Namestnikov scored a goal, distributed three power-play assists and went plus-3 in Friday's 8-3 win over the Sharks.

Namestnikov didn't see any power-play time in the Jets' previous game amid a slow start to the year. That's in the rear-view mirror now, as the 31-year-old forward broke out of his early funk as one of three Jets to earn four points in this contest. The center has added three shots on net, four hits, four blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over four contests. He's centering the second line, though that trio with Cole Perfetti and Nikolaj Ehlers has seen limited ice time compared to the trio of Adam Lowry, Nino Niederreiter and Mason Appleton.
