Perbix scored a goal on two shots and blocked five shots in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Perbix has a point in each of his last two games, and he's earned a goal and three assists over 11 outings since he recovered from an upper-body injury. The defenseman is up to eight points, 39 shots on net, 39 blocked shots, 19 hits and a minus-10 rating through 36 outings this season. While he plays in a top-four role, he doesn't score enough to help in standard fantasy formats.

Perbix posted an assist and went plus-2 in Thursday's 7-2 win over the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Perbix recently missed three games with an upper-body injury, and this was his second contest back in the lineup. Following Friday's trade of Spencer Stastney to Edmonton, Perbix should be slated to see his ice time pick up if the Predators return to dressing six blueliners. Perbix has five points, 30 shots on net, 26 blocked shots, 15 hits and a minus-9 rating through 27 appearances.

Perbix notched an assist and two PIM in Friday's 4-3 win over the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Perbix snapped an 18-game point drought when he helped out on Ryan O'Reilly's game-winning goal in the third period. The 27-year-old Perbix went minus-13 with 24 shots on net and 17 blocked shots in that span. He won't put up a ton of offense, but he can do better than he has over the last month-plus. For the year, the defenseman is at four points, 29 shots on net, 26 blocks, eight PIM and a minus-8 rating through 24 appearances.

Perbix scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
Perbix has scored in back-to-back games, something he's done just twice in his career. The 27-year-old is occupying a top-four role for the Predators and has earned three points, five shots on net, eight blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through five appearances. He should continue to push for at least 20 points, a mark he missed by one last year.

Perbix scored a goal on two shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 7-4 loss to the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
Perbix got his first two points as a member of the Predators. The 27-year-old has been a stable defender early in the year with a plus-5 rating and seven blocked shots. He finished between 19 and 24 points in his first three NHL campaigns with the Lightning, but Perbix may struggle to get to that level with his new team, which doesn't have as strong an offense.

Perbix signed a two-year, $5.5 million contract with Nashville on Tuesday, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Perbix notched six goals, 13 assists and a plus-8 rating over 74 regular-season outings with Tampa Bay in 2024-25. The right-shot blueliner should be able to carve out more ice time with the Preds in 2025-26, as he managed 14:41 with the Lightning last season, mostly in a third-pairing capacity.
