Connor Hellebuyck - Set to face Columbus Hellebuyck will guard the road net Sunday against the Blue Jackets, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.

Nikolaj Ehlers - Two helpers against Anaheim Ehlers notched two assists, one on the power play, in Friday's 6-0 win over the Ducks.
Impact The 28-year-old winger had a hand in tallies by Nate Schmidt in the second period and Dylan DeMelo in the third. It's Ehlers's first multi-point performance since Feb. 27, but he's been getting on the scoresheet consistently of late, collecting three goals and 11 points over the last 13 contests. He's one goal short of reaching 20 for the seventh time, and three points shy of his fifth career 50-point campaign.

Dylan DeMelo - Two-point effort Friday DeMelo produced a goal and an assist while adding three hits, two PIM, two shots on net and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 6-0 win over the Ducks.
Impact The 30-year-old blueliner snapped a 63-game goal drought with his tally early in the third period, as DeMelo's only other goal this season came in Winnipeg's second game Oct. 14. Despite the inconsistent offensive contributions he's having a strong all-around campaign, reaching triple-digit hits (127) and blocked shots (109) for the third straight season while posting a career-high plus-32 rating that puts him fourth in the NHL.
MARCH 16 • ROTOWIRE
Tyler Toffoli - Lights lamp twice against Ducks Toffoli scored two goals, one on the power play, in Friday's 6-0 win over Anaheim.
Impact Both tallies came in the third period as the Jets turned the game into a rout. The goals were Toffoli's first points in three games since being traded to Winnipeg, and the 31-year-old seems to be settling in with new linemates Sean Monahan and Nikolaj Ehlers. Toffoli also led the Jets in ice time with the man advantage, which bodes well for his fantasy value. He sits two markers short of the third 30-goal campaign of his career, and last year's career-high 34 remains just within striking distance as Winnipeg has 16 games left on its schedule.
MARCH 16 • ROTOWIRE
Mason Appleton - Powers up against Anaheim Appleton netted a power-play goal in Friday's 6-0 win over the Ducks.
Impact Appleton's power-play tally was the final goal of the game as the Jets made it look easy in this home contest. However, we can consider the Appleton goal to be rather clutch for DFS players that took a chance on him, as there were only two games on Friday's slate, with the other one being a Kings 5-0 shutout to the detriment of the Blackhawks. 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.
MARCH 16 • ROTOWIRE
Laurent Brossoit - Records second consecutive shutout Brossoit required only 21 saves in Friday's 6-0 shutout win over the Ducks.
Impact Brossoit has five straight wins and he's fueled by back-to-back shutouts, starting with his March 8 appearance against a Kraken team that managed only 17 shots. While it's only natural that he would play second fiddle to Connor Hellebuyck -- a four-time NHL All-Star who's making a serious bid for the (second) Vezina Trophy win in his illustrious career -- there's no denying that Brossoit has been an excellent streaming option based on a robust 12-4-2 record and sparkling ratios, including a 1.99 GAA and .927 save percentage through 18 games.
MARCH 16 • ROTOWIRE
Josh Morrissey - Lends helping hand on three goals Morrissey recorded three assists, including two on the power play, in Friday's 6-0 shutout victory over the Ducks.
Impact Morrissey can be a tough player to gauge on a per-game basis. While the top-pairing defenseman has been blanked offensively in 32 games this season, he's earned exactly one point 18 times, and there have been 16 box-score multipliers from Morrissey in 2023-24. On a macro level, he's very much among the elite blueliners based on eight goals, 48 assists and a plus-22 rating through 66 contests. The alternate captain is earning $6.25 million AAV on an eight-year deal that takes him through the 2027-28 season.
MARCH 16 • ROTOWIRE
Neal Pionk - Helps out on power play Pionk registered a power-play assist in Friday's 6-0 win over the Ducks.
Impact Think of Pionk as a no-frills fantasy defenseman. It's not likely that he'll light up box score on a given night, but Pionk has a safe floor as he's close to making it five straight seasons with 30 points or more while representing the Jets. As a testament to his well-rounded game, Pionk has stacked five goals, 19 assists, 86 blocked shots and 183 hits against a plus-11 rating through 66 contests.
MARCH 16 • ROTOWIRE
Kyle Connor - Opens scoring in shutout Connor scored his 28th goal of the season as part of Friday's 6-0 shutout win over the Ducks.
Impact Connor tipped in a shot attempt from Dylan DeMelo to open the scoring in a game the Jets obviously dominated. A knee injury that Connor sustained in mid-December resulted in him missing 16 straight contests, but he's now at 50 games on the season and seemingly playing up to his standards as the Jets try to maintain control of the Central Division lead. The top-line winger has 46 points, including four goals and 11 assists on the power play, in this 2023-24 campaign.
MARCH 16 • ROTOWIRE
Sean Monahan - Delivers helper in shutout Monahan delivered an assist in Friday's 6-0 win over the Ducks.
Impact Monahan won a faceoff and Jets newcomer Tyler Toffoli put the finishing touches on the play courtesy of a slick wrist shot to make it 4-0 at 8:07 in the third period. The Jets now feature a deadly trio in Monohan, Toffoli and Nikolaj Ehlers on the second line, with the former up to eight goals and 11 total points in 18 games since his Feb. 2 trade from the Canadiens. Between those two teams, Monahan has 21 goals and 25 assists through 67 contests.
