Perfetti has six goals, 14 assists, 62 SOG, 16 PIMs and is a +5 plus/minus and will miss Friday's game due to an undisclosed injury. He is considered day-to-day and the Jets will be hoping to have him back for after the holiday break.
Perfetti is expected to miss some time with an upper-body injury, so he was moved to IR to open up a roster spot for Adam Brooks, who was claimed off of waivers from Toronto.
Perfetti suffered an upper-body injury on a hit from the much bigger Jamie Oleksiak on Thursday and will miss some time. With Andrew Copp also sidelined, the Jets' depth will be tested vs. the Oilers on Saturday.
With Jansen Harkins going onto the COVID-19 protocol list this morning, Perfetti will suit up in Colorado. Perfetti did not register a point in two NHL games earlier in the season but had 15 points (6G / 9A) in 17 AHL games before departing for the World Juniors.
Perfetti failed to record a point in his first two NHL games and gets reassigned to AHL where he can play top-6 minutes. Perfetti had nine goals and 17 assists (26 points) in 32 AHL games last year.
Perfetti was the No.10 overall pick in 2020 and spent the 2021 season in Manitoba (AHL), where he had nine goals and 17 assists (26 points) in 32 games. In his debut, he will skate on the third line with Adam Lowry and Jansen Harkins.
