Jets' Nikolaj Ehlers: Earns assist in return
Ehlers produced a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Ducks.
Ehlers logged 16:51 of ice time in this contest, his first since sustaining a lower-body injury Nov. 29 against Vegas. He played alongside Vladislav Namestnikov and Cole Perfetti on the second line, bumping Nikita Chibrikov to the press box as a healthy scratch. Ehlers should be active for most fantasy managers -- he's playing at better than a point-per-game pace with nine goals and 17 helpers over 25 appearances. He'll also regularly feature on the power play.

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.

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.
