Jets' Neal Pionk: Classified as day-to-day
Head coach Scott Arniel conveyed Sunday that Pionk (lower body) is "day-to-day for now," according to Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press.
Pionk is set to be evaluated by the team's medical staff Monday. Should he miss any time, Luke Schenn and Colin Miller will fill bottom-four roles on the right side. The Jets will kick off a five-game road trip Wednesday against the Capitals.

Jets' Neal Pionk: Suffers injury Sunday
Pionk (lower body) won't return to Sunday's game against Minnesota.
Pionk logged only 2:05 of ice time before exiting Sunday's matchup. He entered the contest with one goal, four assists, 43 shots on net, 36 blocked shots and 41 hits in 20 appearances. If Pionk misses time, Luke Schenn will probably return to the lineup.

Jets' Neal Pionk: First goal of season
Pionk scored a power-play goal in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
Pionk found the back of the net for the first time this season with a slap shot late in the second frame. The 30-year-old veteran has five points this season, so he's not much of an asset from a fantasy perspective. That said, he could provide some upside in leagues that reward physical stats, as he's averaging 1.8 hits and 1.8 blocked shots per game.

Jets' Neal Pionk: Picks up two assists
Pionk dished out two assists and logged nearly 25 minutes of ice time in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over Minnesota.
Pionk snapped a three-game scoring drought with a first-period assist Tuesday in Minnesota. It's been a sluggish start to the season, as he's managed just two assists through 10 games. While he's not known as a premier offensive blueliner, Pionk has surpassed the 30-point mark in six straight regular seasons, suggesting his production should rebound soon. Given his steady minutes and role quarterbacking Winnipeg's second power-play unit, he has a good chance of building on this performance in Thursday's home matchup against Chicago.

Jets' Neal Pionk: Adds power-play assist Monday
Pionk recorded a power-play assist and three blocked shots in Monday's 2-1 win over the Flames.
Pionk got on the scoresheet for the first time this season when he set up a Jonathan Toews goal in the third. The 30-year-old Pionk has a helper, 10 shots on net, four hits, 12 blocked shots, six PIM and a plus-3 rating through six contests. It's a little concerning that he's not piling up hits as aggressively as in previous seasons, as it's Pionk's physicality and all-around production that provide the bulk of his fantasy value.

Jets' Neal Pionk: Generates two helpers in win
Pionk logged two assists (one on the power play), six hits and two blocked shots in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Stars in Game 5.
Pionk got on the scoresheet for the first time in the second round in this contest. He helped out on Mark Scheifele's opening tally in the second period and Vladislav Namestnikov's power-play goal in the third. Pionk is up to seven points, 23 shots on net, 42 hits, 16 blocked shots, 14 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 12 playoff contests. He continues to see top-four minutes and will play a big role defensively if the Jets are able to pull off a comeback against the Stars, who lead the series 3-2 after Game 5.

Jets' Neal Pionk: Dishes three assists in Game 7
Pionk logged three assists, three shots on net, six hits, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 4-3 double-overtime win over the Blues in Game 7.
Pionk was forced into heavy usage after Josh Morrissey (upper body) left the game in the first period. The 29-year-old Pionk stepped up with 46:15 of ice time, and he was productive in those minutes. His biggest helper was on Adam Lowry's goal at 16:10 of the second overtime frame. Pionk had five points, 14 shots on net, 21 hits, 10 blocks, 14 PIM and a plus-4 rating over seven contests in the first round. If Morrissey misses time, Pionk will take over on the top power-play unit while also seeing a hearty bump in overall usage.

Jets' Neal Pionk: Contributes helper in win
Pionk logged an assist, three hits, three blocked shots and a plus-4 rating in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Blues in Game 5.
Pionk helped out on a Nino Niederreiter tally in the first period. Pionk is up to two points, 10 shots on net, 13 hits, five blocked shots, a plus-4 rating and 14 PIM across five playoff contests. The 29-year-old blueliner remains in a second-pairing role, which is a spot that should allow him to be a decent all-around contributor for fantasy managers.

Jets' Neal Pionk: Nets power-play goal in loss
Pionk scored a power-play goal on three shots, doled out five hits, added two PIM and went minus-2 in Thursday's 7-2 loss to the Blues in Game 3.
Pionk got a goal in the third period, but the Blues were already firmly in control of the game. This was Pionk's second goal in the last four contests. The defenseman produced 39 points, including 12 on the power play, as well as 123 shots on net, 114 hits, 101 blocked shots and a plus-21 rating over 69 regular-season appearances.

Jets' Neal Pionk: Inks six-year extension

Jets' Neal Pionk: Slated to play Wednesday
Pionk (rest) is expected to draw back into the lineup Wednesday versus Anaheim.
Pionk was out of the lineup for Sunday's 4-1 loss to Edmonton so that he could get a breather before the playoffs. He has nine goals, 38 points, 114 hits and 99 blocks over 68 outings in 2024-25. Pionk is projected to play alongside Dylan Samberg against the Ducks.

Jets' Neal Pionk: Garners power-play helper
Pionk notched a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 5-4 shootout win over the Blackhawks.
This was Pionk's second game back after missing 12 contests due to a lower-body injury. The defenseman has jumped right back into a top-four role, adding five shots on net, five hits and two blocked shots over his two games since returning. Overall, he has 38 points, 121 shots on net, 114 hits, 99 blocked shots and a plus-20 rating over 68 appearances, though it looks like the time lost will cost him a chance at reaching the 40-point mark for the second time in his career.

Jets' Neal Pionk: Given maintenance day
Pionk (rest) will not be in the lineup Sunday against the Oilers, according to Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press.
Pionk has played in two games since missing 12 contests due to a lower-body injury, but he'll get the day off Sunday as the Jets have already clinched the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference. Winnipeg's last game of the regular season is against the Ducks on Wednesday.

Jets' Neal Pionk: Expected to play Thursday
Pionk (lower body) is projected to be in the lineup Thursday versus the Stars, Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press reports.
Pionk was deemed close to playing as of Monday, so it tracks that he's ready to end a 12-game absence. He'll slot back in on the second pairing and should also be part of the second power-play unit.

Jets' Neal Pionk: Deemed game-time call for Thursday
Pionk (lower body) will be a game-time decision for Thursday's matchup against Dallas, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.
Head coach Scott Arniel said Monday that Pionk is "really close" to returning to game action, and the 29-year-old worked on the second defensive pairing during Wednesday's practice session while also seeing some time with the second power-play unit. The Jets want to see how Pionk fares ahead of Thursday's puck drop, but he seems to be trending in the right direction.

Jets' Neal Pionk: Close to returning
Head coach Scott Arniel said Monday that Pionk (lower body) is "really close" to returning, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.
Arniel's comments indicate that Pionk will miss Monday's game against the Blues, but the blueliner is working on his conditioning and is closing in on his return to game action. It wouldn't be surprising to see Pionk return to the ice over the final week of the regular season, which would help prepare him for a postseason run.

Jets' Neal Pionk: Labeled week-to-week
Pionk is considered week-to-week due to a lower-body injury, John Lu of TSN reports Friday.
Pionk has managed just one point in his last 11 games while generating 24 shots, 21 hits and 12 blocks while averaging 21:58 of ice time. With Pionk on the shelf, Colin Miller figures to rejoin the lineup while Luke Schenn sees a significant uptick in ice time.

Jets' Neal Pionk: Questionable for Friday
Pionk (undisclosed) could be a game-time decision Friday versus Dallas, per Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site.
Pionk has missed practice the last two days. He has nine goals, 28 assists, a plus-21 rating, 109 hits and 97 blocked shots across 66 games this season. Should Pionk be unavailable, Colin Miller is likely to take his place in the lineup.

Jets' Neal Pionk: Nets lone goal in loss
Pionk scored a goal on three shots, added three hits and logged two PIM in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Predators.
Pionk's goal at 11:05 of the first period tied the game at 1-1 briefly, but the Predators answered on Thomas Novak's power-play tally just over four minutes later. Over seven outings in February, Pionk has two goals and two assists. The 29-year-old blueliner has nine goals this season, one shy of his career high from 2022-23, and he's already up to 37 points, 107 shots on net, 100 hits, 91 blocked shots, 44 PIM and a plus-19 rating through 60 appearances. With a quarter of the campaign to go, he has a good chance of matching his career-best 45 points from the 2019-20 campaign.

Jets' Neal Pionk: Bends twine Tuesday
Pionk scored a power-play goal on two shots in Tuesday's 3-0 victory over Carolina.
Pionk extended his point streak to three games with Tuesday's tally, giving him eight goals on the year, including a career-high four with the man advantage. The 29-year-old Nebraska native should be capable of reaching the 10-goal threshold for just the second time in his eight-year NHL career, making him a decent depth option for fantasy managers -- especially in banger leagues that value hits.
