Perlini signed a one-year, $874,125 contract extension with the Blackhawks on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Perlini showed some promise as a scorer during his first season with the Blackhawks, potting 12 goals while adding three assists in 46 appearances after joining the team via a trade in late November. The 6-foot-3 winger will slot into a bottom-six role for Chicago in 2019-20.

Perlini has received a qualifying offer from the Blackhawks, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Perlini showed some promise during his first season with Chicago, notching 12 goals and 15 points in 46 appearances after being traded to the team in late November. The Blackhawks clearly think he may still have some untapped potential, so look for them to sign him to a short-term deal in the coming weeks.

Perlini skated only 5:44 in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

He didn't take a shift in the third period, extending his point drought to six games with the empty score line. Perlini was not reported injured during or immediately following the game, so the 22-year-old may have found his way into coach Jeremy Colliton's dog house after being given a chance to skate with Patrick Kane and Artem Anisimov.

Perlini scored a goal and added two assists in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

That's back-to-back three-point performances for Perlini, who potted a hat trick against the Coyotes on Monday. The third-year winger only has 12 goals and 19 points on the season, but half that production (seven goals and two assists) has come in the last six games. It's taken a while, but the 12th overall pick in the 2014 draft could finally be putting things together in the NHL.

Perlini scored in all three periods Monday, helping his team to a 7-1 rout of Arizona.

EDGE Analysis

Where did this come from? Perlini had all of three goals for the season at the start of the month and now has six goals in March alone. At this point, there's little to lose in playing him in daily leagues to see if he can keep catching lightning in a bottle.

Perlini scored two goals in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

With Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews having a rare off night, Perlini stepped up with some rare offense after spending the prior four games in the press box. The third-year winger only has seven goals and 12 points through 52 games, however, and hadn't lit the lamp since Jan. 1, so don't expect a repeat any time soon.

Perlini will be a healthy scratch for Wednesday's road contest against the Ducks, Mark Lazerus of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Perlini was originally thought to have an undisclosed injury, but that might have been covering up the fact that he was scratched. The 22-year-old hasn't produced this season, only racking up 10 points in 51 games. The Blackhawks will stick with John Hayden as their fourth line right wing.

Perlini (undisclosed) will not suit up for Sunday's game against Dallas, Scott Powers of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Perlini has missed the last three games and it's possible that he's just a healthy scratch at this point but it hasn't been confirmed. There hasn't been an update on his health since he skated with the team Friday.

Perlini (undisclosed) won't play in Friday's game versus the Avalanche, Mark Lazerus of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Perlini missed Wednesday's game versus the Red Wings due to an illness but rejoined the team and took line rushes during Friday's morning skate. It's unclear if he had a setback with his illness or if he's simply a healthy scratch.

Perlini (illness) served as the right winger on the fourth line during practice Friday, indicating he should rejoin the lineup against the Avalanche, Tracey Myers of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Perlini doesn't provide much from a fantasy standpoint, having collected only three goals and an assist over 29 contests in 2018-19. As a result, his return to the ice Friday likely won't impact many fantasy leagues, though the physical forward has delivered 27 hits, which can be useful in some formats.
