Sean Monahan - Manages assist in win Monahan posted an assist, four shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Flames.

Impact Monahan set up Gabriel Vilardi's hat-trick-clinching empty-netter with 1:04 left in the game. The helper extended Monahan's point streak to five contests (three goals, two assists). The center is rolling and continues to see time on the second line. He's up to 20 points through 28 outings with the Jets and 55 points through 77 games this season.

Kyle Connor - Collects assist in win Connor notched a power-play assist and five shots on goal in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Flames.

Impact Connor is still lacking a goal-scoring touch -- he's gone eight games without scoring, but he has six helpers over his last five outings. The winger is up to 54 points (18 on the power play), 211 shots on net and a minus-9 rating through 60 appearances. Connor's a lock to remain in a top-six role, and he can still provide value through playmaking and power-play production.

Mark Scheifele - Provides helper Thursday Scheifele logged an assist in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Flames.

Impact Scheifele helped out on Gabriel Vilardi's empty-netter to seal the win. This was Scheifele's eighth game without a multi-point effort, and he has just one goal and three assists in that span. Head coach Rick Bowness has tried a variety of line combinations to get his top center rolling again, but nothing's stuck yet. The 31-year-old Scheifele is at 66 points, 148 shots on net, 62 hits, 55 PIM and a plus-17 rating through 69 appearances on the season.

Josh Morrissey - Garners two assists in win Morrissey notched two assists, four shots on goal, three blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Flames.

Impact Morrissey was on the receiving end of an elbow from Martin Pospisil in the second period, but the Jets' top defenseman came out of the encounter no worse for wear. With five points over his last three contests, Morrissey is heating up on offense again. He's at 63 points (16 on the power play), 192 shots on net, 86 hits, 100 blocked shots and a plus-28 rating through 76 appearances this season.

Tyler Toffoli - Tallies on power play Toffoli scored a power-play goal on six shots in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Flames.

Impact Toffoli's second-period tally stood as the game-winner. It also snapped a six-game dry spell for Toffoli, who was out with an illness for Monday's game versus the Kings. The 31-year-old winger is up to 31 goals, 51 points, 211 shots on net, 72 hits and a minus-11 rating through 73 contests between the Jets and the Devils this season. He was on the third line to begin Thursday's game, and that role doesn't bode well for his long-term production, though he should still benefit from power-play usage.

Nikolaj Ehlers - One of each Thursday Ehlers scored a goal on three shots, provided a power-play assist, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Flames.

Impact Ehlers put the Jets ahead 2-1 in the first period and added a helper on Tyler Toffoli's tally in the second that was the game-winner. With four goals and seven assists over his last 11 contests, Ehlers is finally finding a groove in a top-six role. He's at 56 points -- his most in the last four years -- with 217 shots on net and a plus-27 rating over 76 appearances this season. He's still got enough time to secure his first 60-point campaign since 2017-18.

Gabriel Vilardi - Hat trick in Thursday's win Vilardi scored three goals on nine shots in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Flames.

Impact One goal was on the power play and the last one went into an empty-net. Vilardi had gone scoreless over his last four contests, two on each side of a four-week absence with an enlarged spleen. The 24-year-old is up to 19 goals, 33 points, 108 shots on net and a plus-11 rating through just 41 contests this season. He's seen time on the first line lately, though the Jets' forward combinations remain unsettled. Vilardi's a lock for the top six and should also continue to see plenty of power-play usage, so he's a strong depth option in fantasy.

APRIL 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Connor Hellebuyck - Sharp in Thursday's win Hellebuyck stopped 31 of 33 shots in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Flames.

Impact Hellebuyck ended his personal five-game losing streak with a strong showing that clinched a playoff spot for the Jets. The 30-year-old has had few slumps this season, which makes his recent cold spell all the more surprising. Overall, he's at 33-19-4 with a 2.42 GAA and a .920 save percentage over 56 starts. The Jets still have positioning to play for over the last two weeks of the regular season, but it wouldn't be surprising to see Hellebuyck get a little rest, which would allow Laurent Brossoit to get some additional playing time. The Jets begin a four-game road trip Saturday in Minnesota.
