Jets' Dylan Samberg: Picks up helper in overtime win
Rotowire
Samberg logged an assist and blocked four shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Oilers.
Samberg's offense continues to shine through lately -- he has two goals and three helpers over his last seven games. It's unclear if this is an evolution in his play or just a brief stretch of success that can happen for a top-four defender. Samberg has matched his career high of 18 points, doing so with six goals and 12 helpers, as well as 75 shots on net, 93 blocked shots, 45 hits and a plus-30 rating, over 48 contests in 2024-25.

Jets' Dylan Samberg: Goal, assist in comeback win
Rotowire
Samberg scored a goal on five shots, added an assist, blocked two shots and went plus-3 in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Kraken.
Samberg set up Cole Perfetti to get the Jets on the board late in the first period. In overtime, Perfetti returned the favor to allow Samberg to score the game-winning goal, the second game-winner of his career. The 26-year-old Samberg has four points over his last five outings and continues to look sharp defensively in a second-pairing role. He's at six goals, 11 assists, 73 shots on net, 88 blocked shots, 44 hits and a plus-32 rating over 46 appearances this season. He has yet to hit the 20-point mark in any season of his career, but he could do so in 2024-25 if he keeps his recent momentum up over the next few weeks.

Jets' Dylan Samberg: Does everything except record point
Rotowire
Samberg fired three shots on goal and held a plus-2 rating in 24:28 of ice time in Wednesday's 4-1 victory over the Senators.
The offensive numbers don't pop, but there's a reason Samberg has averaged 21:13 of ice time this season, up nearly six minutes from any of his prior three seasons. He didn't record a point Wednesday, but filled up the stat sheet in other ways - plus-2 rating, three shots on goal, three hits, four blocks - in a team-high 24:18 of ice time with over three of those minutes coming on the penalty kill.

Jets' Dylan Samberg: Collects two points
Rotowire
Samberg tallied a goal, an assist, a plus-2 rating and three shots during Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Capitals.
Samberg is on pace to establish new highs offensively, registering four goals and 12 points through 33 games this season. The 26-year-old has acquitted himself nicely on the second pairing with Neal Pionk but will need to generate more offense to garner much fantasy consideration outside of deeper leagues.

Rotowire

Jets' Dylan Samberg: Posts assist in Saturday's win
Rotowire
Samberg notched an assist, three shots on goal, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Avalanche.
This was Samberg's second game back from missing 21 contests due to a broken foot. The 25-year-old led the Jets with 24:47 of ice time Saturday, and he's immediately resumed a top-four role on the blue line. He's unlikely to be a significant source of offense, instead serving in more of a shutdown role. Samberg is at seven points, 30 shots on net, 35 blocked shots, 26 hits, 18 PIM and a plus-14 rating through 23 outings in 2024-25.

Rotowire
Samberg scored a goal on two shots and added 10 PIM in Sunday's 7-4 win over the Lightning.

The 25-year-old has three tallies, one assist, 17 shots on net, 16 PIM, 14 hits, 14 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating through 12 contests. Samberg probably won't score a lot over the rest of the campaign -- he's shooting 17.6 percent -- but he offers decent non-scoring production while filling a top-four role.

Jets' Dylan Samberg: Buries goal in win
Rotowire

Samberg had 18 points, 77 shots on net, 111 blocked shots, 65 hits and a plus-16 rating in 78 regular-season appearances in 2023-24, but a larger role could lead to him earning his first 20-point campaign this year.
