Gagner scored a goal on five shots, dished an assist, went plus-2 and added two PIM in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Gagner looked good on the second line, a role he could hold for a while since Blake Wheeler (groin) is expected to miss a month. With two goals and a helper in his last three games, Gagner is showing he can still contribute some secondary scoring. The 33-year-old forward is at five tallies, five helpers, 53 shots on net, a minus-1 rating and eight PIM through 27 appearances.

Gagner found the back of the net in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to Vegas.
EDGE Analysis
Gagner had been held off the scoresheet in his previous five games, and recorded no goals and four assists in 18 contests from Oct. 27-Dec. 11. Perhaps his goal against Vegas will help spark him, but Gagner entered the contest only averaging 13:13 of ice time, so don't expect too much. The 33-year-old has four goals and eight points in 25 games this season.

Gagner notched a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
Gagner continues to be a presence on the Jets' top power-play unit, where he set up the first of Mark Scheifele's two goals in this game. Through 14 contests, three of Gagner's points have come with the man advantage. He's added 19 shots on net and a plus-3 rating while moving around the lineup, but he's often in a bottom-six role at even strength.

Gagner scored a goal in a 4-0 win over the Blues on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Gagner, who played multiple roles Monday, continues to provide bottom-six scoring for the Jets. The 33-year-old forward doesn't always play on the third and fourth lines, though -- there are times when he earns top-six minutes. The versatile Gagner has three goals in six appearances this season.

Gagner scored a goal as a late substitute Wednesday, helping the Jets upend the Avalanche 4-3 in overtime.
EDGE Analysis
Gagner, who only received 9:53 of ice time Wednesday, made the most of his chances. The 33-year-old center was inserted into the lineup moments before the opening faceoff as Nikolaj Ehlers (undisclosed) was finally ruled out. A secondary scorer throughout his 970-game career, Gagner scored his second in four outings at 6:52 of the first period. For Gagner, it was his 186th career goal.

Gagner scored a goal on three shots in Friday's 4-1 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Gagner gave the Jets a late lead at 15:35 of the third period, and his tally stood as the game-winner. It took him just one game to get on the scoresheet with his new team after signing a one-year deal in September. The 33-year-old had 31 points in 81 games last year while seeing minimal power-play time, and that's about the level he's played at over the last few years. If he remains in a bottom-six role, he's not likely to earn much attention from fantasy managers.

Gagner signed a one-year, $750,000 contract with Winnipeg on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Gagner had 13 goals and 31 points in 81 contests with Detroit last season. He's capable of performing similarly in Winnipeg while serving primarily in a bottom-six role.

Gagner dished out two assists in Friday's 5-3 win over the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
Gagner's multi-point night in the season finale raised his season point total to 31 over 80 games. He'll be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, and Gagner's unlikely to draw significant interest given his mediocre production and advanced age (he'll turn 33 in August).
