Vilardi recorded two assists, including one on the power play, in Friday's 5-1 win over the Kings.

Vilardi has a goal and five helpers over five contests in January. His power-play assist Friday was his first contribution with the man advantage since Dec. 21 versus the Mammoth. Vilardi has remained fairly steady on offense despite the Jets' overall struggles, though his production for fantasy mostly comes from points and shots. The 26-year-old is now at 39 points (11 on the power play), 86 shots on net and a minus-1 rating across 43 appearances.

Namestnikov scored a goal on two shots in Friday's 5-1 win over the Kings.

Namestnikov had gone 29 games without a goal and 17 contests without a point prior to Friday. That earned him a trip to the press box as a healthy scratch Thursday versus the Oilers, but he returned to replace Morgan Barron (undisclosed) in the lineup for this game. Namestnikov has typically been pretty dependable in his Jets tenure, but his offense has faltered amid the team's struggles this year. He's at seven goals, two assists, 54 shots on net, 53 hits, 26 blocked shots, 22 PIM and a minus-7 rating over 42 appearances. He'll likely have to rebuild trust in a bottom-six role for a while.

Toews scored a goal and added two hits in Friday's 5-1 win over the Kings.

Toews had gone nearly two months without a goal -- his last one was versus the Canucks on Nov. 11. The center was cold for much of the 26 contests in between, but he's picked up the pace with five points over his last eight outings. For the season, Toews has 14 points, 59 shots on net, 22 blocked shots, 22 PIM and a minus-13 rating across 43 appearances.

Scheifele scored a pair of goals, including one on the power play, in Friday's 5-1 win over the Kings.

Scheifele ended a three-game goal drought by scoring twice in the second period. The 32-year-old center has four goals and three assists over five outings in January, with all of his production coming in a trio of multi-point efforts. He's up to 22 goals, 52 points (10 on the power play), 94 shots on net and a plus-7 rating across 43 outings overall.

Barre-Boulet notched three assists in AHL Colorado's 5-4 shootout loss to San Diego on Friday.

Barre-Boulet has logged four multi-point efforts during his nine-game point streak. He has a total of four goals and 12 assists in that span. For the season, the 28-year-old forward is up to 10 goals and 22 helpers through 31 outings. Given his recent success, it wouldn't be shocking for the Avalanche to give him a look at the NHL level while the big club is dealing with multiple forward injuries.

Moore scored a power-play goal on two shots and went minus-3 in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Capitals.

Moore has earned five points over his last six games, with four of those points coming on the power play. His goal was all the Blackhawks could muster with a lineup depleted by a stomach illness. The 20-year-old Moore is up to five goals, 14 points, 40 shots on net, 18 hits, 10 blocked shots and a minus-10 rating over 32 appearances this season.

Dowd recorded an assist, two shots on goal, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 5-1 win over the Blackhawks.

Dowd hasn't scored since Dec. 11 versus the Hurricanes, but he hasn't gone more than three games without a point since, earning five helpers over 14 contests in that span. The 35-year-old defensive center continues to see key minutes in a shutdown role. He's earned 11 points, 36 shots on net, 31 PIM, 59 hits, 27 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 37 outings this season.

Frank scored a goal and went plus-2 in Friday's 5-1 win over the Blackhawks.

Frank ended an eight-game goal drought with the tally. The 27-year-old winger has been in a bottom-six role lately, which won't give him a ton of opportunities on offense. He's contributed seven goals, 15 points, 50 shots on net, 26 hits, 21 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating through 34 outings overall.

McMichael scored a goal on three shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Friday's 5-1 win over the Blackhawks.

McMichael's first-period tally stood as the game-winner, and he also set up a Justin Sourdif goal in the second. The goal snapped a 13-game stretch without one, though McMichael has heated up with seven helpers over his last six outings as well. The 24-year-old is now at six goals, 21 assists, 88 shots on net and a plus-7 rating across 45 appearances in a middle-six role this season.

Kaskimaki scored twice in AHL Springfield's 7-4 win over Hartford on Friday.

Kaskimaki has five goals and three assists over nine games after a stint in the NHL with the Blues. For the season, the Finnish forward has nine goals and 15 points through 25 appearances at the AHL level. The 21-year-old forward likely still needs a bit of time to develop, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him challenge for a full-time NHL job in 2026-27.
