Bedard recorded an assist in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Golden Knights.

Bedard has three goals and two assists over his last six outings. The 19-year-old center is up to 20 goals, 37 helpers, 171 shots on net, 62 PIM and a minus-37 rating through 73 outings overall. He should be able to get back to the 60-point mark for the second year in a row, but his offense hasn't seen much growth in 2024-25, though he's way too young to be written off for future seasons.

Donato scored all three goals in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Golden Knights.

Donato's storybook season continues -- the only negative for him is playing on a team miles out of contention. The 28-year-old has been exceptional with five goals and two assists over his last three contests, and he has nine tallies and 18 points through 14 outings this month. Overall, he's at 28 goals, 58 points, 166 shots on net, 102 hits and a minus-16 rating through 71 appearances.

Eichel notched an assist and went plus-2 in Friday's 5-3 win over the Blackhawks.

Eichel has five goals and six assists during his five-game point streak, which he extended on a Mark Stone tally in Friday's contest. The 28-year-old Eichel continues to build on his career year and the best individual season in Vegas franchise history. He's at 26 goals, 65 helpers, 217 shots on net, 50 blocked shots and a plus-33 rating through 71 appearances.

Karlsson logged three assists and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 5-3 win over the Blackhawks.

One of Karlsson's helpers came on the power play. He's earned six assists, including three with the man advantage, over five games since returning from a lower-body injury, though he hasn't scored in that stretch. Overall, the center has seven goals, 17 helpers (five on the power play), 97 shots on net, 31 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating through 43 appearances.

Howden scored an empty-net goal in Friday's 5-3 win over the Blackhawks.

Howden has four goals and an assist over his last seven contests. The 26-year-old has slipped to the fourth line, but he's still finding ways to produce, and the Golden Knights' deep offense continues to benefit him. For the season, he's at 21 goals, 35 points, 113 shots on net, 106 hits, 50 blocked shots and a plus-13 rating over 70 appearances.

Dorofeyev scored a power-play goal in Friday's 5-3 win over the Blackhawks.

Dorofeyev has seven goals and two assists over his last 10 outings, with three of those tallies coming on the power play. The 24-year-old winger is up to 31 goals, 47 points, 218 shots on net and a minus-3 rating through 72 contests overall. He's been a breakout player this season, good for about two points every three games while playing on the second line.

Barron logged an assist and three hits in Friday's 4-0 win over the Devils.

Barron has been steady on the fourth line lately with a goal and three assists over his last seven outings. He helped out on a David Gustafsson tally in the first period, which gave the Jets a 2-0 lead. Barron is currently centering the line, a change from earlier in the year when Gustafsson played down the middle with Barron on the wing. Overall, Barron has 12 points, 76 shots on net, 104 hits and a plus-7 rating across 65 appearances.

Gustafsson scored a goal in Friday's 4-0 win over the Devils.

Gustafsson's point drought was only six games, but he had been scratched 11 times in that span. The 24-year-old drew back into the lineup since Rasmus Kupari (concussion) is experiencing symptoms from an earlier injury. Gustafsson will likely remain on the fourth line until the Jets get Kupari or Gabriel Vilardi (upper body) back. For the season, Gustafsson has two goals, six points, a plus-10 rating, 27 shots on net, 18 hits and 18 blocked shots over 30 appearances.

Scheifele scored a goal, dished an assist, added two hits and went plus-2 in Friday's 4-0 win over the Devils.

Scheifele's point streak is up to four games, and he snapped a nine-game stretch without a goal when he scored late in the second period. The center still racked up seven assists during the goal drought. He's reached the 80-point mark for the third time in his career, posting 36 goals, 44 helpers, 152 shots on net, 68 hits, 51 blocked shots, 57 PIM and a plus-12 rating through 73 appearances. He's four points from matching his career-best 84 from the 2018-19 campaign.

Contrary to a previous report, Blueger (illness) is projected to play Friday versus the Blue Jackets, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

Blueger was not initially expected to play, but it looks like he checked out fine in warmups. He'll likely center the second line again, but he may be on reduced minutes if his illness bothers him during the contest.
