Jets' Gabriel Vilardi: Strikes on power play Friday
Gabriel Vilardi scored a power-play goal and won 12 of 16 faceoffs in Friday's 4-1 win over the Penguins.Vilardi is a natural center, but he has frequently served as a winger this season. It's unclear what led to his larger role at the dot Friday -- Mark Scheifele took just two draws, but there's been no report of him dealing with an injury. Vilardi hasn't posted a multi-point effort in November, but he has five goals and three assists over 10 appearances this month as he continues to be steady on offense. Overall, he has eight goals, eight helpers, seven power-play points, 38 shots on net and a plus-3 rating across 20 contests.

Jets' Gabriel Vilardi: Nabs helper in win
Gabriel Vilardi notched an assist and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Panthers.Vilardi didn't have the same success as linemates Mark Scheifele (hat trick) or Kyle Connor (goal and assist) in this contest. Still, Vilardi has kept a strong scoring pace and bounced back from his first multi-game drought since Oct. 20-22. The 25-year-old forward has seven goals, eight helpers, 37 shots on net and a plus-3 rating through 19 appearances this season. He's on pace to challenge for a 60-point campaign, and his 18.9 shooting percentage isn't a huge concern since he's been right around that level in each of the previous two seasons.

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 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.

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.

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.
