Not playing Tuesday Namestnikov (face) won't play Tuesday against Colorado in Game 5, per Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press.

Impact Namestnikov suffered a fractured cheekbone in Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Avalanche in Game 4. He has one goal, four shots on net and eight hits in four appearances this postseason. With Namestnikov unavailable and Axel Jonsson-Fjallby serving as a healthy scratch, Cole Perfetti and David Gustafsson will draw into the lineup for Tuesday's Game 5 matchup.

Dealing with fractured cheekbone Namestnikov (face) has a fractured cheekbone, but he hasn't been ruled out of Tuesday's must-win Game 5 versus the Avalanche, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site says.

Impact It sounds like Namestnikov may put on a full cage and try to gut it out Tuesday, but his status for Game 5 may not be confirmed until the Jets take the ice for pregame warmups. He's picked up one goal and a minus-3 rating through the first four games of the Jets' first-round series versus Colorado.

Taken to hospital Namestnikov (upper body) is being evaluated at the hospital after taking a shot off the head during Sunday's loss to Colorado, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.

Impact Namestnikov took a Nate Schmidt slapshot off the head in the third period but was able to skate back to the locker room with some assistance, which is a positive sign. The team should have an update on his status after some more testing but his availability for Game 5 on Tuesday seems unlikely at this stage. He had one shot on goal in 10:05 of ice time Sunday.

Jets forward Vladislav Namestnikov suffers a fractured cheekbone after a puck hit him in the face

Nets goal in Game 1 win Namestnikov scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Sunday's 7-6 win over the Avalanche in Game 1.

Impact Namestnikov was rested for the Jets' regular-season finale, an oddity given his placement on the fourth line for the playoff opener. Nonetheless, he was able to contribute, burying a shot from the slow after the Avalanche got sloppy in their own zone. Namestnikov was versatile for the Jets this season while earning 37 points over 78 appearances, his most in a campaign since he had 48 in 2017-18. If injuries arise among the Jets' top-six forwards, Namestnikov could be one of the players to step up into a larger role.

Ready to play Namestnikov (rest) is available for Game 1 against Colorado on Sunday, Tracey Myers of NHL.com reports.

Impact Namestnikov missed Thursday's season finale due to rest and will be back in his middle-six role Sunday. The veteran forward finished his season with 11 goals and 37 points through 78 appearances.

APRIL 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Out of action Thursday Namestnikov (rest) will miss Thursday's tilt versus Vancouver, Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press reports.

Impact Namestnikov had his second-best season at the NHL level, scoring 11 times and adding 26 assists in 78 appearances. Look for Namestnikov to return to the lineup this weekend for Game 1 of the Stanley Cup playoffs.

APRIL 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

APRIL 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

MARCH 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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. Namestnikov's second period score was his first point in the last 13 games. His dry spell and limited ice time make it difficult to depend on him in most formats.

MARCH 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Strikes for sixth goal of season Namestnikov scored a goal in Monday's 4-1 road loss against the Bruins.

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. The 31-year-old Russian pivot has a goal and an assist in his past two games, and two goals and eight points with a plus-3 rating across 10 games in the month of January.

JANUARY 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Stays warm with goal Namestnikov scored a goal in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Coyotes.

Impact Namestnikov has two goals and six helpers over his last six games while seeing top-six minutes in that span. The 31-year-old center opened the scoring late in the first period Sunday to keep his hot stretch going. 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.

JANUARY 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Dishes two more assists Namestnikov logged two assists, including one on the power play, and added two hits in Friday's 3-1 win over the Ducks.

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.

JANUARY 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Three helpers vs. former team Namestnikov recorded three assists in Tuesday's 4-2 win over Tampa Bay.

Impact Namestnikov had a hand in each of Winnipeg's final three goals, setting a new season high with three points in the Jets' win. The 31-year-old forward extended his point streak to three games, tallying a goal and four assists in that span. Overall, Namestnikov is up to 20 points (four goals, 16 assists) through 33 games in a middle-six role this season.

JANUARY 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Grabs helper in return Namestnikov posted an assist in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Ducks.

Impact Namestnikov missed three games with a lower-body injury, but he saw 14:34 of ice time in his usual middle-six role in his return. 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. Namestnikov isn't playing as much of a physical game as usual, so his appeal is likely limited to deeper fantasy formats.

DECEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ready to return Namestnikov (lower body) will be in Sunday's lineup against Anaheim, Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press reports.

Impact Namestnikov will return after missing the last three games. The 31-year-old has seven points over his last nine appearances, giving him 11 points in 22 contests. He's set to skate in a second-line role.

DECEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

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.

DECEMBER 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Will miss next two games Namestnikov (lower body) will miss Winnipeg's games against Chicago on Saturday and Carolina on Monday, coach Rick Bowness told John Lu of TSN.

Impact Namestnikov sustained the injury during Thursday's 3-1 loss to Edmonton. He has two goals and 11 points in 22 appearances this season. With Namestnikov out for two games, David Gustafsson will likely draw into the lineup.

DECEMBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with lower-body issue Namestnikov left Thursday's game versus the Oilers with a lower-body injury, Scott Billeck of the Winnipeg Sun reports.

Impact Further details regarding Namestnikov's injury are unknown. He left the game after getting tangled up with Darnell Nurse in the third period. Namestnikov should be considered day-to-day ahead of Saturday's game versus the Blackhawks.

DECEMBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Extends point streak to six games Namestnikov notched an assist and two PIM in Friday's 3-0 win over the Panthers.

Impact Namestnikov has a goal and six helpers during his six-game point streak, and he's also gone plus-9 in that span. 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.
