EDGE Analysis

While Vilardi wasn't officially ruled out against the Ducks on Wednesday, it would seem like a quick turnaround to immediately press him back into action in a game that doesn't mean anything for the Jets. As such, the 25-year-old Ontario native will likely finish the regular season having recorded career bests in goals (27), assists (34) and power-play points (25).

He has nine points (three goals, six assists) in 10 games since the regular season resumed following the 4 Nations break.

EDGE Analysis

Vilardi had the secondary assist on Kyle Connor's goal in the third period. The 25-year-old Vilardi has 33 assists, 59 points and 120 shots on net in 64 games this season. He is currently tied for 34th in points across the league and has the third-most points for Winnipeg behind linemates Connor and Mark Scheifele. Vilardi has four assists in his last two games and has taken a drastic leap in his playmaking totals while skating on Winnipeg's top line.

EDGE Analysis
