Scheifele tallied a goal, supplied two assists, fired six shots on net and blocked two shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over Vancouver.
Scheifele played a hand in all three goals scored by the Jets, including Josh Morrissey's game-winning goal in overtime.

Teddy Blueger C | TOR
Canucks' Teddy Blueger: Add two helpers Saturday
Blueger dished out two assists and put two shots on net in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to Winnipeg.
Blueger continued his success when healthy this season with his second multi-point game of the campaign. Since Jan. 23, the 31-year-old center has 10 points across 13 games. Overall, he has 11 points and 34 hits across 16 outings this season. Blueger offers a solid floor in deeper fantasy leagues. Barring another injury, he is still on track to reach the 20-point threshold despite missing the majority of the season.

Liam Ohgren LW | VAN
Canucks' Liam Ohgren: Finds twine in loss
Ohgren scored a goal and placed four shots on net in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Jets.
Ohgren gave Vancouver a 2-1 advantage early in the third period before the Jets scored two consecutive goals to steal the win. He is up to six goals, 11 points, 66 shots on net, 56 hits and 28 blocked shots across 50 games this season. With Conor Garland shipped out to Columbus at the trade deadline, Ohgren has a chance to see a bump in minutes on the wing if the latter continues to find consistency in the offensive zone.

Linus Karlsson C | VAN
Canucks' Linus Karlsson: Nets opening goal
Karlsson tallied a goal and recorded an assist in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to Winnipeg.
Karlsson placed the Canucks on the board just under seven and a half minutes into the opening period. He later picked up the secondary helper on Liam Ohgren's goal in the third period to secure Karlsson's third multi-point game of the campaign. Overall, Karlsson is up to 12 goals, 16 assists, 90 shots on net and 71 hits over 60 games this season. With the Canucks undergoing some roster turnover at the trade deadline, Karlsson might have an opportunity to carve out a middle-six role during the remainder of the regular season.

Connor Hellebuyck G | NJ
Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Hangs on for OT win
Hellebuyck stopped 21 of 23 shots on net in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Canucks.
Hellebuyck dialed in down the stretch to allow the Jets to score the game-tying tally with just under five minutes remaining in regulation before Josh Morrissey sent him home with the win. Overall, Hellebuyck now has a 16-16-9 record, a 2.73 GAA and a .902 save percentage through 41 appearances this season. Since returning from the Olympics, the 32-year-old netminder has been unbeaten in regulation and has won each of his last three starts. Hellebuyck has a bright fantasy outlook for the remainder of the season while the Jets make a push for a playoff spot.

Kevin Lankinen G | VAN
Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Falls in OT on Saturday
Lankinen turned aside 32 of 35 shots on goal in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Jets.
Lankinen, who hasn't won a game since Jan. 21, kept the Canucks' net tidy until there were 12 seconds remaining in the second period, but he ultimately fell to Josh Morrissey's game-winning tally in overtime. With the OT loss, Lankinen now holds a 7-20-5 record, a 3.73 GAA, and an .875 save percentage across 35 outings this season. The 30-year-old goalie will have a difficult task in fantasy for the remainder of the regular season while backstopping a rebuilding Canucks roster. His next chance to bounce back is Monday against Ottawa.

Oliver Bjorkstrand RW | NYR
Lightning's Oliver Bjorkstrand: Buries power-play tally
Bjorkstrand scored a power-play goal on two shots and added three hits in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs.
Bjorkstrand had the third goal in a span of 2:36 during the second period for the Lightning. He had been limited to one helper over his previous five outings. Bjorkstrand is up to 11 goals, 29 points (14 on the power play), 107 shots on net, 56 hits, 29 blocked shots and a minus-10 rating across 61 appearances this season. He mainly plays in a middle-six role, though his spot on the first power-play unit boosts his fantasy value.

Tommy Novak C | PIT
Penguins' Thomas Novak: Pots power-play goal Saturday
Novak scored a power-play goal in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Flyers.
Novak had been limited to one assist over his previous four outings. The Penguins are thin up front right now with Sidney Crosby (lower body) hurt and Evgeni Malkin (suspension) sidelined, so Novak has an opportunity to take on a larger role despite the weakened supporting cast. The 28-year-old Novak has done a fine job so far with 13 goals, 34 points (seven on the power play), 95 shots on net and a plus-1 rating over 62 appearances this season.
