This was all-the-while skating just 13:35 a game. Furthermore, he posted a strong CF% Rel of 10.0. This means he was generating offence consistently.
Scott Billeck, a prominent writer for the Winnipeg Jets has reported that newly appointed Jets head coach Scott Arniel has been meeting with Perfetti 1-on-1. This suggests that communication has been positive and could lead to long-term contract considerations.
