Zhilkin’s New Career High (Again)

Danny Zhilkin continued his strong start to his third professional season on Saturday afternoon, picking up a goal in Manitoba’s contest against the Rockford IceHogs. His sixth marker of the season served as a new career-high 11th point (6G, 5A), and comes only a month after he set a new career-high in goals, which he did with his first career multi-goal effort in Rockford on Nov. 15. The Moscow, Russia native has a goal on the power play, another shorthanded, and two of his markers are game-winners. Drafted by the Winnipeg Jets in the third round in 2022, Zhilkin has 28 points (11G, 17A) in 124 AHL contests in his career.

Yager is operating at 0.52 points per game in 2025-26, picking up 14 points (4G, 10A) through his first 27 AHL games. The Saskatoon, Sask. native was acquired by the Jets via trade, and was selected 14th overall in the 2023 NHL Draft by the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Anderson-Dolan Clicking Along

Jaret Anderson-Dolan continues to hum along for the Moose, picking up an assist on Saturday afternoon. He has three points (2G, 1A) over the span of his past four games, bringing his season total to 13 points (5G, 8A) in 27 contests. The Calgary, Alta. native has scored a pair of game-winning goals for Manitoba thus far. Nearing his 200th career game in the AHL, Anderson-Dolan has scored 111 points (46G, 65A) through 193 contests.

Multi-Point Gustafsson

David Gustafsson compiled another multi-point game for the Moose on Saturday afternoon, scoring a goal in the second period, and adding an assist to his totals. It brings him to 18 points (5G, 13A) in 25 games, good for the team lead in the department. The Tingsryd, Sweden native recorded his sixth multi-point of the season, two of which have come in his two most recent contests. Gustafsson is currently on a three-game point streak, in which time he has five points (1G, 4A), and has seven points (1G, 6A) over his past five games. Gustafsson was a second-round pick by the Winnipeg Jets in the 2018 NHL Draft.
