The 26-year-old winger is up to 14 points, 59 shots on net and a minus-5 rating through 43 outings.

Appleton dropped a pass for Mark Giordano, who then set up the first of Carson Soucy's pair of goals. The helper snapped a seven-game point drought for Appleton, a cold stretch that dated back to Dec. 15. The winger is at seven points, 35 shots on net, 16 hits and a minus-5 rating in 25 contests. He played on the fourth line Thursday, so there's not much reason to be optimistic about his offense picking up in the second half of the season.

Appleton exited the NHL's COVID-19 protocols Tuesday, per Mike Benton of Sports Radio KJR.

EDGE Analysis

Appleton only tallied one point through the opening seven games of the season before he was placed on injured reserve.

EDGE Analysis

Appleton has struggled to produce this season, as he has just six points in 19 contests. The 25-year-old Wisconsin native is off the pace he set last year in which he tallied 12 goals and 13 assists in 56 games for the Jets. Unless he can find his scoring touch soon, Appleton will be stuck as a mid-range fantasy target once the Jets get back on the ice.

EDGE Analysis

Appleton has helpers in consecutive games and three assists in his last five outings. That uptick in production has doubled his point total to six in 17 games. The 25-year-old continues to serve as a middle-six winger, though his modest offense likely isn't enough to interest fantasy managers.
