Lemieux was issued a qualifying offer from the Rangers on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

After he was buried on the fourth line in Winnipeg, Lemieux caught a break after he was dealt to the Rangers in the Kevin Hayes deal at the trade deadline. He tallied 12 goals and 17 points in 63 games between the Jets and Rangers last campaign. The 23-year-old could be in line for a larger role as the roster begins to take shape heading into the 2019-20 season.

Lemieux finished the season with 12 goals, five assists and 108 PIM in 63 games between the Jets and Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Lemieux was buried on the fourth line in Winnipeg, but he quickly endeared himself to the Rangers' faithful after coming over in the Kevin Hayes deal at the deadline. On Broadway, the physical forward amassed six points and 44 PIM in 19 games. Lemieux will likely be penciled in on the third line next season with New York and can certainly help out fantasy owners in search of enforcers with a bit of touch.

Lemieux produced a Gordie Howe hat trick in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Oilers on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Lemieux got the fight out of the way first, dropping the mitts with Jujhar Khaira in the second period. Seven minutes later, he scored his 11th goal of the season, and then supplied a helper on Brett Howden's equalizer in the third period. Lemieux has two goals and three assists in seven contests since being traded from the Jets, clearly succeeding with almost five more minutes of ice time per game. While it's unlikely the fourth-liner continues this pace, he could be a valuable DFS option for Wednesday in Vancouver.

Lemieux assisted on both Rangers goals in Thursday's 3-2 shootout loss to Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

Both goals were scored by linemate Pavel Buchnevich. A change of scenery at the trade deadline has done wonders for Lemieux's value, as he has three points in five games with the Rangers after recording 11 points in 44 games with Winnipeg, where he was buried near the bottom of a significantly more talented forward corps. Remarkably, this performance matched Lemieux's previous career assist total, accrued over 57 games.

Lemieux will make his Rangers debut Wednesday night against the Lightning.

EDGE Analysis

The Jets castoff reportedly will operate on a line with highly-touted rookie Lias Andersson and burgeoning winger Pavel Buchnevich. While that projected line generally lacks experience, Lemieux is bound to see more than the 7:30 of average ice time that he saw in Winnipeg, and we wouldn't underestimate the second-round (31st overall) pick from 2014's fantasy prospects in an expanded role.

The Jets traded Lemieux -- along with a 2019 first-round draft pick and another conditional pick -- to the Rangers for Kevin Hayes on Monday, TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lemieux was caught in a bottom-six role for the Jets, but he showed flashes of offensive potential based on 10 goals and a pair of helpers between 53 games and 7:30 of average ice time. Getting dealt to a rebuilding team figures to do wonders for his development, and he'll be under club control as a restricted free agent this offseason in case the Blueshirts like what they see from 2014's second-round, 31st overall pick.

Lemieux (undisclosed) skated 7:31 and registered a hit and a shot in Sunday's 3-1 victory over the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

A blocked shot in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Senators threatened Lemieux's availability for Sunday, but he stayed in action. He has four points (three goals, one assist) in his last six games, but with Nikolaj Ehlers (upper body) close to returning, the battle for forward minutes will be tougher. Lemieux will need to keep scoring to stay in the lineup.

Lemieux (undisclosed) will be in the lineup for Sunday's game in Buffalo, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lemieux was a game-time call but he'll slot into his normal role in the Jets' bottom-six. The rookie winger has been a decent supplier of secondary scoring with nine goals and 11 points in 39 games this season.

Lemieux will be a game-time decision for Sunday's game versus the Sabres, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lemieux blocked a shot during Saturday's loss to the Senators and was laboring Sunday morning. He'll take pregame warmups where a decision will be made, and Nicolas Petan will enter the fold if he can't go. Lemieux has added some surprising offense lately with six goals over the last nine games despite averaging just 9:34 per outing.

Lemieux scored a pair of goals in Thursday's 5-1 win on the road in Nashville.

EDGE Analysis

The last time Lemieux found the scoresheet was back on Dec. 31, in a game that saw the 22-year-old find the net twice with a pair of markers. His two lamplighters on Thursday ended a seven-game pointless drought, as Lemieux logged a season-high 10:10 of ice time versus the Preds. He'll try to stay hot Saturday in Dallas, facing a Stars team that has not conceded a point to the youngster in two career contests.
