Jets' Dylan Samberg: Helpers in consecutive contests
Rotowire
Samberg notched an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-4 rating in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Coyotes.
Samberg has picked up helpers in each of the last two games, giving him 10 assists on the season. The 24-year-old continues to hold down a third-pairing role, though he's managed decent offense while staying solid in his own zone. The blueliner has a plus-14 rating with 60 blocked shots, 41 shots on goal, 33 PIM and 20 hits through 39 appearances, so he could have some value in fantasy formats that reward defensive work.

Jets' Dylan Samberg: Hands out helper
Rotowire
Samberg recorded an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Devils.
Samberg snapped a seven-game point drought with the helper. He's been in a third-pairing role for most of the season, and with the Jets dressing seven defensemen Tuesday, he saw just 13:33 of ice time. Samberg is up to three helpers, 20 blocked shots, 29 PIM, seven hits, 12 shots on net and a plus-3 rating through 15 appearances. He might top his career high of eight points from last year, but he's far from reliable enough to help in fantasy.

Rotowire
Samberg signed a two-year, $2.8 million contract with the Jets on Wednesday.
Samberg emerged as a solid third-pairing defenseman last season, racking up eight points, a plus-10 rating, 91 hits and 93 blocked shots in 63 games.

Jets' Dylan Samberg: Not sidelined with injury
Rotowire
Samberg was deemed a healthy scratch against Arizona on Tuesday by coach Rick Bowness and wasn't dealing with a leg injury, Scott Billeck of the Winnipeg Sun reports.
Considering Samberg is pointless in 21 straight contests and has been frequently left out of the lineup, it certainly doesn't come as a surprise that he was once again a healthy scratch Tuesday. If the blueliner does break into the lineup, it almost certainly will come at the expense of Kyle Capobianco.

The 23-year-old is up to five points, 19 shots on net, 36 hits, 43 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in 22 contests overall.

The goal counted and was Samberg's first, coming in his 32nd appearance. Samberg finished Sunday's come-from-behind win with a game-high five blocks and three shots on goal.

Samberg (lower body) practiced in a non-contact sweater Monday, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports, indicating he won't be ready to play against St. Louis.
Samberg was previously labeled as day-to-day but the fact that he isn't cleared for contact doesn't bode well for a short-term absence. Even when healthy, the Minnesota native is far from a lock for a spot in the lineup and figures to frequently find himself watching from the press box.
