Kaskimaki posted three assists in AHL Springfield's 6-3 win over Utica on Saturday.

Kaskimaki reached the 30-point mark in his 50th game of the season with this performance. He's at 13 goals, 17 helpers and 117 shots on net in his second AHL campaign. He has been limited to five points over his last eight contests.

Necas scored a goal on four shots in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Jets.

Necas broke up Connor Hellebuyck's shutout bid with 1:16 left in the third period. This was Necas' third straight game with a goal, and he's scored in eight of 10 contests since the Olympics. The star forward reached the 80-point mark as well, sitting at 31 goals, 49 assists, 160 shots on net, 68 hits, 30 PIM and a plus-44 rating over 62 appearances. He's four points away from setting a new career high over last year's 83 points (27 goals, 56 assists) in 79 regular-season outings.

Perfetti scored an empty-net goal on three shots in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Avalanche.

Martin Necas got the Avalanche on the board with 1:16 left in the third period, but Perfetti's empty-netter gave the Jets some breathing room. The 24-year-old Perfetti has two goals and two assists over seven outings in March. He's up to nine goals, 25 points, 105 shots on net, 38 hits and a minus-4 rating over 51 appearances. His offense has taken a significant step back this year, but it's encouraging that he remains in a prominent spot in the lineup despite his struggles.

Scheifele picked up two assists in Saturday's 3-1 win over Colorado.

Both helpers came in the second period on goals by Kyle Connor and Alex Iafallo, as the Jets broke open a scoreless tie. Scheifele has four multi-point performances in his last six games, and with his first assist Saturday, he reached 80 points on the season for the fourth time in his career.
