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.

Perbix recorded an assist, two shots on goal and two PIM in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Panthers in Game 4.

EDGE Analysis

Perbix ended a seven-game point drought with the helper. The 26-year-old defenseman has played in all four playoff contests but has just two shots on net, a hit, two blocked shots and a minus-1 rating in a limited role. Injuries to forwards have forced the Lightning to regularly dress seven defensemen, which further limits Perbix's playing time.

Perbix scored a goal and blocked two shots in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

Perbix has two goals and three assists over his last 10 outings. The Lightning have mostly stuck to dressing seven defensemen lately, and Perbix has often been on the low end of the ice-time distribution, averaging 13:17 per game over his last 16 outings. The 26-year-old has earned 19 points, 62 shots on net, 66 blocked shots, 50 hits and a plus-8 rating through 70 appearances and has up to four games to achieve the 20-point mark for the third straight season.

Perbix scored a goal Saturday in a 5-3 win over the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

Perbix scored from the right circle off a loose puck in front at 7:31 of the first period. He's not much of an offensive producer, but Perbix is quietly on a three-game point streak, earning one goal and two assists. He has four points, including three assists, in his last five appearances. He doesn't deliver in secondary categories (61 blocks, 58 shots and 49 hits; 65 games), so he's a classic better-on-the-ice defender than in the fantasy arena.

Perbix provided an assist and two blocked shots in Saturday's 6-4 loss to Utah.

EDGE Analysis

The helper snapped an 11-game point drought for Perbix. The 26-year-old has played in seven straight games since he was a healthy scratch twice earlier in March. Emil Lilleberg was out of the lineup Saturday, but Perbix and Darren Raddysh have also been sent to the press box on occasion. Perbix has limited fantasy appeal with just 15 points to go with 56 shots on net, 56 blocked shots, 46 hits and a plus-3 rating across 61 outings this season.

Perbix's ice time dropped to 7:49 in Saturday's 3-1 win over Washington.

EDGE Analysis

The Bolts rolled a seven-man unit on the back end, and Perbix saw just 13 shifts. He managed two shots. Prior to the 4 Nations break, he had a couple of 18-plus minute games, and he has averaged 15:03 this season. Perbix has 14 points (four goals, 10 assists) in 54 games, but just four assists in his last 28 games. A night or two in the press box may be coming.

Perbix notched an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Senators.

EDGE Analysis

Perbix snapped a seven-game slump with the helper on a Luke Glendening tally in the second period. The 26-year-old Perbix has handled a third-pairing role lately, but it's not one that comes with much offense. For the season, the blueliner is at 13 points, 48 shots on net, 45 blocked shots, 33 hits, 16 PIM and a plus-5 rating through 47 contests.

Perbix notched an assist and three blocked shots in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

The assist ended Perbix's 12-game point drought. The 26-year-old remains in a third-pairing role, though he could be elevated to a more prominent spot if Erik Cernak (undisclosed) misses time after logging just one shift Thursday. Perbix has 11 points, 42 shots on net, 40 blocked shots, 28 hits and a plus-4 rating through 38 appearances this season, so he's not a particularly strong option for fantasy.

Perbix scored a goal and went plus-2 in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

Perbix is on a season-best three-game point streak, accumulating a goal and two assists in that span. He saw a larger role while the Lightning navigated a rough patch of injuries on defense, and he's likely to stay in the lineup regularly since J.J. Moser (lower body) is out for 8-10 weeks. Perbix has four goals, 10 points, 31 shots on net, 24 blocked shots, 22 hits and a plus-7 rating over 25 appearances. However, the 26-year-old figures to play on the third pairing most of the time.

Perbix recorded an assist in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Kraken.

EDGE Analysis

Perbix has been pressed into top-four duties amid a rash of injuries to the Lightning defense. The team was without Victor Hedman (lower body) and J.J. Moser (undisclosed) for this contest, so Perbix played on the second pairing, with his 21:54 of ice time being his most since Nov. 7 versus the Flyers. The 26-year-old is at eight points, 29 shots on net, 21 blocked shots, 20 hits and a plus-4 rating over 23 contests, Perbix has mostly been limited to third-pairing duties with no power-play time, so he has low upside in fantasy.
