Ben Kindel - Earns pair of points in loss Kindel scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Jets.

Impact Kindel missed the season opener due to a lower-body injury, but he's come out of the gate hot. He has two goals, one assist, seven shots on net and three hits over his first two outings of the season. Kindel is playing on the third line currently, but he also works on both sides of special teams, so he's in a position to rack up a bit more all-around production than his current even-strength role would normally suggest.

Adam Lowry - Pots goal Monday Lowry scored a goal, added five hits and went plus-2 in Monday's 3-2 win over the Penguins.

Impact Lowry's first goal of the season gave the Jets a 2-1 lead in the third period. The 33-year-old has collected three points, three shots on net, eight hits, three blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over three contests this season. He's working on the third line and doesn't have a power-play role, so Lowry's fantasy value will likely be limited to deeper formats and banger leagues.

Sergei Murashov - Stops 30 shots in loss Murashov stopped 30 of 33 shots in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Jets.

Impact Murashov got the start after Arturs Silovs allowed five goals on 25 shots in Saturday's overtime win over Montreal, and while he responded with a .909 save percentage, it wasn't enough to lift the Penguins to victory here. Expect Murashov to return to his regular backup role when Pittsburgh takes on Washington on Wednesday.

Clay Stevenson - Makes 29 saves in win Monday Stevenson stopped 29 of 31 shots in Monday's 3-2 win over the Penguins.

Impact Stevenson was beaten only by Ben Kindel in the second period and Declan Carlile in the third, keeping Winnipeg within striking distance until the offense erupted for three goals in a span of 4:19 during the final frame. The 27-year-old also protected the one-goal advantage late, denying Evgeni Malkin from the high slot in the closing seconds. Stevenson earned the victory in his Jets debut while making his sixth career NHL start, but he should remain Winnipeg's No. 2 option between the posts behind Stuart Skinner while Connor Hellebuyck (suspension) remains away from the team.

Declan Carlile - Keeps point streak alive Carlile scored a goal on three shots and added an assist in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Jets. He also blocked three shots.

Impact Carlile was involved directly in both of Pittsburgh's goals, earning the primary assist on Ben Kindel's second-period tally before scoring from the slot to tie the game at 2-2 with 11:07 remaining. The defenseman has enjoyed a tremendous start to his Penguins tenure, scoring in consecutive games and cracking the scoresheet in each of his first three regular-season appearances. Carlile has already surpassed his scoring output from the 2025-26 season, when he had just one goal across 42 regular-season contests with the Lightning.

Alex Iafallo - Provides goal, assist in win Iafallo scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in Monday's 3-2 win over the Penguins.

Impact Iafallo sparked Winnipeg's third-period comeback, tying the game at 4:43 before setting up Adam Lowry's go-ahead tally just over two minutes later. Both points came after coach Scott Arniel shuffled his bottom-nine combinations and moved Iafallo alongside Lowry and Isak Rosen. The veteran winger had been held without a point through Winnipeg's first two contests before breaking through with a multi-point effort Monday. However, as a bottom-six forward who had just 29 points across 79 regular-season appearances in 2025-26, Iafallo isn't expected to carry a ton of fantasy appeal in most formats.

Cole Perfetti - Scores game-winner Monday Perfetti scored a goal on four shots in Monday's 3-2 win over the Penguins.

Impact Perfetti broke a 2-2 tie just nine seconds after Declan Carlile had pulled Pittsburgh even in the third period, blasting home a feed from Josh Morrissey. The 24-year-old has opened the campaign in excellent form, producing two goals and three assists through three contests. Perfetti has found the scoresheet in each game and is seeing a prominent role alongside Mark Scheifele and Kyle Connor on Winnipeg's top line.
