Rotowire

The 25-year-old is up to 12 goals, 10 assists, 57 shots on net and a plus-2 rating through 30 appearances. He doesn't boast as high a ceiling as his linemates, but Vilardi is shaping up to be a reliable offense-only option for fantasy managers.

Jets' Gabriel Vilardi: Tallies in Saturday's win
Rotowire
Vilardi scored a goal in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Blackhawks.
Vilardi has three points over his last two games and appears to be coming back around on offense. He had a strong October, but his consistency petered out in late November. The 25-year-old remains in a top-line role, and he's nearly halfway to his career high in points (41), set in 2022-23 with the Kings over 63 games. Vilardi has 11 goals, 20 points, 52 shots on net and a plus-2 rating through 28 appearances this season.

Rotowire
Vilardi had a goal and an assist in a 3-2 overtime win over the Sabres on Thursday.

It was Vilardi's first multi-point game in more than a month -- he had a goal and assist Oct. 30 against the Red Wings. Overall, he has 10 goals, nine assists and 51 shots over 27 games this season. Vilardi is on pace for his first-ever 30-goal season and is a solid fantasy contributor.

Jets' Gabriel Vilardi: Power-play tally in loss
Rotowire
Vilardi scored a power-play goal in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Kings.
Vilardi got the Jets on the board at 9:12 of the second period, but his tally was all they could muster on 14 shots against David Rittich and the Kings. The 25-year-old Vilardi has three points over his last seven contests, and both of his goals in that span have come on the power play. It's a slight drop from the eight-game point streak he had from Oct. 28 to Nov. 12. For the season, Vilardi has nine goals, 17 points (eight on the power play), 44 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating through 23 appearances.

Jets' Gabriel Vilardi: Strikes on power play Friday
Rotowire
Vilardi scored a power-play goal and won 12 of 16 faceoffs in Friday's 4-1 win over the Penguins.
Vilardi is a natural center, but he has frequently served as a winger this season. It's unclear what led to his larger role at the dot Friday -- Mark Scheifele took just two draws, but there's been no report of him dealing with an injury. Vilardi hasn't posted a multi-point effort in November, but he has five goals and three assists over 10 appearances this month as he continues to be steady on offense. Overall, he has eight goals, eight helpers, seven power-play points, 38 shots on net and a plus-3 rating across 20 contests.

Jets' Gabriel Vilardi: Nabs helper in win
Rotowire
Vilardi notched an assist and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Panthers.
Vilardi didn't have the same success as linemates Mark Scheifele (hat trick) or Kyle Connor (goal and assist) in this contest. Still, Vilardi has kept a strong scoring pace and bounced back from his first multi-game drought since Oct. 20-22. The 25-year-old forward has seven goals, eight helpers, 37 shots on net and a plus-3 rating through 19 appearances this season. He's on pace to challenge for a 60-point campaign, and his 18.9 shooting percentage isn't a huge concern since he's been right around that level in each of the previous two seasons.

Jets' Gabriel Vilardi: Deposits power-play goal
Rotowire
Vilardi scored a power-play goal on three shots and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Rangers.
Vilardi stretched his point streak to eight games with the tally. In that span, he has six goals and four assists, and four of those 10 points have come on the power play. The 25-year-old looks to be setting himself up for a breakout campaign with 14 points (six on the power play), 35 shots on net and a plus-5 rating over 16 appearances. That's approximately a 70-point pace over a full campaign -- Vilardi's career high is 41 points in 63 outings in 2022-23 with the Kings, though he had a better per-game rate with 36 points in 47 regular-season outings last season.

Jets' Gabriel Vilardi: Scores lone goal in win
Rotowire
Vilardi scored a goal on four shots in Thursday's 1-0 win over the Avalanche.
Mark Scheifele forced a turnover at the Jets' blue line and then fed Vilardi for the goal on a 2-on-1. The tally at 1:06 of the first period was the lone one in the game, and it was Vilardi's second game-winner this season. The 25-year-old has five goals and three assists over his last six contests, giving him 12 points, 29 shots on net and a plus-2 rating over 14 appearances. He'll have solid fantasy value as a scoring-only option as long as he's able to play on the top line.

Jets' Gabriel Vilardi: Nets power-play goal
Rotowire
Vilardi scored a power-play goal in Tuesday's 3-0 win over Utah.
Vilardi went goalless in his first six appearances this season, but that drought seems like a distant memory now. The 25-year-old playmaker has found the back of the net in seven of his last seven contests, a span in which he's also racked up three assists, meaning he's tallying more than a point per game in that stretch. Vilardi is not likely to keep producing at this rate on a long-term basis, but he's certainly reaping the benefits of the Jets' strong start to the campaign. He should continue to have plenty of opportunities to produce as long as he remains on the first line of the Jets' offense and No. 1 power-play unit.

Jets' Gabriel Vilardi: Two-point effort in Detroit
Rotowire
Vilardi produced a goal and an assist in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Red Wings.
Both points came in the first period, and Vilardi opened the scoring by snapping home a slick pass from Kyle Connor just 2:48 into the game. Vilardi was one of the rare Jets to have a quiet start to the season, but the 25-year-old has now posted back-to-back multi-point performances and has three goals and eight points through 10 contests.

Jets' Gabriel Vilardi: Nets first goal of season
Rotowire
Vilardi scored a goal on three shots and blocked two shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Kraken.
The goal was Vilardi's first of the season. The 25-year-old winger has maintained a top-line role at even strength, but he hasn't enjoyed the same success as his linemates Mark Scheifele and Kyle Connor. Through seven contests, Vilardi has four points, eight shots on net and a minus-2 rating. As long as he stays on the top line, he'll have ample upside.

Jets' Gabriel Vilardi: Adds pair of assists
Rotowire
Vilardi recorded two assists in Friday's 8-3 win over the Sharks.
One of Vilardi's helpers came on the power play. The 25-year-old continues to play in a top-line role, and he saw 21:23 of ice time Friday while compiling his first multi-point effort of the season. He's earned three assists (two on the power play) and four shots on net through four contests, but he's not adding much else in the way of non-scoring numbers. That's not unusual, as Vilardi is a skilled forward, but his fantasy value will be closely tied to his offense.

Jets' Gabriel Vilardi: Registers power-play helper
Rotowire
Vilardi notched a power-play assist in Wednesday's 6-0 win over the Oilers.
Vilardi helped out on a Mark Scheifele tally in the third period. The 25-year-old Vilardi is getting the first chance to make an impact on the Jets' top line, playing right wing alongside Scheifele and Kyle Connor. In his first year with the Jets, Vilardi had 22 goals and 14 assists over 47 regular-season games in a campaign disrupted by two major injuries. He could find another level on offense if he stays healthy, but he's yet to play in more than 63 games in a single season after back injuries early in his career and last season's battles with a knee injury and an enlarged spleen.

Jets' Gabriel Vilardi: Adds helper in loss
Rotowire
Vilardi notched an assist, two shots on goal, two PIM and a minus-2 rating in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche in Game 2.
Vilardi has earned three helpers through two playoff contests. He's also recorded four shots on net while seeing top-line minutes. His scoring upside is limited compared to his linemates Mark Scheifele and Kyle Connor, but Vilardi could have some extra fantasy appeal if he stays in a first-line role throughout the playoffs.

Rotowire
Vilardi scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over Nashville.
Vilardi got the Jets on the board 6:51 into the first period, beating Juuse Saros with a nifty between-the-legs shot on the power play to tie the game 1-1. The 24-year-old Vilardi now has four goals in five games since returning from a month-long stint on IR. Overall, he's up to 20 goals and 34 points through 43 games this season while skating in a top-line role.

Jets' Gabriel Vilardi: Hat trick in Thursday's win
Rotowire
Vilardi scored three goals on nine shots in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Flames.
One goal was on the power play and the last one went into an empty net. Vilardi had gone scoreless over his last four contests, two on each side of a four-week absence with an enlarged spleen. The 24-year-old is up to 19 goals, 33 points, 108 shots on net and a plus-11 rating through just 41 contests this season. He's seen time on the first line lately, though the Jets' forward combinations remain unsettled. Vilardi's a lock for the top six and should also continue to see plenty of power-play usage, so he's a strong depth option in fantasy.

Jets' Gabriel Vilardi: Returning Saturday
Rotowire
Vilardi (enlarged spleen) will be back in the lineup Saturday versus Ottawa, according to Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site.
It has been a tough four weeks for Vilardi, who will return to the top line, alongside Kyle Connor and Mark Scheifele. Vilardi missed 15 games and the Jets struggled, going 7-7-1. Vilardi has 16 goals and 30 points in just 38 games this season, including six goals and 11 points on the power play.
