on pace to reach the 40-point mark for the first time since 2017-18, but Namestnikov's 21.4 shooting percentage is also likely to drop in the second half.

Neal Pionk - Manages assist in Saturday's lossPionk produced an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Red Wings.

ImpactThis was Pionk's second helper in his last three games. The 29-year-old defenseman hasn't gotten on the scoresheet in consecutive outings since a three-game streak from Nov. 29 to Dec. 3. He's up to 28 points, 67 shots on net, 68 blocked shots, 60 hits, 26 PIM and a plus-6 rating over 41 outings in a second-pairing role. Pionk would have to go through a brutal slump to fall shy of earning the second 40-point campaign of his career.

Mark Scheifele - Garners helper SaturdayScheifele registered an assist and two hits in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Red Wings.

ImpactScheifele has been a little quiet with two points over his last four contests, a span in which the Jets have just 10 goals as a team. The 31-year-old remains in a top-line role and there's little reason to think this is anything more than the usual ups and downs of a long season. Overall, he has 46 points, 92 shots on net, 35 hits, 34 blocked shots, 23 PIM and a plus-3 rating over 41 appearances.

ImpactMorrissey ended a nine-game goal drought with his second-period tally. He wasn't slumping during that stretch, racking up eight assists and a plus-6 rating as he continues to lead the way on the Jets' blue line. For the season, the 29-year-old defenseman has four goals, 33 assists, 83 shots on net, 65 blocked shots, 27 hits, 22 PIM and a plus-10 rating over 41 contests.

Nikolaj Ehlers - Scores in Saturday's lossEhlers scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Red Wings.

ImpactEhlers is up to three goals and five assists over eight games since he returned from a lower-body injury. The winger got the Jets within one goal at 16:45 of the third period, but they couldn't tie the game. Overall, he continues to hum along at a point-per-game pace with 12 goals, 21 helpers, 79 shots on net and a plus-4 rating through 32 appearances. Ehlers needs to be in the lineup for most fantasy formats.

Patrick Kane - Provides pair of helpers in winKane notched two assists, including one on the power play, and three shots on goal in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Jets.

ImpactKane has three multi-point efforts over his last four games. He logged just four four such performances over his first 30 outings of the campaign. The 36-year-old winger looks to be responding well to new head coach Todd McLellan, which is good for fantasy managers who have been patient with Kane. He's now at 21 points (nine on the power play), 73 shots on net and a minus-6 rating through 34 contests.
