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.
