Jets' Mark Scheifele: Scores in Wednesday's loss
Scheifele scored a goal on three shots in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Ducks.
Scheifele has six goals and six assists over 10 outings in December. The 31-year-old put the Jets ahead 2-1 early in the third period, but the lead slipped away late in the frame. The center is up to 18 tallies, 38 points, 77 shots on net and a plus-1 rating through 34 appearances this season. Scheifele has reached the 80-point mark twice in his career and could do so again in 2024-25 if he stays on his current pace.

Jets' Eric Comrie: Loses it late
Comrie stopped 28 of 31 shots in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Ducks.
The Jets were leading 2-1 late in the third period, but the Ducks scored twice in the final five minutes to steal it away. This was Comrie's fifth straight loss, and he's allowed at least three goals in each of those defeats. For the season, he's at a 3-5-0 record with a 3.05 GAA and a .902 save percentage over eight appearances. Expect Connor Hellebuyck to get the nod Saturday versus the Wild.

Jets' Eric Comrie: Starting in Anaheim
Comrie will protect the road goal versus the Ducks on Wednesday, Ducks PA Announcer Phil Hulett reports.
Comrie will get the second half of a back-to-back after Connor Hellebuyck won a 4-3 game over the Sharks on Tuesday. The 29-year-old Comrie has lost his last four games, allowing 13 goals on 120 shots in that span, but the Ducks make for a good chance for him to get back on track.

Jets' Nikolaj Ehlers: Taken off injured reserve
Ehlers (lower body) was removed from injured reserve ahead of Wednesday's matchup with Anaheim, per the NHL media site.
Ehlers was listed as a game-time call in the lead-up to Wednesday's contest, but his activation off IR clears the way for him to be in the lineup. The 28-year-old winger was sidelined for nine games due to his lower-body injury. Prior to his absence, Ehlers was stuck in a nine-game goal drought but did manage to rack up seven helpers over that stretch, including a trio of power-play points.

Jets' David Gustafsson: Designated for IR
Gustafsson (concussion) was placed on injured reserve by Winnipeg on Wednesday, per the NHL media site.
Gustafsson has already missed three games after suffering his concussion, meaning he can be activated at any time. The 24-year-old center has logged a mere three games this season, generating four hits, four shots and five PIM while averaging 7:55 of ice time.

Jets' Nikolaj Ehlers: Considered game-time decision
Ehlers (lower body) is considered a game-time decision for Wednesday's game against the Ducks.
Ehlers has been sidelined since Nov. 29 due to a lower-body injury he sustained against the Golden Knights, but he practiced in a regular jersey Monday and will be in the mix to return to game action Wednesday. The Jets will presumably monitor how he feels in the hours leading up to puck drop, and if he's unable to suit up Wednesday, it wouldn't be surprising to see him return Saturday against Minnesota or Monday against Toronto.

Jets' Dylan Coghlan: On waivers
Coghlan was waived by Winnipeg on Wednesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Coghlan made his NHL debut Nov. 29 against the Golden Knights, recording two shots and one hit in 14:38 of ice time. However, he hasn't been in the lineup since. The 26-year-old had 16 goals and 41 points over 61 regular-season appearances with AHL Springfield in 2023-24.

Jets' Colin Miller: Handling part-time duties
Miller suited up for the fourth time in the last 10 games Tuesday in a 4-3 win over the Sharks, logging two PIM in 13:49 of ice time.
Miller was a fixture on the third pairing early in the year, but the Jets started to fade in late November. That prompted head coach Scott Arniel to give some playing time to Dylan Coghlan and Ville Heinola, which has in turn led to Miller spending some games as a healthy scratch. The 32-year-old Miller has seven points, 34 shots on net, 34 hits, 22 blocked shots, 18 PIM and a plus-6 rating through 27 appearances, but he hasn't earned a point since Nov. 14.

Jets' Dylan DeMelo: Helpers in three straight games
DeMelo logged an assist, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Sharks.
DeMelo has a helper in three straight games, following a stretch of 14 contests in which he failed to record a point. The 31-year-old defenseman has remained in a top-four role throughout the year thanks to his steady defensive play. He's at six assists, 30 shots on net, 56 hits, 37 blocked shots, 16 PIM and a plus-11 rating over 33 outings this season.

Jets' Mason Appleton: Lends helper in win
Appleton registered an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Sharks.
Appleton helped out on Adam Lowry's game-winning goal late in the third period. With four points over his last six games, Appleton is chipping in offense again from his usual third-line role. The 28-year-old forward is up to 15 points, 52 shots on net, 33 hits and a plus-8 rating over 33 appearances. That level of production makes him a fringe option in fantasy, and he typically won't be a player to pick up in standard formats outside of his hot stretches.

Jets' Cole Perfetti: Nabs power-play assist
Perfetti recorded a power-play assist and three shots on goal in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Sharks.
Perfetti has picked up a helper in three of the last four contests, but he hasn't scored over nine games in December. The 22-year-old set up a Mark Scheifele tally in Tuesday's win. Perfetti is up to 20 points (eight on the power play), 61 shots on net, 21 hits and a plus-12 rating through 33 outings this season. He continues to fill a second-line role.

Jets' Gabriel Vilardi: Distributes three assists
Vilardi provided three assists, including two on the power play, and four shots on goal in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Sharks.
Vilardi has multiple points in four of his last seven games, racking up four goals and six assists in that span. He's earned four power-play points over the last two contests as the Jets continue to take advantage of easier matchups. Vilardi is up to 13 goals, 14 helpers, 12 power-play points, 63 shots on net and a plus-1 rating over 33 appearances this season.

Jets' Adam Lowry: Nets game-winner Tuesday
Lowry scored the game-winning goal, added two shots and logged two hits in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Sharks.
This was Lowry's second straight game with a goal. He's scored six times over 13 contests dating back to Nov. 23 -- the third-line center continues to chip in with a little offense. For the season, he has nine goals, including a career-high four game-winners, while adding 11 assists, 48 shots on net, 66 hits, 25 blocked shots and a plus-15 rating over 33 appearances. He has now reached the 20-point mark in nine of his 11 NHL campaigns, and he's on pace for a career year in 2024-25.

Jets' Mark Scheifele: Another three-point effort in win
Scheifele scored a power-play goal on two shots and added two assists in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Sharks.
One of his assists also came with the man advantage. Scheifele has racked up five goals and six helpers over nine contests in December, flipping the script after he looked to be heading for regression in late November. The 31-year-old center is up to 17 tallies, 20 helpers, 14 power-play points, 74 shots on net, 30 hits, 29 blocked shots, 23 PIM and a plus-2 rating through 33 appearances.

Jets' Kyle Connor: Tallies twice in win
Connor scored two goals on nine shots in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Sharks.
Connor opened the scoring in the first period and tied the game at 3-3 with a power-play tally in the third. After a somewhat quiet stretch in late November, the winger is rolling again with six goals and five assists over his last seven contests. Connor is up to 19 tallies, 40 points, 115 shots on net and a plus-6 rating through 33 appearances.

Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: First to 20 wins
Hellebuyck stopped 32 of 35 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Sharks.
The Sharks showed some resilience against the Jets, but it wasn't enough. Hellebuyck earned his fifth win in six starts despite allowing three goals, and he's the first in the NHL to the 20-win mark this season. The 31-year-old improved to 20-5-1 with a 2.15 GAA and a .926 save percentage through 26 starts. Eric Comrie figures to get the start Wednesday in Anaheim, but Hellebuyck should be back between the pipes for a huge Central Division showdown at home versus the Wild on Saturday.
