Gabriel Vilardi posts two points in Jets overtime win

Fantasy hockey: His underlying numbers suggest the scoring will not last, making this a good sell-high moment rather than a reason to chase him.

Gabriel Vilardi recorded one goal and one assist on seven shots in 20:57 of ice time Saturday, November 14 as Winnipeg beat Chicago 5-4 in overtime. He also blocked one shot and finished minus-one.

The two points look strong against his recent averages of 0.37 goals and 0.83 points per game, but his underlying play grades only 34 out of 100 among forwards in shots, scoring chances and ice time. That gap between results and process suggests his scoring will not hold.

Gabriel Vilardi

Vilardi put seven shots on net in 20:57 of ice time, well above his 1.9 shots per game and 18:41 per night in recent work. He ranks fourth among all Jets skaters in power-play time at 2:54 per game and works on the first unit, giving him opportunities to score even when his process numbers suggest he will not sustain his current pace. His recent averages include 0.46 assists and 0.29 power-play points per game.

The mismatch between his counting stats and his 34th-percentile process grade makes this a sell-high spot. Fantasy managers who roster Vilardi should look to move him while his point totals remain respectable, as the underlying numbers point to a dip ahead. Winnipeg has three games left this week, playing Saturday, Tuesday and Thursday, then four next week.

What to do

• Trade Vilardi now while his point total masks his weak underlying numbers.

• Do not add him off waivers, as his 34th-percentile process grade signals regression ahead.

• If you hold him, use the three games left this week to showcase his production before moving him.
