  • Jets' Dylan Samberg: Goal, assist in comeback win

    Samberg scored a goal on five shots, added an assist, blocked two shots and went plus-3 in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Kraken.

    Samberg set up Cole Perfetti to get the Jets on the board late in the first period. In overtime, Perfetti returned the favor to allow Samberg to score the game-winning goal, the second game-winner of his career. The 26-year-old Samberg has four points over his last five outings and continues to look sharp defensively in a second-pairing role. He's at six goals, 11 assists, 73 shots on net, 88 blocked shots, 44 hits and a plus-32 rating over 46 appearances this season. He has yet to hit the 20-point mark in any season of his career, but he could do so in 2024-25 if he keeps his recent momentum up over the next few weeks.

  • Jets' Cole Perfetti: Pair of points in overtime win

    Perfetti scored a goal on four shots, dished an assist, added two PIM, logged three hits and went plus-2 in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Kraken.

    Perfetti got the Jets on the board late in the first period, and that shifted the momentum in their favor. In overtime, Perfetti was able to set up Dylan Samberg for the game-winning goal. This gave Perfetti five points over his last five games, a stretch that has seen him get back on track after going four contests without a point. The 23-year-old winger is at 14 goals, 42 points, 117 shots on net, 59 hits, 40 blocked shots and a plus-19 rating over 68 appearances in a second-line role.

  • Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Yields one goal while filling in

    Hellebuyck stopped five of six shots in relief of Eric Comrie in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Kraken.

    Hellebuyck played 10:10 during the first period while Comrie was being examined following the concussion spotter's call to take him out of the game. Hellebuyck gave up a goal in that stretch, but the Jets' comeback win got him off the hook, and Comrie ended up getting credit for the victory since he was able to finish out the contest. Hellebuyck remains at 39-9-3 with a 1.99 GAA and a .927 save percentage over 52 appearances this season. His next chance to go for win No. 40 is likely to be Tuesday in Vancouver.

  • Eric Comrie G | WPG

    Jets' Eric Comrie: Gets overtime win Sunday

    Comrie stopped 14 of 15 shots in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Kraken.

    Comrie didn't play the full game -- he was pulled by the concussion spotter during the first period, but he was ultimately cleared to return to the ice. Connor Hellebuyck allowed a goal on six shots while Comrie was getting checked out, and while the Jets struggled in the first period, they buckled down to get the win in overtime. Comrie has won four of his last five outings, allowing a total of seven goals in those games. He's now at an 8-8-1 record with a 2.39 GAA and a .914 save percentage through 17 appearances. The 29-year-old typically doesn't see enough of a workload to be on fantasy rosters, but he can be streamed pretty much any time he's tabbed to start. The Jets don't have any back-to-back sets over the next week, so it's unclear when his next game action will be.

  • Jake DeBrusk LW | VAN

    Canucks' Jake DeBrusk: Posts power-play helper

    DeBrusk notched a power-play assist, two shots on goal and a minus-2 rating in Sunday's 3-1 loss to Utah.

    DeBrusk's last four points, dating back to a Feb. 23 game in Utah, have all come on the power play. In that span (11 contests), the winger has added 25 shots on net, six hits, six blocked shots and a minus-8 rating. DeBrusk is usually a more physical player, so it's discouraging that he's taken a step back in that area recently. For the season, he's at 38 points (16 on the power play), 135 shots on net, 85 hits, 40 blocked shots and a minus-14 rating across 67 appearances.

  • Canucks' Elias Pettersson: Delivers power-play helper

    Pettersson produced a power-play assist, six hits, two blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in Sunday's 3-1 loss to Utah.

    Pettersson is on a four-game point streak (three goals, three assists), which is one game shy of matching his longest of the season. He's stepping up when it counts as the Canucks continue to battle for the second wild-card spot in the Western Conference, and he's rewarding patient fantasy managers along the way. The 26-year-old center is up to 15 goals, 27 helpers, 16 power-play points, 108 shots on net, 71 blocked shots, 69 hits and a minus-12 rating over 61 outings this season.

  • Quinn Hughes D | VAN

    Canucks' Quinn Hughes: Pots lone goal on power play

    Hughes scored a power-play goal on five shots and went minus-2 in Sunday's 3-1 loss to Utah.

    Hughes' tally opened the scoring at 2:37 of the second period, but it was all the Canucks could muster on 19 shots against Karel Vejmelka. With two goals, one assist, seven shots on net and four blocked shots over his last three outings, Hughes has not missed a beat since a four-game absence due to an undisclosed injury. The star defenseman is up to 16 goals, 63 points, 150 shots on net, 50 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating through 53 appearances.

  • Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Takes loss against Utah

    Lankinen surrendered two goals on 22 shots in Sunday's 3-1 loss to Utah. The third goal was an empty-netter.

    The Canucks had an opportunity to get some separation in the race for the second wild-card spot, but instead, they allowed Utah to tighten the pack. Lankinen didn't play poorly, but the scoring support just wasn't there in the second half of a back-to-back. This dropped Lankinen to 4-5-0 over nine games since the 4 Nations Face-Off, and he's now at 23-13-7 with a 2.54 GAA and a .904 save percentage through 43 outings this season. The Canucks' homestand ends with a challenging game Tuesday versus the Jets, which will likely be another turn in the crease for Lankinen.

  • Hockey Club's Michael Carcone: Assists in consecutive games

    Carcone logged an assist, two shots on goal and two PIM in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Canucks.

    Carcone has a helper in each of the last two games and three points over his last four outings. His playing time is a bit more secure for the rest of the regular season, as Liam O'Brien (lower body) is expected to miss four weeks. Carcone is up to 16 points through 47 appearances, with six of those points coming over his last 11 contests.

  • Hockey Club's Nick Bjugstad: Grabs helper in return to lineup

    Bjugstad notched an assist in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Canucks.

    Bjugstad was activated from injured reserve Friday but served as a healthy scratch against the Kraken that day. The 32-year-old checked in to replace Liam O'Brien (lower body) for Sunday's contest. O'Brien is likely to miss most, if not all, of the remainder of the regular season, so Bjugstad will just need to fend off Matias Maccelli for fourth-line minutes. The helper ended Bjugstad's seven-game point drought, and the veteran forward has 16 points, 96 shots on net, 89 hits and a minus-8 rating through 54 outings in 2024-25.
