Jets' Mason Appleton: Two points in Calgary
Rotowire
Appleton scored a goal and added an assist in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Flames.
The Jets' third line of Appleton, Adam Lowry and Nino Niederreiter combined for six points on the night, with both of Appleton's points coming in the third period as Winnipeg broke open a 2-2 tie. The 28-year-old is off to the best start of his career, racking up three goals and eight points in eight games, but Appleton likely won't be able to maintain that pace much longer -- his career highs are 14 goals and 36 points, both set over 82 regular-season games in 2023-24.

Jets' Mason Appleton: Leads offense with three points
Rotowire
Appleton scored a goal on three shots, added two assists, went plus-3 and logged two hits in Wednesday's 6-0 win over the Oilers.
Appleton and linemates Adam Lowry and Nino Niederreiter were a big part of the Jets' early offense, factoring in on three of the team's first four goals. That trio often functions as a shutdown line, but Wednesday's performance showed how they can control play on offense as well. Appleton had a career-high 14 goals and 36 points in 82 regular-season games last year, and his hot start to 2024-25 gives him a chance of putting up similar numbers.

Appleton enjoyed a healthy campaign in 2023-24, leading to him producing a career-high 36 points with 122 shots on net, 107 hits and a plus-16 rating over 82 appearances. He's a fixture on the Jets' third line, so his offense is likely to be occasional rather than frequent in the postseason.

Jets' Mason Appleton: Powers up against Anaheim
Rotowire
Appleton netted a power-play goal in Friday's 6-0 win over the Ducks.
Appleton's power-play tally rounded out the scoring Friday as the Jets made it look easy in this home contest. However, we can consider the Appleton goal to be rather clutch for DFS players who took a chance on him, as there were only two games on Friday's slate, with the other matchup being a Kings' 5-0 shutout to the detriment of the Blackhawks. It's probably worth turning your attention to Appleton, who is a versatile third-line forward. He also has two goals and five assists through eight March contests.

The 27-year-old is up to 20 points, hitting that threshold for the third time in his career. He's added 53 shots on net, 36 hits, 25 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating, but fantasy managers may want to find a bit more scoring pop on the waiver wire.

Rotowire
Appleton scored a goal with a plus-1 rating in Tuesday's 4-2 win against the Blues.
