Vladislav Namestnikov - Page 2 - NHL News & Rumors

Big three-point effort Namestnikov had a goal and two assists in a 4-2 win over the Wild on Saturday.

Impact He opened the scoring early in the first after Alex Iaffalo grabbed a turnover behind the Wild net and fed Namestnikov, who was alone in tight on Marc Andre Fleury. It was his first three-point game since Jan. 2 when he picked three apples against the Lightning. Namestnikov is seven points from his career mark of 44 set in 2017-18 in Tampa Bay. With five games remaining, he may be hard-pressed to set a new career mark.

Earns helper Thursday Namestnikov posted a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Flames.

Impact It wasn't immediately obvious who contributed on the Jets' third goal, but ultimately Namestnikov got the primary helper on Tyler Toffoli's tally. That assist snapped a five-game slump for Namestnikov, who has been stuck in a bottom-six role lately. He's at 34 points (five on the power play), 92 shots on net, 90 hits, 41 blocked shots, 35 PIM and a plus-14 rating through 73 contests overall, but without more playing time, he's not much of a fantasy option.

Contributes two points Namestnikov picked up a goal and one assist in a 5-2 win over Buffalo on Sunday.

Impact Namestnikov provided an assist on the game-tying goal early in the third period and scored an empty-net goal late as the Sabres attempted to put the game into overtime. This was Namestnikov's first multi-point game since Jan. 5 and only his fifth of the season. In his past 15 games Namestnikov has only produced three total points; he might not be a player worth rostering in most fantasy leagues.

Snaps lengthy slump Namestnikov scored the Jets' lone goal in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Stars.

Impact The former 20-goal forward has struggled to find the net for the second season in a row, netting just his seventh goal of the year on Thursday.

Impact Namestnikov scored on his only shot on goal while posting two hits in 16:51 of ice time across 21 shifts. It wasn't all great, as he lost all six of his chances at the faceoff dot.

He's up to 23 points, 44 shots on net, 25 hits, 20 blocked shots and a plus-18 rating through 36 appearances. Namestnikov is well on his way to exceeding the 40-point mark for just the second time in his career.

Impact Namestnikov has been sharp lately, racking up a goal and six helpers over his last five contests. He had a hand in third-period markers by Nate Schmidt and Cole Perfetti in this game. Namestnikov has enjoyed consistent top-six usage for a majority of the season, so he's in the right position to help in fantasy. Overall, the 31-year-old has managed 22 points, 43 shots on net, 25 hits and a plus-18 rating over 35 appearances.

The forward had gone three games without a point prior to his injury. He's at 12 points, 33 shots on net, 13 hits, 14 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating through 23 outings this season.

Doubtful Thursday Namestnikov (lower body) will join the Jets on their four-game road trip but is a doubt to face Colorado on Thursday, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.

Impact Namestnikov is poised to miss his third consecutive contest due to his lingering lower-body issue. The Russia center has scored just one goal in his last 17 contests, adding seven assists but only 23 shots along the way. Cole Perfetti figures to hold down the second-line center role while Namestnikov is sidelined.

The 31-year-old has handled a middle-six role this season, posting 11 points, 28 shots on net, 13 blocked shots and a plus-12 rating through 19 appearances. He's far from an offensive dynamo, but Namestnikov can provide steady depth scoring for fantasy managers in deeper formats.

Impact Namestnikov is heating up a bit with three helpers over his last five games. The 30-year-old has seen middle-six usage for much of this season, though he's around as much for defense as offense. He's up to six points, 24 shots on net, 10 hits, 10 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating through 15 appearances.

NOVEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Strikes shorthanded in win Namestnikov scored a shorthanded on goal on three shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Oilers.

The 30-year-old forward has three points, 10 shots on net, five hits, four blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating through five contests overall. Namestnikov should continue to see middle-six usage as a solid defensive forward.

Earns assist against Kings Namestnikov garnered an assist versus Los Angeles on Tuesday.

Impact Namestnikov recorded his first point of the 2023-24 campaign after being blanked in the opening two contests. The 30-year-old center has yet to find the back of the net, which shouldn't come as a complete surprise considering he has just five shots on goal.

OCTOBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Re-joining Winnipeg Namestnikov signed a two-year, $4 million contract with the Jets on Saturday, per Darren Dreger of TSN.

Impact Namestnikov tallied 25 points (eight goals, 17 assists) in 77 games last year, including 10 in 20 contests after joining the Jets from Tampa Bay at the trade deadline. The 30-year-old forward figures to play a middle-six role again in Winnipeg while potentially seeing some time on the power play.

Nabs power-play assist Namestnikov posted a power-play assist and two hits in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Golden Knights in Game 1.

Impact Namestnikov has been centering the second line recently, though he's not a huge factor on the power play. The 30-year-old has gone 17 games without a goal, picking up six assists in that span. While his spot in the lineup is secure, Namestnikov's lack of offense probably won't be attractive for fantasy managers.

APRIL 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Two helpers in Friday's win Namestnikov collected two assists in Friday's 6-2 win over Detroit.

Impact The 30-year-old had just one point, a helper, over his prior nine games, but Namestnikov made an impact Friday by having a hand in Winnipeg's second and sixth goals of the night.
