EDGE Analysis

Appleton helped out on both of Mark Scheifele's goals in the second period as the Jets' top line led the charge. The empty-netter was Appleton's first goal of the season. The 26-year-old winger has yet to find much consistency -- he has two multi-point efforts in 12 games, but he's gotten on the scoresheet only one other time. He's at six points, 21 shots on net, 26 hits and a plus-2 rating while filling a variety of roles early on.
