Toninato was placed on waivers Sunday, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports.
Toninato, who hasn't played since Jan. 27, should get some playing time with AHL Manitoba if he doesn't get claimed by another team. He has one goal and five points in 15 NHL appearances this campaign. Toninato also has two goals and four helpers over nine minor-league outings during the 2023-24 campaign.

Jets' Dominic Toninato: Pockets helper in overtime loss
Rotowire
Toninato produced an assist, three hits and two blocked shots in Wednesday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Blackhawks.
Toninato finally got his first NHL game of the season and was able to match his point total from 2022-23 in quick fashion. The 29-year-old helped out on a Morgan Barron tally in the second period. Toninato provides a little grit in a fourth-line role, but his ice time is likely to be too little to help in fantasy. He may stick in the lineup until David Gustafsson (lower body) is ready to return.

Jets' Dominic Toninato: Finds twine Sunday
Rotowire
Toninato scored a goal in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Kraken.
Toninato was able to snap his 15-game goal drought before the end of the season. In that cold spell, he had just one assist. The 28-year-old was a regular in the Jets' lineup for the first time in his career, leading to personal-best numbers with seven goals, 14 points, 44 shots on net and 92 hits through 77 contests. He's still unlikely to serve as more than a bottom-six option going forward, and Toninato's scoring numbers were a bit fortunate thanks to four shorthanded points.

Jets' Dominic Toninato: Pair of points in win
Rotowire
Toninato scored a goal, dished a shorthanded assist and added two hits in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.

This ended a 13-game point drought for Toninato, who had been held off the scoresheet since Feb. 25. The 28-year-old has 12 points, 38 shots on net, 79 hits and 20 PIM in 61 contests. Four of his points this season have come shorthanded.

Jets' Dominic Toninato: Nabs shorthanded assist
Rotowire
Toninato recorded a shorthanded assist and four hits in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Avalanche.
In his last five games, Toninato has two goals and two assists, and all but one of those goals has come with the Jets shorthanded. The 27-year-old set up an Adam Lowry tally in Friday's loss. Toninato's up to 10 points, 67 hits, 34 shots on net and 18 PIM in 47 contests overall this season. He's likely earned himself an everyday role in the lineup, especially with his strong play lately, but his recent scoring pace probably won't last much longer.

Jets' Dominic Toninato: Tips in lone goal
Rotowire
Toninato scored a goal in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Flames.
Toninato redirected a Neal Pionk shot for the Jets' lone goal of the game. This gave Toninato a three-game point streak (two goals, one assist). The 27-year-old has nine points, 29 shots on net, 63 hits and an even plus-minus rating in 45 outings this season. While he's heating up on offense, his fourth-line role suggests this scoring burst won't last much longer.

Jets' Dominic Toninato: Earns another shorthanded point
Rotowire
Toninato delivered a shorthanded assist in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Oilers.
The fourth-line center is starting to turn heads. Toninato potted a crucial shorthanded goal in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Kraken, and in the latest contest he slid a perfect pass from a defensive zone circle to Adam Lowry for another Jets shorty. This type of production is not sustainable for a skater averaging only 8:15 of ice time, but Toninato should be viewed as a bargain for the Jets given his $750,000 AAV that runs through the 2022-23 season.
