DeMelo logged an assist and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

DeMelo helped out on Mark Scheifele's third-period tally. The 32-year-old DeMelo has three helpers over his last six contests, and he's posted a plus-4 rating in that span as well. The defenseman is at a decent 10 points with 15 shots on net, 27 hits, 39 blocked shots, 18 PIM and a plus-8 rating through 22 outings. That level of production should give him some appeal in deeper fantasy formats, though he won't always be steady on offense.

DeMelo logged two assists and two shots on goal in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

DeMelo earned his second multi-point effort of the season by setting up goals by Gabriel Vilardi and Josh Morrissey. The 32-year-old DeMelo continues to play on the top pairing as a defensive presence to balance Morrissey's more offense-inclined style. DeMelo is off to a positive start through October, racking up a goal, six helpers, nine shots on net, 10 hits, 24 blocked shots, eight PIM and a plus-7 rating through 11 outings.

Demelo scored a goal and added four blocked shots in Sunday's loss to Utah.

EDGE Analysis

Demelo's early first-period slapper found space over Vitek Vanecek and marked his first tally of the season. He continued to handle a heavy workload on the Winnipeg blue line (22:39 TOI) and contributed four blocked shots, reinforcing his peripheral fantasy appeal. Still, with minimal offensive upside, his overall fantasy value remains limited.

DeMelo registered two assists and two PIM in Thursday's 5-4 loss to the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

DeMelo is off to a positive start in 2025-26, but offense isn't his main source of production. He's a shutdown blueliner who opens up space for Josh Morrissey to make an impact on the top pairing. Look for DeMelo to settle in the 20-30 point range over a full season while also offering 100-plus hits and blocked shots and a strong plus-minus rating -- he hasn't finished with a negative plus-minus since 2018-19.

DeMelo logged two assists, two hits, two PIM and a plus-3 rating in Friday's 4-0 win over the Stars in Game 2.

EDGE Analysis

DeMelo earned his first multi-point effort since Jan. 24 versus Utah. The 32-year-old blueliner helped out on tallies by Adam Lowry and Nikolaj Ehlers. DeMelo continues to operate in a top-four role as a shutdown defenseman. He's earned a goal, three assists, 10 shots on net, 16 hits, 10 blocked shots, eight PIM and an even plus-minus rating over eight playoff outings.

DeMelo scored a goal and added three hits in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Blues in Game 5.

EDGE Analysis

DeMelo put the Jets ahead 3-2 at 11:05 of the second period, and the third time was the charm for them to hold the lead. The veteran defenseman has two points, five shots on net, eight hits, six blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over four playoff appearances. He continues to skate alongside Josh Morrissey on the top pairing, and while DeMelo won't generate a lot of offense, he gets plenty of ice time in a shutdown role.

DeMelo (illness) will play Sunday in Game 4 against the Blues, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

DeMelo will return to the Jets' blue line after an illness kept him sidelined in Game 3. The 31-year-old DeMelo has one assist in the playoffs after logging 19 points (three goals, 16 assists) in 82 regular-season contests.

DeMelo was unavailable for Thursday's Game 3 versus the Blues due to an illness, Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

DeMelo took a maintenance day Wednesday, which suggests he's been under the weather for at least a couple of days. With two full days before Game 4, DeMelo should have a decent chance of returning for Sunday's contest.

DeMelo (undisclosed) is not in the lineup for Thursday's Game 3 versus the Blues, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Colin Miller is expected to take DeMelo's place in the lineup. DeMelo also missed Wednesday's practice for what was originally termed maintenance, but it appears whatever he is dealing with is a little more serious. His next chance to play is Sunday's Game 4 in St. Louis.

DeMelo registered an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-4 shootout win over the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

DeMelo ended a seven-game point drought with the helper on Josh Morrissey's game-tying goal late in the third period. The 31-year-old DeMelo continues to play a shutdown role on the top pairing, which gives him plenty of ice time to chip in some depth offense as well. He's at 19 points, 73 shots on net, 136 hits, 110 blocked shots, 38 PIM and a plus-33 rating over 80 appearances this season, though that's well off the pace of his 31-point career year from 2023-24.
