Morrissey scored a goal, placed four shots on net and served two PIM in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Blues.

Morrissey's tally over halfway through Thursday's second period placed the Jets up 2-1, which would help the team keep the lead for the remainder of the contest. Overall, he is up to 14 goals, 55 points, 136 shots on net and 110 blocked shots across 73 games this season. The 31-year-old blueliner has been highly effective in the offensive zone recently with nine points and 21 shots on net over his last nine games. With four games remaining on Winnipeg's regular-season schedule, Morrissey sits five points away from 60 on the year, giving him an outside chance to reach that threshold for the fourth straight year.

Iafallo tallied a goal and placed three shots on net in Thursday's 3-2 win over St. Louis.

Iafallo leveled the score at one apiece midway through the first period. The tally brings him up to 13 goals, 29 points, 111 shots on net, 119 hits and 54 blocked shots across 78 games this season. While he's experienced multiple cold stretches offensively this year, the 32-year-old forward is trending back in the right direction with two goals and four points over his last eight games. He's been the third option on Winnipeg's top line of late, which has helped him come by more offensive production recently. Iafallo holds decent streaming value in deep fantasy leagues that value category coverage.

Binnington turned aside 31 of 34 shots on goal in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Jets.

Despite tending to a clean third period, Binnington allowed one goal in the first and two tallies in the second, which would be enough for Winnipeg to get the win. Following Thursday's loss, Binnington now has a 12-20-7 record, a 3.28 GAA and an .875 save percentage through 40 outings this season. While it's been a turbulent season for the 32-year-old netminder, he has stepped up his game of late with a 4-2-1 record, a 1.87 GAA and a .919 save percentage across his last seven appearances. With the Blues sitting as a long shot to snare a wild-card spot in the Western Conference, he will likely serve as the secondary option behind Joel Hofer the rest of the way.

Hellebuyck stopped 20 of 22 shots on net in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Blues.

Hellebuyck earned his third consecutive win Thursday during a performance in which he kept the Blues off the scoresheet in the second period. With the win, he is up to a 23-21-11 record, a 2.74 GAA and an .899 save percentage across 55 games this season. He's been one of the primary reasons the Jets are making a push for a wild-card spot in the Western Conference, as he's posted a 6-2-0 record, a 2.14 GAA and a .910 save percentage over his last eight games. He'll likely draw the remainder of the starts for Winnipeg during the regular season, giving him elite value for the rest of the fantasy playoffs.

Pettersson scored a goal in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Kings.

Pettersson suited up for his 600th NHL contest, and he marked the occasion with the Canucks' lone goal. The defenseman is up to four points over five games in April. He's at three goals, 18 points, 64 shots on net, 77 hits, 60 PIM, 133 blocked shots and a minus-15 rating over 78 appearances. Pettersson remains a defensive stalwart in a top-four role, but he'd need to sustain his recent success to get to the 20-point mark this year with four games left on the schedule.

Tolopilo allowed four goals on 26 shots in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Kings.

The Kings held a 2-1 lead after the first period and never let the Canucks back in. Tolopilo continues to have a thankless job as the Canucks' starter in the absence of Kevin Lankinen (upper body). This was Tolopilo's sixth straight loss, and it's the fifth time in that span he's allowed at least four goals. He's at a 5-11-2 record with a 3.66 GAA and an .881 save percentage over 20 appearances. Tolopilo and Jiri Patera are likely to split the next two games, as the Canucks visit the Sharks on Saturday and the Ducks on Sunday.

Panarin notched two assists, four shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Canucks.

Panarin has a goal and six helpers over five games in April. He had a hand in both of Adrian Kempe's tallies in this contest. Panarin is up to 27 goals, 55 assists, 220 shots on net and a minus-7 rating across 74 appearances this season. He's guaranteed to finish above a point-per-game pace for the ninth year in a row as he continues to be an elite top-line presence.

Armia scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Canucks.

Armia has scored three goals and added an assist over his last four games. The 32-year-old winger continues to fill a third-line spot, and he's doing well to provide a little grit and some depth scoring. He's now at 13 goals, 25 points, 86 shots on net, 71 hits, 36 blocked shots, 30 PIM and a plus-3 rating over 63 outings this season. Armia has posted at least 25 points in three straight seasons after missing the 20-point mark in the three years before that.

Moore scored a goal on five shots and added two hits in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Canucks.

Moore has three goals and four assists over his last eight outings. The 31-year-old winger is providing steady complementary offense on the second line lately, which makes him an option in some fantasy formats. He's up to 12 goals, 28 points, 147 shots on net, 56 hits, 34 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating through 65 appearances this season.

Kempe scored twice and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Canucks.

Kempe opened the scoring at 1:29 of the first period and added a second goal late in the middle frame. The 29-year-old is up to 34 goals, 37 helpers, 211 shots on net, 122 hits, 56 PIM and a plus-13 rating over 77 appearances. This is the third year in a row he's crossed the 70-point mark. He's surged with eight goals and four assists over his last seven outings, and that momentum puts him in a good spot to challenge his career high of 75 points from the 2023-24 regular season.
