Perlini scored a goal on seven shots, dished an assist, logged two hits and went plus-2 in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
Perlini set up Derek Ryan's first-period tally before scoring one of his own in the second. The 25-year-old Perlini had been a non-factor in his previous appearances this season, logging no points and just six shots on net before Thursday's explosion on offense. He's still expected to see just a bottom-six role, so don't expect a repeat effort any time soon.
