Perfetti earned an assist and two PIM in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Perfetti helped out on a Neal Pionk tally in the second period. The helper snapped a three-game dry spell for Perfetti, who looks set for a longer audition on the top line with Blake Wheeler (groin) likely out for a month. Perfetti has held his own this year with six goals, 13 helpers, 58 shots on net, 22 hits, 16 PIM and a plus-5 rating through 30 contests. Playing alongside Mark Scheifele should give Perfetti a fairly high floor on offense.

Perfetti registered three assists in Tuesday's 5-0 win against Colorado.
EDGE Analysis
Perfetti extended his point streak to three games, giving him four goals and 14 points in 21 contests in 2022-23. The 20-year-old is playing in his first full season, but entering Tuesday's game he was averaging a respectable 15:08 of ice time, including 1:37 on the power play. As long as Perfetti continues to serve in that role, he has a fair chance at maintaining his scoring pace.
