Mikheyev logged two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Jets.

Mikheyev set up Anton Frondell in the first period and Tyler Bertuzzi in the third. With the first helper, Mikheyev logged the 100th assist of his career, coming in his 420th game. The winger is knocking on the door of another couple of milestones, sitting five goals shy of 100 and four points shy of 200 in his career. He has three goals and two assists over his last eight outings to get up to 31 points, 112 shots on net, 28 hits and a minus-3 rating through 70 appearances this season. That puts him three points back of matching his total from 80 games a year ago.

Frondell scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Jets.

Frondell's first NHL goal opened the scoring at 4:42 of the first period. The 18-year-old has a goal, four helpers, 13 shots on net and a minus-3 rating through five appearances since coming over from the SHL. Frondell shouldn't be expected to be a point-per-game player over a longer stretch, but he can do enough from a top-six role to help fantasy managers looking for a boost late in the season.

Bertuzzi scored twice on three shots, added four hits and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Jets.

Bertuzzi tallied in the second and third periods. The first goal got him to 30 for just the second time in his career, and he established the new career high with the tying tally at 9:46 of the third period. The winger did a fine job in March with five goals and 11 points over 16 contests. He's up to 55 points, 154 shots on net, 52 hits, 38 PIM and a minus-18 rating through 72 appearances this season. He'd need seven more points to match his career high of 62 set in the 2021-22 campaign.

Knight stopped 20 of 24 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Jets.

Knight is 0-2-2 with 16 goals allowed on 138 shots in his last four outings. The Blackhawks' inexperienced defense and Knight's career-high 50 games played are likely factors in his declining performance late in the season. The 24-year-old netminder is now at an 18-21-11 record with a 2.74 GAA and a .906 save percentage on the year. The Blackhawks set off for a three-game road trip next, which begins Thursday in Edmonton. That'll be a matchup fantasy managers want to avoid, as the Oilers have tagged Knight for six goals on 66 shots in their previous two meetings this season.

Zhilkin notched an assist and two hits in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blackhawks.

This was Zhilkin's first NHL point, coming in his sixth appearance. The 22-year-old has added four shots on net, five hits, four blocked shots and a plus-3 rating while playing in a fourth-line role. Zhilkin looks likely to stay in the lineup until one of Vladislav Namestnikov (lower body) or Morgan Barron (concussion) is healthy enough to play.

Scheifele logged three assists in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blackhawks.

Scheifele has three goals and six assists during his four-game point streak. One of his helpers Tuesday came on the power play, which was his first point with the man advantage since March 7 versus the Canucks. That didn't slow him down this month -- he earned 22 points over 16 contests in March. He's crossed the 90-point mark for the first time in his career with 34 goals, 58 assists, 18 power-play points, 160 shots on net, 42 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 74 appearances. Scheifele is tied for seventh in the NHL in points, alongside Colorado's Martin Necas and Montreal's Nick Suzuki.

Rosen scored a goal in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blackhawks.

Rosen has been under 10 minutes of ice time in four straight games. He snapped a nine-game slump with his goal Tuesday, which likely explains why he's on the fourth line while the Jets lean on their veterans in a late push for a playoff spot. Rosen has earned five goals, four helpers, 26 shots on net, 13 hits, 18 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 29 NHL appearances between the Jets and the Sabres this season.

Perfetti scored a power-play goal on four shots and added two PIM in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blackhawks.

Perfetti's point streak is up to five games (three goals, two assists). He's earned two power-play points over his last eight outings as well, as he continues to fill a spot on the first unit. The 24-year-old winger is up to 12 goals, 31 points, 126 shots on net, 49 hits, 29 blocked shots, 20 PIM and a minus-2 rating over 60 appearances. Perfetti finished March with 10 points in 16 contests for his highest-scoring month of the campaign.

Morrissey scored a goal, added an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blackhawks.

Morrissey got the Jets on the board early in the second period and helped out on Kyle Connor's game-winning tally in overtime. The 31-year-old Morrissey has a goal and five assists during his five-game point streak. The defenseman produced 10 points over 13 outings in March and is up to 13 goals, 39 helpers, 127 shots on net, 107 blocked shots and a plus-12 rating over 69 appearances this season.

Connor scored a goal on four shots and added an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blackhawks.

Connor's point streak is up to five games (three goals, four assists). He set up Josh Morrissey on the Jets' first goal, and Morrissey assisted when Connor netted the game-winner 33 seconds into overtime. For the season, Connor is up to 34 goals, 85 points, 241 shots on net and a plus-2 rating over 74 appearances. He has a good chance at another 90-point campaign -- which would be his third in five years -- though he'd need to tap into his finishing touch some more to get back to the 40-goal mark.
