The Jets reassigned Perfetti from AHL Manitoba to the taxi squad Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Perfetti, who played two October games with Winnipeg, will serve as insurance in case any of the Jets' regular forwards get injured or enter COVID-19 protocols.

Perfetti was assigned to AHL Manitoba on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Perfetti drew into the lineup for the Jets' first two games of the campaign, going scoreless while averaging just 8:56 of ice time, before sitting as a healthy scratch Tuesday against Minnesota. The 19-year-old forward will almost certainly be back with the big club at some point this season, but he could be in for an extended stay in the minors.

Perfetti was demoted to AHL Manitoba on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

With the Jets off until Tuesday's matchup with the Flames, Perfetti will spend some time playing in the minors with the Moose. Depending on the availability of Jansen Harkins (lower body), Perfetti could be added back to the taxi squad in the coming days.

The Jets reassigned Perfetti to the taxi squad via AHL Manitoba on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The 19-year-old will get his first taste of the top level after he was selected 10th overall in the 2020 NHL Draft. Perfetti was dominant in the OHL last season, racking up 111 points in 61 games for Saginaw. He's expected to spend most of his time in the minors this season, but don't be surprised if he earns NHL action in 2021.

Perfetti signed a three-year, entry-level contract with Winnipeg on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Perfetti -- who was selected by the Jets with the 10th overall pick in the 2020 NHL Draft -- racked up 111 points in 61 contests for OHL Saginaw last year. While the winger figures to spend at least another year in juniors, it's possible the organization opts to move him up to the AHL right away.
