Salomonsson scored a goal on four shots and went plus-2 in Friday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Ducks.

Injuries to multiple defensemen have left the Jets thin on the blue line. That will allow Salomonsson to get some on-the-job training as the Jets navigate the last quarter or so of the campaign. His tally at 1:27 of the third period put the Jets ahead 3-1, but it wasn't enough. Through 15 NHL contests, he's posted 21 shots on net, 16 hits, 14 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating in a bottom-four role.

Vilardi scored a power-play goal on two shots in Friday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Ducks.

Vilardi extended his point streak to five games (three goals, three assists). This was his first power-play tally since Jan. 15 versus the Wild. The 26-year-old forward's spots on the top line and first power-play unit have largely helped him avoid the scoring struggles of many of his teammates. Vilardi is at 23 goals, 52 points (17 on the power play), 115 shots on net and a minus-1 rating across 58 appearances. He's on pace to surpass the 61-point regular season he put forth in a career-high 71 outings last year.

Connor scored a goal on three shots and added a power-play assist in Friday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Ducks.

Connor's goal late in the third period forced overtime. He's scored in four straight contests and has five goals and six helpers during an eight-game point streak. For the season, the 29-year-old winger is up to 27 goals, 40 helpers, 192 shots on net and a minus-2 rating over 58 appearances. He's well on his way to finishing with at least 80 points for the fourth time in five years.

Iafallo scored a goal and added an assist in Friday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Ducks.

Iafallo had been limited to one assist over his previous 10 contests. The 32-year-old winger has been on the second line coming out of the Olympic break. He's now at 10 goals, 22 points, 73 shots on net, 79 hits, 40 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through 58 appearances. Iafallo's versatility has seen him move around the Jets' lineup, but he doesn't have a lot of scoring upside.

Hellebuyck stopped 35 of 40 shots in Friday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Ducks.

That's not the Team USA defense in front of him anymore, and it showed as Hellebuyck did what he could. The Jets are dealing with a number of injuries on the blue line, which could make things risky for fantasy managers hoping Hellebuyck's Olympic momentum would carry over. He's now 13-16-8 with a 2.84 GAA and an .899 save percentage over 37 contests. He'll likely continue to see a hefty workload, at least until the Jets get mathematically eliminated from playoff contention. They close out their current road trip Sunday in San Jose.

Sennecke notched three assists (one with the man advantage), three shots on goal, three hits and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 5-4 overtime win over the Jets.

Sennecke had two helpers in the third period and also set up Chris Kreider's game-winning goal in overtime. With four goals and six assists over his last seven outings, Sennecke has found a groove again. The rookie is up to 19 goals, 29 helpers, 134 shots on net, 67 hits, 36 PIM and a minus-4 rating over 58 appearances this season. He continues to fill a top-six role with power-play time.

Poehling scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Friday's 5-4 overtime win over the Jets.

Poehling has been trusted with a larger role and has responded with three goals and five assists over his last 10 outings. The 27-year-old forward was listed on the third line Friday but still saw 19:10 of ice time in an 11-forward lineup. He's up to six goals, 23 points, 56 shots on net, 59 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating across 51 appearances. His offense doesn't stand out in standard formats, but he can help in deeper fantasy leagues.

Trouba scored a goal on three shots, added two hits and blocked two shots in Friday's 5-4 overtime win over the Jets.

Trouba has two goals and three assists over four outings in February. He got the Ducks on the board in the last minute of the second period, setting the stage for their comeback rally in the third. The 32-year-old defenseman is up to 10 goals, 27 points, 117 shots on net, 105 hits, 112 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 57 appearances. This is just the third time in his 13-year career that he's reached double digits in goals.

Kreider scored the game-winning goal in Friday's 5-4 overtime win over the Jets.

Kreider tallied at 4:47 of the extra session on a pass from Beckett Sennecke. With five goals and three assists over his last eight contests, Kreider's offense is rolling. He has 20 tallies, 33 points, 100 shots on net, 45 hits and a minus-2 rating across 52 appearances this season, playing primarily in a top-six role.

Carlsson scored a power-play goal on three shots in Friday's 5-4 overtime win over the Jets.

Carlsson has four points over two games since he returned from a thigh injury. The 21-year-old center reached the 20-goal mark for the second year in a row, doing so in his 46th game of 2025-26. He's added 28 helpers, 14 power-play points, 114 shots on net and a plus-2 rating. Carlsson has all the tools to be a successful top-line center as one of the leaders for the Ducks as they come out of their rebuilding era.
