Jets' Brenden Dillon: Generates assist Tuesday
Dillon logged an assist and three hits in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche in Game 2.
Dillon already has three helpers over two playoff games -- he logged just one assist across his last nine regular-season outings. The 33-year-old defenseman is better known for his physical and defensive play than his offense, though he put up 20 points, 241 hits and 111 blocked shots in 77 contests during the regular season. He should continue to see time on the Jets' second pairing.

Jets' Neal Pionk: Logs helper in loss
Pionk notched an assist, two shots on goal, three blocked shots and four hits in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche in Game 2.
Pionk helped out on a David Gustafsson tally in the first period. After posting 33 points for the second regular season in a row, Pionk should be able to offer solid offense and plenty of physical play from his second-pairing role in the playoffs. The 28-year-old blueliner had 220 hits, 118 blocked shots, 63 PIM and 146 shots on net over 82 regular-season outings.

Jets' Gabriel Vilardi: Adds helper in loss
Vilardi notched an assist, two shots on goal, two PIM and a minus-2 rating in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche in Game 2.
Vilardi has earned three helpers through two playoff contests. He's also recorded four shots on net while seeing top-line minutes. His scoring upside is limited compared to his linemates Mark Scheifele and Kyle Connor, but Vilardi could have some extra fantasy appeal if he stays in a first-line role throughout the playoffs.

Jets' Kyle Connor: Records helper
Connor provided an assist, fired two shots on goal and added four PIM in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche in Game 2.
Connor helped out on a Mark Scheifele tally in the second period. The assist gave Connor at least a point in each of his last 10 games -- he's earned six goals and 10 helpers in that span. The winger has four points, seven shots on net and a plus-1 rating over two playoff outings so far and looks poised to remain a fixture on the top line.

Jets' David Gustafsson: Opens scoring in loss
Gustafsson scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche in Game 2.
Gustafsson tallied at 3:15 of the first period. He's picked up two goals and two assists over his last five contests, but his chances of sustaining that kind of scoring pace will be low as long as he's in a fourth-line role. The 24-year-old had a career-high seven points in 39 regular-season appearances this year.

Jets' Mark Scheifele: Nets goal in Game 2 loss
Scheifele scored a goal on three shots, doled out five hits and went minus-2 in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche in Game 2.
Scheifele has four points, four shots on net and seven hits over two playoff games so far. The 31-year-old's tally gave the Jets a 2-1 lead in the second period, but Alexandar Georgiev was able to shut the door after that. Scheifele's performance will be key for the Jets in the postseason, and he's living up to expectations early on.

Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Loses Game 2
Hellebuyck allowed four goals on 31 shots in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche in Game 2.
Hellebuyck's six-game winning streak came to an end Tuesday, resulting in the Jets' first-round playoff series being tied at 1-1 with Games 3 and 4 ahead in Denver on Friday and Sunday, respectively. The 30-year-old has allowed 10 goals on 77 shots so far against the Avalanche, so he'll need to tighten things up on the road to keep the Jets competitive.

Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Set to start Tuesday
Hellebucyk is slated to be between the home pipes for Game 2 against the Avalanche on Tuesday, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.
Hellebuyck is riding a six-game winning streak, which includes a crucial victory in the series opener despite giving up six goals on 46 shots (.870 save percentage). Considering the 30-year-old goalie is the heavy favorite to take home the Vezina Trophy as the league's top netminder, there is little chance of him being dropped from the starting role as long as the Jets are in the playoffs.

Jets' Morgan Barron: At least a week away
Barron (lower body) has yet to resume skating and is still at least a week away from returning to game action, Murat Ates of The Athletic reports.
Barron will miss the first four games of Winnipeg's first-round matchup with the Avalanche at a minimum, and he might need the Jets to advance to the second round in order to play again in 2023-24. He picked up 11 goals, 18 points and 122 hits in 80 contests during the regular season.

Jets' Alex Iafallo: Hands out helper
Iafallo earned an assist and blocked three shots in Sunday's 7-6 win over the Avalanche in Game 1.
Iafallo had three points over the final eight games of the regular season. The winger has been limited to bottom-six minutes for a large portion of the campaign, but he has enough skill to join the top six if there's an injury to a winger. Iafallo logged 27 points over 82 contests, his lowest total since his rookie campaign in 2017-18.

Jets' Mason Appleton: Contributes helper in win
Appleton logged an assist, four hits and two PIM in Sunday's 7-6 win over the Avalanche in Game 1.
Appleton has gone 11 games without a goal, but he has four helpers over his last five contests. The 28-year-old forward had a hand in Adam Lowry's second tally in Game 1. 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' Brenden Dillon: Earns pair of helpers
Dillon notched two assists, three hits, two blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Sunday's 7-6 win over the Avalanche in Game 1.
Dillon did his job well defensively and still had enough in the tank to help out on goals by Josh Morrissey and Adam Lowry. This was Dillon's first multi-point effort since Nov. 18. The veteran defenseman had 20 points, 241 hits, 111 blocked shots and 92 PIM over 77 regular-season appearances, offering some toughness in a top-four role.

Jets' Nino Niederreiter: Collects two helpers
Niederreiter recorded two assists in Sunday's 7-6 win over the Avalanche in Game 1.
Niederreiter has three helpers over his last three games since returning from a leg laceration. The 31-year-old winger endured a 14-game point drought late in the season, and his chances of consistently producing offense from a third-line role are low. He had 34 points, 170 shots on net, 115 hits and a plus-12 rating over 77 appearances in the regular season, his lowest point total in a full-length campaign since 2017-18.

Jets' Gabriel Vilardi: Produces two assists
Vilardi registered two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 7-6 win over the Avalanche in Game 1.
Vilardi had six goals over the last seven games of the campaign, but his last assist was Feb. 25, two games before he was held out with an enlarged spleen. The 24-year-old has held down a top-line role since his return, and he set up goals by linemates Mark Scheifele and Kyle Connor in this contest. It's still early in the postseason, but Vilardi could achieve breakout status if he stays in that place in the lineup.

Jets' Vladislav Namestnikov: Nets goal in Game 1 win
Namestnikov scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Sunday's 7-6 win over the Avalanche in Game 1.
Namestnikov was rested for the Jets' regular-season finale, an oddity given his placement on the fourth line for the playoff opener. Nonetheless, he was able to contribute, burying a shot from the slot after the Avalanche got sloppy in their own zone. Namestnikov was versatile for the Jets this season while earning 37 points over 78 appearances, his most in a campaign since he had 48 in 2017-18. If injuries arise among the Jets' top-six forwards, Namestnikov could be one of the players to step up into a larger role.

Jets' Josh Morrissey: One of each Sunday
Morrissey scored a goal on two shots, dished a power-play assist, added two PIM and blocked five shots in Sunday's 7-6 win over the Avalanche in Game 1.
Morrissey rested for the Jets' regular-season finale, but he was as strong as ever before that with two goals and nine helpers over his last eight outings. The momentum carried over into the playoffs as he earned his third straight multi-point effort. Morrissey is likely to see massive minutes on the top pairing and first power-play unit, and his offense will make him a solid choice for fantasy playoff competitions.

Jets' Mark Scheifele: Racks up three points Sunday
Scheifele scored a goal, dished two assists, went plus-2 and added two hits in Sunday's 7-6 win over the Avalanche in Game 1.
Scheifele's goal tied the game at 3-3 in the first period, and he assisted on both of Kyle Connor's tallies in the third. Over his last 10 regular-season appearances, Scheifele had nine points, giving him 72 points in 74 outings overall. The 31-year-old continues to be a significant scoring threat in a top-line role and on the Jets' first power-play unit.
