Three things - Missed opportunity | Winnipeg Jets Jets get goals from Connor, Morrissey and Toffoli but lose Game 5 6-3
MAY 1 • NHL.COM
Colin Miller - Adds helper in season-ending loss Miller recorded an assist, three shots on goal and five hits in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Avalanche in Game 5.
Impact Miller played sparingly after the Jets acquired him from the Devils, though he managed two assists and 17 hits in six appearances for Winnipeg. Miller had nine points, 69 shots on net, 91 hits and a plus-8 rating over 46 regular-season outings. He is set to be an unrestricted free agent this summer, and he should be able to find an NHL deal as a possible third-pairing option, though his playing style is rarely friendly to fantasy managers.

Gabriel Vilardi - 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.

Mark Scheifele - Contributes assist in loss Scheifele produced an assist, three shots on goal, three hits, four blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Avalanche in Game 5.
Impact Scheifele was solid with two goals and four assists over five playoff outings, but he also went minus-6 in the first-round series. The center had 10 shots on net and 13 hits as well. Scheifele is secure as a cornerstone of the Jets' roster for years to come, as his seven-year contract extension begins in 2024-25. He should continue to see top-line minutes and ample power-play time.

Tyler Toffoli - Finds twine Tuesday Toffoli scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Avalanche in Game 5.
Impact Toffoli's goal tied the game at 3-3 early in the third period, but the Jets weren't able to score again after that. The winger had two goals, eight shots on net, eight hits and a minus-2 rating over five playoff appearances. Toffoli posted 55 points, 229 shots, 75 hits and a minus-6 rating over 79 regular-season appearances between the Jets and the Devils. He is one of two unrestricted free agents among the Jets' forwards, and given his lack of playoff performance, he may be looking for a new home in the offseason.
MAY 1 • ROTOWIRE
Josh Morrissey - Strikes on power play Morrissey scored a power-play goal on five shots, blocked two shots and went minus-2 in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Avalanche in Game 5.
Impact Morrissey's goal tied the game at 2-2 in the second period. The defenseman had three goals, one assist, 12 shots on net, four hits and 12 blocked shots over five playoff contests. He had 69 points 103 blocks and a plus-34 rating in 81 regular-season outings, his second straight high-quality campaign. Look for Morrissey to continue to serve on the top pairing and first power-play unit in 2024-25.
MAY 1 • ROTOWIRE
Kyle Connor - Credited with goal in loss Connor scored a goal on six shots in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Avalanche in Game 3.
Impact Connor was awarded the Jets' first goal after a series of blunders led to the Avalanche putting the puck in their own net. The winger had three goals, two assists, 19 shots on net and a minus-4 rating over five playoff outings during the Jets' first-round exit. Connor has two years remaining on his contract and should continue to be a top-six force for the Jets in 2024-25.
MAY 1 • ROTOWIRE
Connor Hellebuyck - Can't shake skid Tuesday Hellebuyck stopped 26 of 31 shots in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Avalanche in Game 5.
Impact The Avalanche took over in the third period, leaving Hellebuyck with a fourth straight loss to end the Jets' playoff run after one round. The 30-year-old gave up 24 goals in five appearances, a dramatically worse performance than he showed with a 2.39 GAA and a .921 save percentage over 60 regular-season games. Hellebuyck was announced as a Vezina Trophy finalist this week for that work, but he'll likely want to forget the postseason quickly in preparation for 2024-25.
