DeMelo logged a shorthanded assist in Saturday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

DeMelo had gone over two months without a point, earning 29 shots on net, 28 hits and 27 blocked shots over that 22-game slump. The 32-year-old defenseman was credited with the secondary helper on Cole Koepke's shorthanded tally in the second period. DeMelo is up to 18 points (two shorthanded), 65 shots on net, 99 hits, 95 blocked shots and 36 PIM over 69 outings this season, playing primarily in a shutdown role in the top four.

DeMelo's point drought reached 19 games in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

During the slump, DeMelo has 27 shots on net, a minus-2 rating, 25 hits and 25 blocked shots. He is primarily a defensive player in a top-four role on the blue line, so the lack of offense isn't a surprise, especially considering the Jets' overall struggles this season. DeMelo has 17 points, 62 shots on net, 96 hits, 92 blocked shots, 34 PIM and a plus-10 rating over 65 appearances. He's at risk of falling short of the 20-point mark for a second straight year if he doesn't end the slump soon.

DeMelo scored a goal and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

DeMelo's goal came just over two minutes after the Islanders scored three times in a span of 2:41. The 32-year-old defenseman has three points over seven games in January, including two of his three goals on the season. He's contributed 16 points, 34 shots on net, 69 hits, 65 blocked shots, 32 PIM and a plus-12 rating over 45 appearances. DeMelo remains in a shutdown role in the Jets' top four.

DeMelo scored a goal Thursday in a 6-5 loss to Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

DeMelo ended a 29-game goal and an eight-game point drought. His slapper may not have beaten Joseph Woll, but the puck was inadvertently deflected by Auston Matthews. It still counts. DeMelo has two goals, 12 assists, 30 shots, 60 hits and 58 blocks in 39 games. His shot total is woefully low, so if he picks up the shot pace even slightly, DeMelo could come close to equaling his career mark of 31 points, including 28 assists, in 82 games in 2023-24, while delivering triple digits in both hits and blocks.

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.
