Jets' Cole Perfetti: Ends pointless streak
Rotowire
Perfetti picked up an assist in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Sabres, ending a 15-game point drought.
Perfetti is still goalless in his last 19 outings dating back to Jan. 9 versus Columbus when he potted a pair of markers. Despite the extended slump, the 22-year-old winger has already set career highs in goals (14), points (31), power-play points (11) and games played (59). If he can build upon those numbers next season, Perfetti could offer decent mid-range fantasy value.

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.

Rotowire

Perfetti worked primarily as a winger last season, before an upper-body injury cut his campaign short in mid-February. The 21-year-old forward appears set to get the first chance to fill the second-line center spot that belonged to Pierre-Luc Dubois prior to his trade to the Kings. Perfetti has 37 points in 69 games across two NHL seasons, though fantasy managers may be wary of his injury history despite his upside as a first-round pick from 2020.
