Pionk scored a goal on three shots, added three hits and blocked two shots in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Canucks.
Pionk has three goals and an assist over his last five games. The 31-year-old defenseman continues to fill in as Winnipeg's top blueliner, and it's led to enhanced all-around production lately. He has a total of four goals, seven assists, 42 shots on net, 40 hits, 21 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over 17 appearances. Pionk's multi-category skills make him a reliable depth defensemen in fantasy.

Pionk scored twice on four shots in Thursday's 6-4 loss to Tampa Bay. He added four hits and one block.
The goals came in his 600th NHL game. Pionk has nine points, including three goals, along with 27 hits and 28 shots in 13 games this season. He has stepped into the minutes and role of the sidelined Josh Morrissey (wrist), who will be off the ice for at least another week. Fantasy managers shouldn't feel many reservations about rolling with Pionk until Morrissey returns.

Pionk scored a goal on four shots, dished two assists (one on the power play) and added two hits in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Blackhawks.
Pionk has stepped up in the absence of Josh Morrissey (wrist), earning five points over the last two games. The 31-year-old Pionk is doing a little bit of everything, aside from taking a trip to the sin bin. Through seven contests, he has a goal, five helpers, 13 shots on net, 12 hits, 12 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating while playing in a top-four role. He's at least worth a short-term addition in fantasy while he's seeing top billing on the Jets' blue line.

Pionk registered two assists, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Wild.
Pionk has earned three helpers this season, all coming in the last three games. The 31-year-old defenseman also has nine shots on net, 10 hits, 11 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over six appearances. Pionk was limited to a career-worst 12 points in 51 outings on a bad Jets team last year, but he battled injuries. With Winnipeg looking stronger to start 2026-27, Pionk is poised for a bounce-back campaign, which should put him on the radar as a well-rounded depth defenseman in fantasy.
