Jets' Neal Pionk: Scores in Friday's lossNovember 29, 2024 | 09:47 PM

Pionk scored a goal on two shots in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Golden Knights. Pionk found twine on a shot from the point in the third period, tying the game at 3-3. The defenseman has three points over his last three outings following a five-game slump. He's up to four goals -- one off of last year's total -- and 20 points while adding 44 shots, 38 hits, 38 blocked shots, 16 PIM and a plus-9 rating over 24 appearances. Pionk's role is as steady as it gets on the second pairing and second power-play unit, so he's a safe and well-rounded blueliner for fantasy.
