Perfetti scored a goal in Friday's 3-2 win over the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

Perfetti opened the scoring at 2:12 of the second period, and the Jets scored twice more over the next six minutes. The 21-year-old is red-hot with goals in five straight games and points in eight straight outings, racking up five assists over that longer span. He's up to six tallies, 14 points, 33 shots on net and a plus-6 rating through 16 appearances. While there's virtually no physicality in his game, Perfetti's offense is at a level that returns value in almost all fantasy formats.

EDGE Analysis

Perfetti has been steady lately, scoring in four straight games and earning a point in each of his last seven outings (four goals, five helpers). The 21-year-old forward contributed both of his points Tuesday in the second period. He's up to five tallies, eight assists, 32 shots on net and a plus-5 rating through 15 appearances. He had 30 points in 51 outings last year, but he's on pace to easily crush that mark in 2023-24.

EDGE Analysis

Winnipeg was on the short end of this home game, but Perfetti certainly did his part to try and stop that. He ended the contest with a plus-2 rating and three shots on goal while splitting his two faceoff attempts in 15:12 of ice time. The 21-year-old has posted four assists across the past four outings. Next up is a trip to Vegas on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Perfetti's goal cut the Vegas lead to 3-2 late in the second period. The 10th overall pick in the 2020 Draft, Perfetti has been seeing second-line duty alongside Vladislav Namestnikov and Nikolaj Ehlers. Perfetti has two points in four games this season.

Perfetti (upper body) is expected to play in Monday's exhibition matchup against Calgary, David Minuk of Illegal Curve reports.

EDGE Analysis

Perfetti sat out Friday's 3-1 loss against Ottawa after being injured Wednesday in a 3-2 loss to the Flames. He is slated to center the second line when the regular season begins. Perfetti notched eight goals, 30 points and 90 shots on net in 51 games last campaign.

Perfetti (upper body) practiced in a regular jersey Friday, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Perfetti will not play Friday as he is skating with the non-game group. The 21-year-old is in line to start the season on the second line with Nikolaj Ehlers and Nino Niederreiter and should also see time on the second power-play unit. Perfetti had eight goals and 30 points in 51 games last season.

Perfetti was injured on a blindside hit from Martin Pospisil in Wednesday's preseason game versus the Flames, John Lu of TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Perfetti is set to be evaluated further Thursday. The injury comes at a bad time for Perfetti, as the 21-year-old appeared to have the inside edge to earning the second-line center spot on the Jets' roster. Given his history of injuries, this is a bit concerning. Perfetti could be a sleeper pick in fantasy drafts as a potential breakout candidate if he's able to move past this injury quickly.

Perfetti (upper body) is expected to center a line with Nikolaj Ehlers and Nino Niederreiter on Thursday in the Jets' first on-ice practice, Scott Billeck of the Winnipeg Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Perfetti worked primarily as a winger last season, before an upper-body injury cut his campaign short in mid-February. The 21-year-old forward appears set to get the first chance to fill the second-line center spot that belonged to Pierre-Luc Dubois prior to his trade to the Kings. Perfetti has 37 points in 69 games across two NHL seasons, though fantasy managers may be wary of his injury history despite his upside as a first-round pick from 2020.

Perfetti (upper body) has begun skating but continues to be 10-14 days from rejoining the lineup, Ken Wiebe of Sportsnet reports Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Based on Perfetti's timeline, he figures to miss at least the first four games of the series and could be in danger of being unavailable for the entirety of the first round. The youngster has already missed 26 games due to his long-term upper-body injury. Even once cleared to play, Perfetti figures to slot into a bottom-six role and likely won't offer more than mid-range fantasy value.
