Rotowire
Perfetti scored a pair of power-play goals on five shots, added two even-strength assists and went plus-4 in Friday's 8-3 win over the Sharks.
Perfetti entered the game with no points over his first three contests of the year before breaking out in a big way. The 22-year-old forward has filled a second-line role, though his line often sees less ice time than the Jets' checking line. Perfetti has added 11 shots on net and three blocked shots over four appearances. As long as he maintains a spot on the second power-play unit, he should be a decent depth forward in fantasy.

Jets' Cole Perfetti: Still unsigned
Rotowire
Perfetti is still a restricted free agent and consequently not taking part in the Jets' training camp, per Jacob Stoller of Sportsnet.ca.
Perfetti was the No. 10 overall pick in the 2020 NHL Draft, but he hasn't enjoyed a breakout campaign yet. However, he did set career highs in 2023-24 with 19 goals and 38 points in 71 regular-season contests. While Perfetti might take another step forward this year, missing a significant portion or all of training camp would put him behind the curve and diminish his chances of having a good year.

Jets' Cole Perfetti: Sustains upper-body injury
Rotowire
Perfetti was injured on a blindside hit from Martin Pospisil in Wednesday's preseason game versus the Flames, John Lu of TSN reports.
Perfetti is set to be evaluated further Thursday. The injury comes at a bad time for Perfetti, as the 21-year-old appeared to have the inside edge to earning the second-line center spot on the Jets' roster. Given his history of injuries, this is a bit concerning. Perfetti could be a sleeper pick in fantasy drafts as a potential breakout candidate if he's able to move past this injury quickly.
