Kuemper is expected to start on the road against the Islanders on Friday, per Mayor's Manor.

Kuemper has a 15-13-10 record, 2.70 GAA and .897 save percentage in 40 appearances in 2025-26. He's struggled recently, posting a 1-3-1 record, 3.84 GAA and .857 save percentage across his past five outings. The Islanders have been fantastic across their past nine games, going 7-2-0 while averaging 3.44 goals per game.

Bryson logged an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Rangers.

This was Bryson's first point in three games since he was traded from the Sabres. The 28-year-old defenseman has taken over on the third pairing, though he could lose his spot if Neal Pionk (undisclosed) or Colin Miller (knee) return before the end of the season. Bryson has little fantasy upside -- he has six points, 15 shots on net, 21 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating over 38 NHL appearances this season.

Lowry logged an assist and six hits in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Rangers.

Lowry set up a Gabriel Vilardi goal to tie the game at 3-3 in the third period. The helper ended a five-game point drought for Lowry, who has gone 19 contests without a goal. He has six assists and 22 shots on net in that span. For the season, the veteran center is at just 17 points with 56 shots on net, 110 hits, 34 blocked shots and 21 PIM over 52 appearances in a middle-six role.

Rosen scored a goal in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Rangers.

Rosen was acquired from the Sabres on March 5 in a deal that sent Logan Stanley and Luke Schenn the other way. The 22-year-old Rosen has potential, but he's currently in a third-line role for the Jets, so his opportunities for the rest of this season will likely be limited. He's earned four goals, eight points, 19 shots on net, 12 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over 19 NHL appearances between Buffalo and Winnipeg this season.

Vilardi scored a goal on two shots, added two PIM and went minus-2 in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Rangers.

Vilardi has two goals over his last three contests. He's been on the second line more often lately as the Jets try to cobble together different line combinations to balance their offense. The 26-year-old has produced 25 goals, 54 points, 121 shots on net and a minus-5 rating through 64 appearances, so he should remain a steady scorer in fantasy regardless of his role.

Schneider notched two assists, three hits, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Jets.

Schneider has four helpers and a plus-6 rating over his last five contests. The 24-year-old defenseman is still seeing top-four minutes even with the Rangers' blue line at full strength, though most of his value is in the physical categories. He's put up 15 points, 83 shots on net, 135 hits, 104 blocked shots, 20 PIM and a minus-4 rating through 65 outings this season, which will likely see him fall short of his 21-point output from last year.

Trocheck logged two assists, four hits and three blocked shots in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Jets.

Trocheck hasn't scored in his last eight games, but he has nine assists in that span. The center helped out on goals by Adam Edstrom and Noah Laba late in the third period to give the Rangers breathing room Thursday. Trocheck is up to 45 points (12 goals, 33 helpers), 88 shots on net, 149 hits, 40 blocked shots, 46 PIM and a minus-15 rating over 50 appearances in a top-six role.

Edstrom scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Jets.

Edstrom's goal was his first point in five games since he returned from a lower-body injury that cost him three months. The 25-year-old is in a bottom-six role for now, and it's unclear if he'll play regularly for the rest of the season. He's contributed just five points with 27 shots on net, 55 hits and a plus-4 rating over 29 appearances.

Laba scored a goal and added four hits in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Jets.

Laba has two goals and two assists over his last four contests. He's found extra success since the Rangers put him with Tye Kartye on the third line, as the duo has clicked well to give the Rangers some depth scoring. Laba is up to eight goals, 20 points, 58 shots on net, 93 hits and 39 blocked shots over 62 appearances as a rookie.

Fox scored a power-play goal and blocked four shots in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Jets.

Fox has a goal and three assists over his last five contests. He's earned his last three points with the man advantage. The 28-year-old defenseman's numbers are down this year after multiple injury absences. He's been limited to five goals, 32 points, 67 shots on net, 57 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 38 outings.
