Vilardi notched a power-play assist in Wednesday's 6-0 win over the Oilers.
Vilardi helped out on a Mark Scheifele tally in the third period. The 25-year-old Vilardi is getting the first chance to make an impact on the Jets' top line, playing right wing alongside Scheifele and Kyle Connor. In his first year with the Jets, Vilardi had 22 goals and 14 assists over 47 regular-season games in a campaign disrupted by two major injuries. He could find another level on offense if he stays healthy, but he's yet to play in more than 63 games in a single season after back injuries early in his career and last season's battles with a knee injury and an enlarged spleen.
