Perfetti (upper body) has been designated for injured reserve, per the NHL media site.
EDGE Analysis
Perfetti was labeled more than day-to-day by coach Dave Lowry, so his placement on IR shouldn't come as a surprise. Even once cleared to play, the 20-year-old winger could struggle to get back into the lineup, especially after the team picked up Adam Brooks off waivers.

Perfetti will be out longer than "day-to-day" with an upper-body injury, Ken Wiebe of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Jets have yet to release a concrete timetable for Perfetti's return, but it's probably safe to assume the 20-year-old rookie will miss multiple contests at a minimum. With Perfetti on the shelf, look for Evgeny Svechnikov to draw into the lineup Saturday versus Edmonton.

Perfetti (undisclosed) was injured in the third period of Thursday's game versus the Kraken. Head coach Dave Lowry didn't have an update on his status after the game, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Perfetti was hurt on a hit from Jamie Oleksiak in the third period. More on Perfetti's status should surface prior to Saturday's game versus the Oilers, though he can be considered day-to-day until he's evaluated further.

Perfetti produced a goal and an assist in Wednesday's 6-3 win over Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
Perfetti gave the Jets a 4-1 lead early in the third period with what turned into the game-winning goal after the Wild clawed back a pair later in the frame. The 2020 first-round pick added an assist on a Kyle Connor goal, giving Perfetti his second multi-point performance in 17 NHL games to go with his first game-winning goal. Perfetti's definitely a name to watch in dynasty formats, and his top-six deployment in the top-heavy Winnipeg offense could make him worth targeting in redraft formats as well.

Perfetti added an assist in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Stars on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Perfetti assisted on the game-tying goal to end the second period, but he was unable to keep the Jets from falling in this one. The left winger has four assists across his past six games, accounting for all of his helpers through 14 appearances as a rookie this season.

Perfetti contributed two assists in a 5-3 loss to the Panthers on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Perfetti had his first assist of the season on Kyle Connor's goal in the first period before doubling up with a power-play assist in the second period. The helper was the first of his career. The rookie sits at a goal and two assists now in nine NHL games.

Perfetti scored his first career goal in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
The 20-year-old opened his NHL account with a beauty, finishing a two-on-one rush with Pierre-Luc Dubois by ripping the puck just inside the near post past Vitek Vanecek. It's Perfetti's first point in five games since his promotion, but as long as he's seeing ice time with Dubois and Kyle Connor on the Jets' top line, the rookie will have some fantasy appeal.

Perfetti will be in action against Detroit on Thursday after being added to the active roster, Scott Billeck of the Winnipeg Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Perfetti is poised to play on the Jets' top line with Pierre-Luc Dubois and Kyle Connor in addition to linking up with the No. 2 power-play unit. Given those roles, the winger could be a top-half fantasy target at least until Blake Wheeler (knee) and Nikolaj Ehlers (COVID-19 protocols) are cleared to return.

The Jets reassigned Perfetti to the taxi squad Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Perfetti played 10:31 and had two shots on goal Thursday in his first NHL game since Oct. 16. The 20-year-old has yet to record a point in three games with Winnipeg and doesn't figure to get playing time once the Jets return to full health.

Perfetti was promoted to the active roster Thursday, per Scott Billeck of the Winnipeg Sun.
EDGE Analysis
Perfetti was called up as a precautionary measure due to Paul Stastny (undisclosed) being designated as a game-time call. The 20-year-old played two games for the Jets back in October.
