Vejmelka allowed two goals on 22 shots in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Devils.

Vejmelka's three-game winning streak came to an end, though this wasn't a bad performance for the 29-year-old netminder. He allowed goals to Connor Brown and Stefan Noesen (on the power play). Vejmelka is now 15-10-2 with a 2.69 GAA and an .895 save percentage through 28 outings overall. He continues to handle a starting role for the Mammoth, and he'll probably get the nod versus the reeling Jets on Sunday.

Hischier logged two assists, including one on the power play, and five shots on goal in Friday's 2-1 win over the Mammoth.

Hischier entered this contest on a five-game point drought before setting up tallies by Stefan Noesen and Connor Brown. The 26-year-old Hischier won't lose ice time even when his offense is cold, as his defensive play is too valuable to the Devils. The center is up to 28 points, 86 shots on net, 34 blocked shots, 27 hits, 14 PIM and a minus-1 rating over 35 contests.

Noesen scored a power-play goal on three shots and blocked two shots in Friday's 2-1 win over the Mammoth.

Noesen has earned three points and 11 shots on net over his last five contests. The Devils' numerous injuries have opened the door for the 32-year-old forward to see steady middle-six usage, and he's taking advantage of it. Noesen is still at a paltry three goals, six points, 40 shots, 29 hits, 29 PIM and a minus-8 rating through 29 appearances. His fantasy appeal is limited to deeper formats, though his drops in power-play production and physicality have likely kept him off the radar in most leagues.

Brown scored a goal and blocked two shots in Friday's 2-1 win over the Mammoth.

Brown scored for the third time in his last four games, tying this contest at 1-1 in the second period. The 31-year-old winger led all Devils with 22:16 of ice time, a season-high mark for him. Brown's trust with head coach Sheldon Keefe is on the rise, though the winger's offense will probably dip again eventually. He's at nine goals, 15 points, 38 shots on net, 22 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 28 appearances this season.

Markstrom stopped 32 of 33 shots in Friday's 2-1 win over the Mammoth.

Markstrom picked up just his second win in six outings this month with one of his best performances of the season. He's up to 9-7-1 with a 3.40 GAA and an .881 save percentage through 18 appearances. He's been largely outplayed by Jake Allen (2.49 GAA, .912 save percentage), but both goalies have 17 starts to their name so far. The Devils' next game is Sunday at home versus the Sabres.

Nyquist posted a power-play assist in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Avalanche.

Nyquist had gone 10 games without a point, and he was scratched for four contests in that span. The 36-year-old winger's declining offense has been a poor fit for the Jets this year, and he may not be out of the woods for scratches if he can't find more consistency. He's logged just seven helpers with 33 shots on net, 16 hits and a minus-1 rating over 25 outings.

Barron scored a shorthanded goal on two shots in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Avalanche.

Barron has three goals and an assist over his last five games. The Jets have given him a middle-six role lately since he's one of the few forwards on the roster making a positive impact. His fantasy usefulness remains limited since he doesn't have a power-play job. Barron is up to six goals (two shorthanded), 11 points, 43 shots on net, 60 hits, 18 blocked shots, 18 PIM and a plus-6 rating over 28 appearances this season.

Scheifele scored a power-play goal on two shots and added two PIM in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Avalanche.

Scheifele ended a four-game goal drought with his third-period tally. It was his first power-play contribution since Nov. 13 versus the Kraken. The center has remained fairly steady on offense, but he's one of the few Jets who that applies to recently. Scheifele is up to 17 goals, 41 points (seven on the power play), 71 shots on net, 22 PIM and a plus-9 rating across 34 appearances.

Hellebuyck stopped 23 of 26 shots in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Avalanche.

A pair of first-period goals and a Parker Kelly tally in the third sent Hellebuyck to a third straight loss (0-2-1). The 32-year-old netminder is doing well to keep the defeats close, but the Jets continue to struggle with scoring enough to support him. Hellebuyck is down to 9-8-1 with a 2.40 GAA and a .916 save percentage over 18 starts. The Jets' next game is Sunday in Utah. Fantasy managers who are chasing wins may want to explore trading Hellebuyck for a goalie on a more stable team, though he's unlikely to damage a roster's ratio stats.

Gaunce (personal) was placed on the non-roster list Friday, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.

Gaunce and his wife are expecting a baby, and the Blue Jackets made this move to create a roster spot after acquiring Mason Marchment from the Kraken. It's unclear if Gaunce will have a chance to play regularly once he returns from his personal leave -- he may ultimately end up on waivers since he's played 12 games during his current stint with the big club, though he wouldn't be eligible for that to happen until after the NHL's holiday roster freeze expires Dec. 28.
