Morrissey scored a goal on four shots, added two PIM and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Islanders.

Morrissey's strong start to January continues -- he has two goals and five assists over seven contests so far this month. His tally put the Jets ahead 2-0 in the second period. Morrissey is at eight goals, 37 points, 80 shots on net, 80 blocked shots, 20 PIM and a plus-12 rating over 45 appearances. He's on pace to top the 60-point mark for a fourth consecutive season, and he could flirt with 70 if he stays consistent.

Lowry scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Islanders.

Lowry ended a three-game dry spell with the effort, which included the game-winning goal at 19:40 of the second period. The 32-year-old center took some time to get up to speed after missing the first few weeks of the campaign while recovering from hip surgery. He's earned 11 points in 33 outings so far, with six of those points coming over the last nine contests. Lowry has added 34 shots on net, 68 hits, 25 blocked shots, 15 PIM and a plus-3 rating while mainly featuring on the third line.

Connor scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Islanders.

Connor saw a five-game point streak snapped Sunday versus the Devils. He bounced right back, earning his third multi-point effort in his last six outings. The 29-year-old winger is up to 22 goals, 54 points, 138 shots on net and a plus-3 rating through 45 appearances. Connor remains among the best scoring-only wingers in fantasy, even as the Jets have experienced a down year as a team.

Hellebuyck allowed four goals on 27 shots in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Islanders.

Hellebuyck was able to get away with less than his best this time. He gave up three of the goals in a span of 2:41 during the second period, but the Jets responded to that sequence with two goals of their own, which were enough to win. This was Hellebuyck's second win in a row, but he's allowed three-plus goals in eight of his last 10 outings. He's at an 11-12-4 record with a 2.75 GAA and an .899 save percentage through 27 starts this season. The Jets' next game is on the road in Minnesota on Thursday.

Lankinen made 38 saves in a 2-1 loss to Ottawa on Tuesday.

He wobbled in the first, allowing two goals in 15 seconds, but shook that off and was perfect from that point forward. Lankinen last won Dec. 29 in Seattle. He's in the starter's seat because Thatcher Demko (lower body) is on injured reserve. Lankinen is a tough activation due to the Canucks' 0-6-2 run over their last eight games. He has it in him, though -- those 25 wins last season were real.

Merilainen made 19 saves in a 2-1 win over Vancouver on Tuesday.

The young netminder hadn't won since Jan. 3, so the victory was a huge weight lifted off. Merilainen has played eight straight, but he could get time off this week. There is a good chance free agent signee James Reimer will play this week, and Linus Ullmark (personal) skated Tuesday. Merilainen's future remains bright, but he could be sent down to the AHL for a more structured development experience.

Psenicka notched two assists in WHL Portland's 5-0 win over Moose Jaw on Tuesday.

Psenicka earned just his second multi-point effort of the season. He's essentially doubled his scoring pace in 2025-26 with 14 points over 27 outings, compared to seven points in 24 regular-season games last year after joining Portland midseason. The Mammoth prospect, a second-round pick in 2025, may never be a big scorer, but he tracks as a potentially strong shutdown defenseman as a professional.

Moser scored a goal Tuesday in a 2-1 shootout win over the Penguins.

Moser was J.J. on the spot at the crease when Arturs Silovs dropped a puck in the crease, and he stuffed it under the netminder. The defenseman has 15 points, including five goals, and a remarkable plus-37 rating in 43 contests this season. Moser has gone on a few multi-game point streaks this season. No guarantees this time, but we won't rule it out either.

Prishchepov scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Colorado's 6-3 loss to Ontario on Tuesday.

Prishchepov lost about six weeks at the start of the season while recovering from an undisclosed injury. He's done a fine job with the Eagles so far, earning two goals and eight assists across 16 outings, with five of those points coming over the last two games. He saw some time with the Avalanche in 2024-25, but it would take a number of injuries to get him in the mix this season.

Bradley scored two goals in AHL Colorado's 6-3 loss to Ontario on Tuesday.

Bradley missed over two months of action from early November to early January, but he's picked up four goals and an assist over four games since he returned. He's at seven points, 33 shots on net and a plus-6 rating through 15 appearances this season.
