Scores lone goal in win Vilardi scored a goal on four shots in Thursday's 1-0 win over the Avalanche.

Impact Mark Scheifele forced a turnover at the Jets' blue line and then fed Vilardi for the goal on a 2-on-1. The tally at 1:06 of the first period was the lone one in the game, and it was Vilardi's second game-winner this season. The 25-year-old has five goals and three assists over his last six contests, giving him 12 points, 29 shots on net and a plus-2 rating over 14 appearances. He'll have solid fantasy value as a scoring-only option as long as he's able to play on the top line.

Nets power-play goal Vilardi scored a power-play goal in Tuesday's 3-0 win over Utah.

Impact Vilardi went goalless in his first six appearances this season, but that drought seems like a distant memory now. The 25-year-old playmaker has found the back of the net in seven of his last seven contests, a span in which he's also racked up three assists, meaning he's averaging more than one point per game in that stretch. Vilardi is not likely to keep producing at this rate on a long-term basis, but he's certainly reaping the benefits of the Jets' strong start to the campaign. He should continue to have plenty of opportunities to produce as long as he remains in the first line of the Jets' offense, both at even strength and in the power play.

Tacks on goal Friday Vilardi scored a goal on three shots in Friday's 6-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

Impact Vilardi has three goals and five points over his last three games. His tally Friday came late in the third period to close out the scoring. The recent scoring surge has the 25-year-old forward up to four goals, nine points, 18 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating through 11 appearances. Vilardi is a lock for the top line as long as he and the rest of the Jets continue to play well.

Two-point effort in Detroit Vilardi produced a goal and an assist in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Red Wings.

Impact Both points came in the first period, and Vilardi opened the scoring by snapping home a slick pass from Kyle Connor just 2:48 into the game. Vilardi was one of the rare Jets to have a quiet start to the season, but the 25-year-old has now posted back-to-back multi-point performances and has three goals and eight points through 10 contests.

One of each in loss Vilardi scored a goal on two shots and added a power-play assist in Monday's 6-4 loss to the Maple Leafs.

Impact The Jets didn't get much depth scoring in their first loss of the season, but the top line was in fine form. Vilardi, Mark Scheifele and Kyle Connor combined for all four goals and a total of eight points in the loss. Vilardi hasn't started as well as his linemates but still has two goals, six points (three on the power play), 12 shots on net and a minus-4 rating over nine outings. As long as he's on the top line, the 25-year-old should be a reliable scoring-only option for fantasy managers.

Nets first goal of season Vilardi scored a goal on three shots and blocked two shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Kraken.

Impact The goal was Vilardi's first of the season. The 25-year-old winger has maintained a top-line role at even strength, but he hasn't enjoyed the same success as his linemates Mark Scheifele and Kyle Connor. Through seven contests, Vilardi has four points, eight shots on net and a minus-2 rating. As long as he stays on the top line, he'll have ample upside.

Adds pair of assists Vilardi recorded two assists in Friday's 8-3 win over the Sharks.

Impact One of Vilardi's helpers came on the power play. The 25-year-old continues to play in a top-line role, and he saw 21:23 of ice time Friday while compiling his first multi-point effort of the season. He's earned three assists (two on the power play) and four shots on net through four contests, but he's not adding much else in the way of non-scoring numbers. That's not unusual, as Vilardi is a skilled forward, but his fantasy value will be closely tied to his offense.

Registers power-play helper Vilardi notched a power-play assist in Wednesday's 6-0 win over the Oilers.

Impact Vilardi helped out on a Mark Scheifele tally in the third period. The 25-year-old Vilardi is getting the first chance to make an impact on the Jets' top line, playing right wing alongside Scheifele and Kyle Connor. In his first year with the Jets, Vilardi had 22 goals and 14 assists over 47 regular-season games in a campaign disrupted by two major injuries. He could find another level on offense if he stays healthy, but he's yet to play in more than 63 games in a single season after back injuries early in his career and last season's battles with a knee injury and an enlarged spleen.

Hopes to keep the doctors away Vilardi set up three goals in a 5-2 win over Calgary in preseason action on Wednesday.

Impact Vilardi is coming off his best point-per-game season (0.77; 36 points, including 22 goals, in 47 games) and is poised for a career season. Vilardi is poised for regular shifts beside star veterans Kyle Connor and Mark Scheifele, and that point-per-game average could deliver 65-70 points if he can stay healthy. But he's never played more than 63 games in a season, so have a contingency plan.

Slides assist Tuesday Vilardi recorded a power-play assist, three shots on goal, two hits and a minus-2 rating in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Avalanche in Game 5.

Impact Vilardi picked up four helpers, nine shots on net, four hits, six PIM and a minus-4 rating over five playoff contests. The 24-year-old had 36 points in just 47 regular-season outings, frequently featuring in a top-six role for the Jets. He is under contract for 2024-25 and should return to a similar assignment, which could put him in line for a breakout year before he reaches restricted free agency.

Adds helper in loss Vilardi notched an assist, two shots on goal, two PIM and a minus-2 rating in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche in Game 2.

Impact Vilardi has earned three helpers through two playoff contests. He's also recorded four shots on net while seeing top-line minutes. Vilardi's scoring upside is limited compared to linemates Mark Scheifele and Kyle Connor, but the 24-year-old could have some extra fantasy appeal if he stays in that role during the postseason.

Produces two assists Vilardi registered two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 7-6 win over the Avalanche in Game 1.

Impact Vilardi had six goals over the last seven games of the campaign, but his last assist was Feb. 25, two games before he was held out with an enlarged spleen. The 24-year-old has held down a top-line role since his return, and he set up goals by linemates Mark Scheifele and Kyle Connor in this contest. It's still early in the postseason, but Vilardi could achieve breakout status if he stays in that place in the lineup.

Adds 20th goal Vilardi scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over Nashville.

Impact Vilardi got the Jets on the board 6:51 into the first period, beating Juuse Saros with a nifty between-the-legs shot on the power play to tie the game 1-1. The 24-year-old Vilardi now has four goals in five games since returning from a month-long stint on IR. Overall, he's up to 20 goals and 34 points through 43 games this season while skating in a top-line role.
