Rotowire
DeMelo scored a goal and added three hits in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Blues in Game 5.

Jets' Dylan DeMelo: Sets up equalizer
Rotowire
DeMelo registered an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-4 shootout win over the Blackhawks.
DeMelo ended a seven-game point drought with the helper on Josh Morrissey's game-tying goal late in the third period. The 31-year-old DeMelo continues to play a shutdown role on the top pairing, which gives him plenty of ice time to chip in some depth offense as well. He's at 19 points, 73 shots on net, 136 hits, 110 blocked shots, 38 PIM and a plus-33 rating over 80 appearances this season, though that's well off the pace of his 31-point career year from 2023-24.

Jets' Dylan DeMelo: Scores in loss Monday
Rotowire
DeMelo scored a goal while adding four shots, a hit and three blocked shots in Monday's 5-2 loss to Utah.
DeMelo isn't known for being much of a fantasy contributor despite playing in the Jets' first defensive pairing. He has just 10 points through 48 games, and the fact that two of his three goals have come over his last three appearances suggests he's not going to score regularly going forward. He does bring a lot of physicality to the table, as he's racked up 82 hits and 59 blocked shots thus far.

Jets' Dylan DeMelo: Notches assist in win
Rotowire
DeMelo had an assist, two blocks and one hit in Saturday's 4-2 win over Montreal.
DeMelo recorded an assist for the second consecutive game after snapping a 14-game point drought in Thursday's overtime loss to Vegas. Saturday's helper was his fifth over 32 outings. That's well behind the pace set last season when the 31-year-old blueliner posted a career-high 31 points, but the Jets aren't looking for him to regularly land on the scoresheet. Winnipeg relies on DeMelo to be the stay-at-home partner on the top pair, allowing Josh Morrissey to push the offense. DeMelo, who finished second in the NHL with a plus-46 rating last season, currently stands at plus-9 in 2024-25.
