Lemieux scores two goals on two shots despite playing less than eight minutes in a 4-3 victory against the Oilers on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
The 22-year-old had two goals in his first 31 NHL games, so he just doubled that total. Lemieux picked up an assist a couple games ago as well, so he has three points in the last three games. He posted one point in the first 20 games this season. Owners in deeper leagues might want to take a flier on Lemieux just in case he actually has figured some things out over the past week.

Lemieux has failed to write his name on the scoresheet in nine consecutive games.
EDGE Analysis
Considering Lemieux is averaging a mere 6:15 of ice time this season, it makes sense he has just one point to show for it. The Denver native could find himself down in the minors before long, if only to get him some more ice time. Once Andrew Copp (undisclosed) returns, the Jets will likely be forced to choose between Lemieux and Mason Appleton for a spot on the 23-man roster.

Lemieux has served his two-game suspension and could return to the lineup against Washington on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
There is certainly no guarantee that Lemieux will slot back into the Jets' fourth line, as Nicolas Petan is unlikely to give up his spot easily. Prior to his ban, the 22-year-old Lemieux was averaging a meager 5:32 of ice time in his nine outings and was still looking for his first point of the 2018-19 campaign.

Lemieux was suspended for two games for an illegal check to the head of Panthers' Vincent Trocheck, per the NHL Department of Player Safety.
EDGE Analysis
Lemieux was cited for making the head the main point of contact in addition to failing to avoid the hit. The winger is still looking for his first point of the 2018-19 campaign and will have to wait until Nov. 14 versus Washington when he will be eligible to return to the lineup. In the meantime, Jack Roslovic figures to slot into a fourth-line role in Lemieux's absence.

Lemieux has a hearing scheduled with the NHL's Department of Player Safety for Friday's illegal check to the head of Florida's Vincent Trocheck.
EDGE Analysis
Lemieux received a match penalty for the hit, so it comes as no surprise that additional punishment in the form of a possible suspension is on the table. With no points in nine games this season, the 22-year-old forward likely won't be missed much even if he's forced to sit for a few games.

Lemieux has served as a healthy scratch for each of the Jets' first two games.
EDGE Analysis
The emergence of Kristian Vesalainen has pushed Lemieux into the press box for the time being. While the Denver native will likely log as many games in the press box as he does on the bench this season, he should get a look at some point -- especially if any forwards pick up an injury.

Lemieux was reassigned to AHL Manitoba on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Lemieux has played in just two of Winnipeg's previous 14 outings, so it shouldn't come as a surprise to see him rejoining the Moose -- who are in action against AHL Grand Rapids on Thursday. The winger will likely suit up in that contest before returning to the Jets' ahead of Friday's tilt versus Colorado.

Lemieux was back at practice Tuesday after dealing with a lower-body malady, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lemieux will likely be a healthy scratch more often than not, so his absence from practice likely flew under the radar of most fantasy owners. If the Denver native doesn't get on the ice soon, the Jets may ship him back to the minors in order to further hsi development and get him some game action.

Lemieux was recalled from AHL Manitoba on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
With Adam Lowry (upper body) being added to injured reserve Monday, Lemieux and Nic Petan were recalled to provide cover for the Jets. That said, it's unclear whether head coach Paul Maurice plans to utilize Lemieux in Tuesday's contest with Arizona, though if he does, it'll likely be in a fourth-line role. While Lemieux has been a scoring force in the minors this season -- 12 goals and 28 points in 30 outings -- in eight games with Winnipeg, Lemieux has just a single goal and 19 penalty minutes.

Lemieux was sent down to AHL Manitoba on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
With the Jets off for the NHL All-Star Break, Lemieux will suit up for the Moose in order to keep playing. Whether the winger gets called back up ahead of Tuesday's clash with Tampa Bay will likely depend on the health of Shawn Matthias (upper body) and Adam Lowry (upper body) -- who are both still on injured reserve.
