Perreault (upper body) will be a game-time decision for Friday's Game 2 matchup versus the Wild, Sara Orlesky of TSN.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Perreault was roughed up on multiple occasions during Game 1 on Wednesday before he ultimately left the ice for good after logging just 6:52 of ice time. His absence Friday would have a significant ripple effect on the lines and the second power-play unit, but official word on his status appears unlikely before the team takes the ice for pregame warmups.

EDGE Analysis

Perreault's tally -- his 17th of the season -- gave him 14 power-play points on the year -- one short of his career high. In fact, the winger needs just one more goal to match his career-best of 18, which he achieved in back-to-back seasons (2013-15). Matchups with non-playoff clubs Montreal, Calgary and Chicago could open the door for the 29-year-old to set some personal records.

Perreault (illness) will play against the Devils on Thursday, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Perreault missed the game-day skate due to his illness, which called into question whether or not he'd be able to play. The 30-year-old is clearly under the weather, so he may not be up to his usual standards. However, he's still slated into his normal spot on the wing for Winnipeg's third line, and he will presumably get his typical power-play minutes as well.

Perreault's status for Thursday's clash with New Jersey is in doubt due to an undisclosed malady, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Paul Maurice didn't give any indication whether Perreault was injured or dealing with an illness, but the center was not in attendance at Thursday's game-day skate. Brandon Tanev is already slated to slot in for Mark Scheifele (upper body), which means Mark Dano would step into the lineup if Perreault is unavailable.

EDGE Analysis

It was the third three-point game of the season for Perreault, who is now up to 16 goals and 37 points in 47 games. He's been super consistent all year and is sporting a tidy plus-10 rating. Perreault's power-play gig and lethal shot make him worth owning in almost all fantasy leagues.

Perreault netted a pair of helpers in Tuesday's 4-3 victory over Washington.

EDGE Analysis

Even with Mark Scheifele back in the lineup, Perreault is still getting a look on the top line The natural center should find himself in a good position to rack up some points as long as he continues to play alongside Scheifele and Blake Wheeler. Primarily a power-play specialist for much of the season, the Quebec native has tallied 12 of his 34 points with the man advantage.

Perreault tallied a goal and an assist against San Jose on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Perreault has racked up an impressive six goals (three on the power play) and a trio helpers during the 11-game absence of Mark Scheifele (upper body). The 29-year-old Perreault has stepped up big time for the Jets while they are missing their talented top-line center. For now, look for the Quebec native to continue to get big minutes in a top-six role.

Perreault netted the Jets' only regulation goal in a 2-1 shootout win over Calgary.

EDGE Analysis

Perreault has four goals in his last five games and six points in that span. He's sniping at an unreasonable 21.7 percent, almost eight points above his career mark. Perreault won't keep it up, but right now, he's a hot activation. Don't be afraid to leverage his heat into a trade. Perreault has 14 goals, but has never tallied more than 18 in a season. And he's missed big chunks of time to injury every year.

Perreault scored the Jets' only goal Saturday in a 4-1 loss to the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

Perreault has five points, including three goals, in his last four games and 26 in 34 this season. He's rolling on a line with Bryan Little and Nikolaj Ehlers, and he's headed toward a career mark in points. However, Perreault's 13 goals in 34 games have come on the back of a bloated, 22.2 percent shooting percentage, so expect some regression to his career average of 13. 8 percent.
