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.
