Jets' Gabriel Vilardi: Scores lone goal in win
Gabriel Vilardi scored a goal on four shots in Thursday's 1-0 win over the Avalanche.Mark Scheifele forced a turnover at the Winnipeg Jets' blue line and then fed Vilardi for the goal on a 2-on-1. The tally at 1:06 of the first period was the lone one in the game, and it was Vilardi's second game-winner this season. The 25-year-old has five goals and three assists over his last six contests, giving him 12 points, 29 shots on net and a plus-2 rating over 14 appearances. He'll have solid fantasy value as a scoring-only option as long as he's able to play on the top line.

Jets' Gabriel Vilardi: Nets power-play goal
Gabriel Vilardi scored a power-play goal in Tuesday's 3-0 win over Utah.Vilardi went goalless in his first six appearances this season, but that drought seems like a distant memory now. The 25-year-old playmaker has found the back of the net in seven of his last seven contests, a span in which he's also racked up three assists, meaning he's tallying more than a point per game in that stretch. Vilardi is not likely to keep producing at this rate on a long-term basis, but he's certainly reaping the benefits of the Winnipeg Jets' strong start to the campaign. He should continue to have plenty of opportunities to produce as long as he remains on the first line of the Jets' offense and No. 1 power-play unit.

Vilardi hasn't started as well as his linemates but still has two goals, six points (three on the power play), 12 shots on net and a minus-4 rating over nine outings.

Jets' Gabriel Vilardi: Adds pair of assists
Gabriel Vilardi recorded two assists in Friday's 8-3 win over the Sharks.One of Vilardi's helpers came on the power play. The 25-year-old continues to play in a top-line role, and he saw 21:23 of ice time Friday while compiling his first multi-point effort of the season. He's earned three assists (two on the power play) and four shots on net through four contests, but he's not adding much else in the way of non-scoring numbers. That's not unusual, as Vilardi is a skilled forward, but his fantasy value will be closely tied to his offense.

Jets' Gabriel Vilardi: Registers power-play helper
Gabriel 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 Winnipeg 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.

Gabriel Vilardi set up three goals in a 5-2 win over Calgary in preseason action on Wednesday.Vilardi is coming off his best point-per-game season (36 points, including 22 goals, in 47 games) and is poised for a career season. Vilardi is poised for regular shifts beside star veterans Kyle Connor and Mark Scheifele, and that near point-per-game average could deliver 65-70 points if he can stay healthy. But he's never played more than 63 regular-season games in a season, so have a contingency plan.
