Scores in Friday's win Namestnikov scored a goal on three shots and added two PIM in Friday's 4-1 win over the Penguins.

Impact Namestnikov scored at 4:53 of the second period, and his goal stood as the game-winner, his first such goal since the 2021-22 campaign. He had gone three games without a point prior to Friday. The 32-year-old center is at six goals, seven assists, 25 shots on net, 24 hits, 18 PIM and a plus-11 rating through 20 outings, providing both offense and some grit in a middle-six role.

Adds insurance tally Namestnikov scored a goal on four shots in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Rangers.

Impact Namestnikov has three goals and two assists over six games in November. He's not slowing down after an impressive October, and he's still seeing regular middle-six minutes and power-play time for the 15-1-0 Jets. For the season, Namestnikov has five goals, seven assists, 19 shots on net, 18 hits, 12 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating over 16 appearances. His 26.3 shooting percentage will drop, so fantasy managers likely will want to pivot to a hot hand once the 31-year-old's offense dips.

Two-point night in win Namestnikov had a goal and an assist in a 4-1 win over the Stars on Saturday.

Impact His goal showed his willingness to get into the dirty places. Namestnikov pushed the score to 3-0 at 3:34 in the second when he jammed the puck in from in tight after his initial wraparound attempt was stopped by Jake Oettinger. He has 11 points (four goals, seven assists) in 15 games so far, and that's a career pace. We like the output; we'd like a touch more consistency in his game, though. Namestnikov has put up point in just six of those games, and he has only 15 shots on the season.

Two points in Sunday's win Namestnikov scored a goal, added an assist and went plus-2 in Sunday's 7-4 win over the Lightning.

Impact Namestnikov got the Jets on the board in the first period and helped out on Nikolaj Ehlers' empty-netter in the third. This was Namestnikov's second multi-point effort of the campaign, and he now has three goals, six assists, 10 shots on net, 15 hits and a plus-10 rating over 12 contests. As long as he's seeing middle-six minutes and power-play time, he's got some appeal as a depth forward in fantasy.

Adds power-play helper Namestnikov recorded a power-play assist and three hits in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Red Wings.

Impact Namestnikov's offense cooled off almost as quickly as it sparked to life, but he has two assists over his last three contests. The 31-year-old remains in a middle-six role with power-play time, so he should level off at a decent scoring pace. He has seven points, six shots on net, 13 hits, six blocked shots and a plus-5 rating this season. All five of his assists have come on the power play.

Stays warm with goal Namestnikov scored a goal in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Penguins.

Impact Namestnikov has erupted with five points over his last two games, taking advantages of porous defenses by the Sharks and Penguins. The 31-year-old is centering the Jets' second line, and he's added four shots on net, five hits, five blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over five appearances this year. He's not a particularly steady scorer, but he's in a good spot alongside Cole Perfetti and Nikolaj Ehlers on a scoring line.

Racks up four points in win Namestnikov scored a goal, distributed three power-play assists and went plus-3 in Friday's 8-3 win over the Sharks.

Impact Namestnikov didn't see any power-play time in the Jets' previous game amid a slow start to the year. That's in the rear-view mirror now, as the 31-year-old forward broke out of his early funk as one of three Jets to earn four points in this contest. The center has added three shots on net, four hits, four blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over four contests. He's centering the second line, though that trio with Cole Perfetti and Nikolaj Ehlers has seen limited ice time compared to the trio of Adam Lowry, Nino Niederreiter and Mason Appleton.

Impact Namestnikov should be available for training camp after missing Game 5 of the Jets' first-round playoff series against Colorado due to a fractured cheekbone. He accounted for 11 goals, 37 points and 92 hits across 78 regular-season contests in 2023-24 before adding one goal in four playoff outings.

Dealing with fractured cheekbone Namestnikov (face) has a fractured cheekbone, but he hasn't been ruled out of Tuesday's must-win Game 5 versus the Avalanche, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site says.

Impact It sounds like Namestnikov may put on a full cage and try to gut it out Tuesday, but his status for Game 5 may not be confirmed until the Jets take the ice for pregame warmups. He's picked up one goal and a minus-3 rating through the first four games of the Jets' first-round series versus Colorado.

Taken to hospital Namestnikov (upper body) is being evaluated at the hospital after taking a shot off the head during Sunday's loss to Colorado, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.

Impact Namestnikov took a Nate Schmidt slapshot off the head in the third period but was able to skate back to the locker room with some assistance, which is a positive sign. The team should have an update on his status after some more testing but his availability for Game 5 on Tuesday seems unlikely at this stage. He had one shot on goal in 10:05 of ice time Sunday.

Nets goal in Game 1 win Namestnikov scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Sunday's 7-6 win over the Avalanche in Game 1.

Impact Namestnikov was rested for the Jets' regular-season finale, an oddity given his placement on the fourth line for the playoff opener. Nonetheless, he was able to contribute, burying a shot from the slow after the Avalanche got sloppy in their own zone. Namestnikov was versatile for the Jets this season while earning 37 points over 78 appearances, his most in a campaign since he had 48 in 2017-18. If injuries arise among the Jets' top-six forwards, Namestnikov could be one of the players to step up into a larger role.
