Jets take on the Penguins after Perfetti's 2-goal performance
The Winnipeg Jets host the Pittsburgh Penguins after Cole Perfetti's two-goal game against the San Jose Sharks in the Jets' 8-3 winOCTOBER 19 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Colin Miller - Pockets assist in win Miller provided an assist, two shots on goal and three hits in Friday's 8-3 win over the Sharks.
Impact Miller set up a Josh Morrissey tally in the first period. While he's been a regular on the third pairing, Miller hasn't chipped in much production of any kind this season. He has one helper, a plus-2 rating, six shots on goal, three hits and two blocked shots. The 31-year-old defenseman may eventually have to share his spot in the lineup with Dylan Coghlan, who has yet to make his season debut, or Logan Stanley (knee), who is nearing his anticipated return date after undergoing surgery to address a meniscus issue.

Mark Scheifele - Grabs power-play helper Scheifele notched a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Friday's 8-3 win over the Sharks.
Impact This was the first time in four games that Scheifele has been limited to a single point. The 31-year-old center is off to an excellent start in 2024-25, racking up four goals, three assists, 13 shots on net and a plus-2 rating. The Jets have gotten contributions from all over the lineup early on, but Scheifele figures to be one of their most reliable scorers throughout the campaign.

Alex Iafallo - Collects two power-play assists Iafallo notched two power-play assists and blocked two shots in Friday's 8-3 win over the Sharks.
Impact Iafallo has mostly played in a fourth-line role this season, though he also sees time on the second power-play unit. His helpers came on goals by Neal Pionk and Cole Perfetti as the Jets' second power-play unit cashed in three times in the game. Iafallo has added two shots on net, three hits, four blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over four contests this season. He missed the 30-point mark for the first time since his rookie year in 2023-24, and his limited usage in Winnipeg leaves the 30-year-old winger with little upside.

Gabriel Vilardi - 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.
OCTOBER 19 • ROTOWIRE
Kyle Connor - Riding four-game point streak Connor scored a goal on four shots in Friday's 8-3 win over the Sharks.
Impact Connor's second-period tally chased Mackenzie Blackwood from the game. Through four contests, Connor has three goals and an assist, and he's yet to be held off the scoresheet. The speedy winger has added 16 shots on net, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating. He's locked into a top-six role and producing early in the year, making him a reliable source of offense and shots for fantasy managers.

Josh Morrissey - Scores early in blowout win Morrissey scored a goal on three shots, blocked two shots and added two PIM in Friday's 8-3 win over the Sharks.
Impact Morrissey's first goal of the season came 1:59 into the game. He's added four assists over four games, opening the season on a point streak. The 29-year-old defenseman also has nine shots on net, eight blocked shots and a plus-5 rating. He's a high-end fantasy blueliner not just for his offense -- he can pile up shots and blocks while carrying a strong plus-minus rating.
OCTOBER 19 • ROTOWIRE
Nikolaj Ehlers - Leads early barrage Ehlers scored twice on five shots, added an assist and went plus-3 in Friday's 8-3 win over the Sharks.
Impact Ehlers had a hand in three of the Jets' four goals in the first period, which set the tone for the game. His first tally came on the power play. The 28-year-old winger now has two goals, three assists, 10 shots on net, three hits and a plus-4 rating over four appearances this season. He should continue to see time on the second line and first power-play unit, giving him plenty of upside as a winger who has reached the 60-point mark on three occasions.
OCTOBER 19 • ROTOWIRE
Neal Pionk - Erupts for four points Pionk scored a power-play goal on two shots, dished three assists and went plus-2 in Friday's 8-3 win over the Sharks.
Impact One of his helpers also came on the power play, as the Jets' second unit made some noise in this contest. Pionk is up to five points, seven shots on net, five hits, two blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over four games. The 29-year-old defenseman has been a little less physical than usual, but over time, he should average out to being an excellent depth option for category coverage.
