Vilardi picked up three assists in a 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
The Jets top line accounted for 11 points -- Mark Scheifele had three goals and an assist, and Kyle Connor had two goals and two assists. Vilardi has 14 goals and 17 assists in 36 games this season, which puts him within 10 points of a tying his career mark (41). He's always been talented, but he's also almost always gotten hurt. Fingers and toes crossed that Vilardi has put that injury history behind him, and he can fulfill his 70-point potential.

Vilardi had a goal and assist on the power play in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Canadiens. He also had two shots on net.
EDGE Analysis
Vilardi was left alone at the corner of the net and scored the first of Winnipeg's two power-play goals to erase an early 1-0 lead for Montreal. He later assisted on a Kyle Connor tally with the Jets up a skater in the second period. The two-point night was Vilardi's third in the last six outings.

Vilardi scored a goal on three shots, added an assist and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 8-1 win over the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
The Jets' first line is humming again -- all three of Vilardi, Mark Scheifele and Kyle Connor had multiple points Tuesday. For Vilardi, it was his second such effort in four games, a span in which he has three goals and two assists. The 25-year-old is up to 12 goals, 10 assists, 57 shots on net and a plus-2 rating through 30 appearances. He doesn't boast as high a ceiling as his linemates, but Vilardi is shaping up to be a reliable offense-only option for fantasy managers.

Vilardi scored a goal in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Vilardi has three points over his last two games and appears to be coming back around on offense. He had a strong October, but his consistency petered out in late November. The 25-year-old remains in a top-line role, and he's nearly halfway to his career high in points (41), set in 2022-23 with the Kings over 63 games. Vilardi has 11 goals, 20 points, 52 shots on net and a plus-2 rating through 28 appearances this season.

Vilardi had a goal and an assist in a 3-2 overtime win over the Sabres on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Vilardi redirected a point shot past Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen's glove to tie the game 1-1. It was Vilardi's first multi-point game in more than a month -- he had a goal and assist Oct. 30 against the Red Wings. Overall, he has 10 goals, nine assists and 51 shots in 27 games this season. Vilardi is on pace for his first-ever 30-goal season. He's a solid fantasy contributor.

Vilardi scored a power-play goal in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Vilardi got the Jets on the board at 9:12 of the second period, but his tally was all they could muster on 14 shots against David Rittich and the Kings. The 25-year-old Vilardi has three points over his last seven contests, and both of his goals in that span have come on the power play. It's a slight drop from the eight-game point streak he had from Oct. 28 to Nov. 12. For the season, Vilardi has nine goals, 17 points (eight on the power play), 44 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating through 23 appearances.

Vilardi scored a power-play goal and won 12 of 16 faceoffs in Friday's 4-1 win over the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
Vilardi is a natural center, but he has frequently served as a winger this season. It's unclear what led to his larger role at the dot Friday -- Mark Scheifele took just two draws, but there's been no report of him dealing with an injury. Vilardi hasn't posted a multi-point effort in November, but he has five goals and three assists over 10 appearances this month as he continues to be steady on offense. Overall, he has eight goals, eight helpers, seven power-play points, 38 shots on net and a plus-3 rating across 20 contests.

Vilardi notched an assist and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Vilardi didn't have the same success as linemates Mark Scheifele (hat trick) or Kyle Connor (goal and assist) in this contest. Still, Vilardi has kept a strong scoring pace and bounced back from his first multi-game drought since Oct. 20-22. The 25-year-old forward has seven goals, eight helpers, 37 shots on net and a plus-3 rating through 19 appearances this season. He's on pace to challenge for a 60-point campaign, and his 18.9 shooting percentage isn't a huge concern since he's been right around that level in each of the previous two seasons.
