DeMelo logged an assist, five hits and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
DeMelo has produced just two points over nine contests since his three-game assist streak in mid-December. The 31-year-old defenseman continues to add physicality in a top-four role, and he may be tasked with tougher minutes if Josh Morrissey (lower body) misses time after leaving Tuesday's game. Through 42 appearances, DeMelo has eight points, 37 shots on net, 73 hits, 51 blocked shots and a plus-19 rating.

DeMelo (undisclosed) is expected to play Thursday versus Anaheim, per Cole Bagley of KSL Sports.
EDGE Analysis
DeMelo has a goal, seven points, 64 hits and 46 blocks in 39 appearances in 2024-25. He exited Tuesday's 5-2 loss to Colorado after blocking a shot in the third period, but it seems he won't miss a full game due to the injury.

DeMelo sustained an undisclosed injury blocking a shot in the third period of Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche, Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press
EDGE Analysis
DeMelo ended the game with two hits and three blocked shots in 23:43 of ice time. There was no update on the defenseman's status after the contest. The Jets can ill afford another injury on the blue line -- they're already missing Dylan Samberg (foot) and Haydn Fleury (lower body). More information on DeMelo's status should be available prior to Thursday's home game versus the Ducks.

DeMelo logged an assist, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
DeMelo has a helper in three straight games, following a stretch of 14 contests in which he failed to record a point. The 31-year-old defenseman has remained in a top-four role throughout the year thanks to his steady defensive play.

DeMelo had an assist, two blocks and one hit in Saturday's 4-2 win over Montreal.
EDGE Analysis
DeMelo, who snapped a 14-game point-less run in Thursday's overtime loss to Vegas, recorded an assist for the second consecutive game. The helper was his fifth over 32 outings. That's well behind the pace set last season when the 31-year-old blueliner posted a career-high 31 points, but the Jets aren't looking for him to regularly land on the scoresheet. Winnipeg relies on him to be the stay-at-home partner on the top pair, allowing Josh Morrissey to push the offense. DeMelo, who finished second in the NHL with a plus-46 rating last season, currently stands at plus-9 in 2024-25.

DeMelo notched an assist, two hits and two PIM in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
DeMelo went 14 games without a point before snapping the drought when he set up a Josh Morrissey tally in the third period. The 31-year-old DeMelo doesn't focus on offense, but his top-pairing role has often led to him chipping a decent amount of points simply by sharing ice time with the Jets' best players. For the season, he has just four helpers to go with 54 hits, 34 blocked shots, 28 shots on net, 14 PIM and a plus-8 rating over 31 contests.

DeMelo's point drought reached 13 games in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
DeMelo has also been under 20 minutes of ice time in two of the last three games -- the only other time that's happened this year was in a blowout win Opening Night versus the Oilers. The 31-year-old remains firmly in the Jets' top four, but the lack of offense hinders what little fantasy value he has. Overall, he's at three assists, 25 shots on net, 48 hits, 31 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a plus-5 rating over 29 appearances. He topped the 30-point mark with three goals, 28 assists and a career-best plus-46 rating in 82 regular-season outings in 2023-24, so this downturn on offense is disappointing.

DeMelo logged an assist, two shots on goal, four hits and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 7-4 win over the Lightning.
EDGE Analysis
DeMelo snapped a six-game point drought with his helper on Dylan Samberg's game-winning goal in the third period. With two points through 12 contests, DeMelo is off the pace that saw him log 31 points in 82 regular-season outings last year. He's added nine shots on net, 26 hits, 22 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating, offering reliable non-scoring production while playing in a top-four role.
