Pionk managed an assist, two shots on goal, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 6-2 win over the Blue Jackets. Pionk got on the scoresheet for the second game in a row, and he's done so in eight of the Jets' first 11 games. The defenseman set up Mason Appleton's second-period tally, which was the game-winner. Pionk is offering a bit of everything early on with 13 points, 27 shots on net, 15 hits, 17 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating while playing on the second pairing and second power-play unit. The offense will fade eventually -- he's never finished with more than 45 points in a season -- but Pionk is looking like a strong blueliner for fantasy.

Pionk scored two goals, one on the power play, in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Red Wings. The veteran blueliner found the back of the net in the first and third periods, recording his first multi-goal performance since Oct. 19, 2022. Pionk has been one of the engines of Winnipeg's hot start to the season, piling up three goals and 12 points in 10 games with 25 shots on net, 16 blocked shots, 13 hits and a plus-5 rating.

Pionk notched two assists, one shorthanded, in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Flames. The veteran blueliner extended his point streak to five games with the performance, a stretch in which he's collected one goal and nine points. Pionk's hot start to the campaign has come without the benefit of consistent power-play time, and once the undefeated Jets begin to cool down, his production will likely cool down as well.

Pionk provided an assist, six shots on goal and three blocked shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Kraken. Pionk is off to a stellar start this season, and he's now on a four-game point streak. The 29-year-old defenseman has a goal, seven assists, 18 shots on net, 10 hits, 13 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating through seven appearances. He remains in a top-four role, and with the Jets starting the year 7-0-0, Pionk has emerged as a strong secondary scoring threat from the blue line to complement Josh Morrissey.

Pionk scored a power-play goal on two shots, dished three assists and went plus-2 in Friday's 8-3 win over the Sharks. One of his helpers also came on the power play, as the Jets' second unit made some noise in this contest. Pionk is up to five points, seven shots on net, five hits, two blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over four games. The 29-year-old defenseman has been a little less physical than usual, but over time, he should average out to being an excellent depth option for category coverage.
