  05/01/2024 • By RotoWire

  Vilardi recorded a power-play assist, three shots on goal, two hits and a minus-2 rating in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Avalanche in Game 5. Vilardi picked up four helpers, nine shots on net, four hits, six PIM and a minus-4 rating over five playoff contests. The 24-year-old had 36 points in just 47 regular-season outings, frequently featuring in a top-six role for the Jets. He is under contract for 2024-25 and should return to a similar assignment, which could put him in line for a breakout year before he reaches restricted free agency.

  04/24/2024 • By RotoWire

  Vilardi notched an assist, two shots on goal, two PIM and a minus-2 rating in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche in Game 2. Vilardi has earned three helpers through two playoff contests. He's also recorded four shots on net while seeing top-line minutes. His scoring upside is limited compared to his linemates Mark Scheifele and Kyle Connor, but Vilardi could have some extra fantasy appeal if he stays in a first-line role throughout the playoffs.

• Jets' Gabriel Vilardi: Hat trick in Thursday's win

  04/05/2024 • By RotoWire

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