Impact Appleton and linemates Adam Lowry and Nino Niederreiter were a big part of the Jets' early offense, factoring in on three of the team's first four goals. That trio often functions as a shutdown line, but Wednesday's performance showed how they can control play on offense as well. Appleton had a career-high 14 goals and 36 points in 82 regular-season games last year, and his hot start to 2024-25 gives him a chance of putting up similar numbers.

Impact Appleton's power-play tally was the final goal of the game as the Jets made it look easy in this home contest.

It's probably worth turning your attention to Appleton, as the versatile third-line forward has two goals and five assists through eight March contests.

The 27-year-old is up to 20 points, hitting that threshold for the third time in his career. He's added 53 shots on net, 36 hits, 25 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating, but fantasy managers may want to find a bit more scoring pop on the waiver wire.
