Dylan DeMelo - NHL News & Rumors

Scores in loss Monday DeMelo scored a goal while adding four shots, a hit and three blocked shots in Monday's 5-2 loss to Utah.

Impact DeMelo isn't known for being much of a fantasy contributor despite playing in the Jets' first defensive pairing. He has just 10 points through 48 games, and the fact that two of his three goals have come over his last three appearances suggests he's not going to score regularly going forward. He does bring a lot fo physicality to the table, as he's racked up 82 hits and 59 blocked shots thus far.

Nabs assist in win DeMelo logged an assist, five hits and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Predators.

Impact DeMelo has produced just two points over nine contests since his three-game assist streak in mid-December. The 31-year-old defenseman continues to add physicality in a top-four role, and he may be tasked with tougher minutes if Josh Morrissey (lower body) misses time after leaving Tuesday's game. Through 42 appearances, DeMelo has eight points, 37 shots on net, 73 hits, 51 blocked shots and a plus-19 rating.

Slated to play Thursday DeMelo (undisclosed) is expected to play Thursday versus Anaheim, per Cole Bagley of KSL Sports.

Impact DeMelo has a goal, seven points, 64 hits and 46 blocks in 39 appearances in 2024-25. He exited Tuesday's 5-2 loss to Colorado after blocking a shot in the third period, but it seems he won't miss a full game due to the injury.

Impact DeMelo ended the game with two hits and three blocked shots in 23:43 of ice time. There was no update on the defenseman's status after the contest. The Jets can ill afford another injury on the blue line -- they're already missing Dylan Samberg (foot) and Haydn Fleury (lower body). More information on DeMelo's status should be available prior to Thursday's home game versus the Ducks.

Gets first goal of season DeMelo scored a goal and added two hits in Monday's 3-0 win over the Predators.

Impact DeMelo broke up the goaltending duel with a second-period tally past Juuse Saros, which stood as the game-winner for the Jets. The goal was DeMelo's first of the season, and he's earned four points with a plus-8 rating, 18 hits and 13 blocked shots over 14 appearances in December. The 31-year-old defenseman is up to seven points, 34 shots on net, 62 hits, 43 blocked shots, 20 PIM and a plus-17 rating over 38 games in a top-four role this season.

Impact DeMelo has a helper in three straight games, following a stretch of 14 contests in which he failed to record a point. The 31-year-old defenseman has remained in a top-four role throughout the year thanks to his steady defensive play.

Notches assist in win DeMelo had an assist, two blocks and one hit in Saturday's 4-2 win over Montreal.

Impact DeMelo, who snapped a 14-game point-less run in Thursday's overtime loss to Vegas, recorded an assist for the second consecutive game. The helper was his fifth over 32 outings. That's well behind the pace set last season when the 31-year-old blueliner posted a career-high 31 points, but the Jets aren't looking for him to regularly land on the scoresheet. Winnipeg relies on him to be the stay-at-home partner on the top pair, allowing Josh Morrissey to push the offense. DeMelo, who finished second in the NHL with a plus-46 rating last season, currently stands at plus-9 in 2024-25.

Ends slump with helper DeMelo notched an assist, two hits and two PIM in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact DeMelo went 14 games without a point before snapping the drought when he set up a Josh Morrissey tally in the third period. The 31-year-old DeMelo doesn't focus on offense, but his top-pairing role has often led to him chipping a decent amount of points simply by sharing ice time with the Jets' best players. For the season, he has just four helpers to go with 54 hits, 34 blocked shots, 28 shots on net, 14 PIM and a plus-8 rating over 31 contests.

Ivan Barbashev scores in overtime to lift the Golden Knights past the Jets, 3-2

Ivan Barbashev scored at 3:47 of overtime to give the Vegas Golden Knights a 3-2 victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday night

DECEMBER 13, 2024 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Quiet on offense DeMelo's point drought reached 13 games in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Blue Jackets.

Impact DeMelo has also been under 20 minutes of ice time in two of the last three games -- the only other time that's happened this year was in a blowout win Opening Night versus the Oilers. The 31-year-old remains firmly in the Jets' top four, but the lack of offense hinders what little fantasy value he has. Overall, he's at three assists, 25 shots on net, 48 hits, 31 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a plus-5 rating over 29 appearances. He topped the 30-point mark with three goals, 28 assists and a career-best plus-46 rating in 82 regular-season outings in 2023-24, so this downturn on offense is disappointing.

Snags assist in Sunday's win DeMelo logged an assist, two shots on goal, four hits and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 7-4 win over the Lightning.

Impact DeMelo snapped a six-game point drought with his helper on Dylan Samberg's game-winning goal in the third period. With two points through 12 contests, DeMelo is off the pace that saw him log 31 points in 82 regular-season outings last year. He's added nine shots on net, 26 hits, 22 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating, offering reliable non-scoring production while playing in a top-four role.

NOVEMBER 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Notches helper Sunday DeMelo recorded an assist and went plus-2 in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Penguins.

Impact DeMelo helped out on a Nino Niederreiter empty-netter in the third period. The assist was DeMelo's first point in five games this year. The 31-year-old defenseman gets plenty of ice time with Winnipeg's best players by virtue of his spot on the first pairing at even strength, but he's more of a shutdown blueliner. DeMelo has added 11 blocked shots, nine hits, four PIM and a plus-2 rating so far.

Last year, the veteran blueliner played in all 82 regular-season contests while putting up three goals, 28 assists and 83 shots. While DeMelo is never going to be a Norris Trophy candidate, he should be able to replicate that production next season, making him a decent mid-range fantasy target.

Pockets helper in loss DeMelo notched an assist, three shots on goal and five hits in Friday's 6-2 loss to the Avalanche in Game 3.

Impact The point was DeMelo's first in three playoff outings. The defenseman has added three shots on net, 15 hits and two blocked shots while playing in his usual top-four role. He had a career-high 31 points in 82 regular-season outings, but offense is usually a secondary component of his game.
