Perfetti Quietly Assists Twice in Winnipeg's Romp at Dallas

Cole Perfetti found the scoresheet twice without taking a shot-heavy turn: two assists, both at even strength, as the Jets beat the Stars 8-3 in Dallas.

He finished plus 2 with one shot on goal and one blocked shot in 17:30 of ice time over 18 shifts. That ranked seventh among the 18 Winnipeg skaters and third among the team's 12 forwards. He did not lead the group in minutes, and he did not factor on special teams: no power-play points and no penalties.

For the season, Perfetti now has 7 goals and 11 assists in 20 games, and he averages 18.2 minutes a night, so this was a normal workload. The two-assist output fits a player who has been involved in plenty of scoring chances; the Jets have had 121 high-danger chances to 65 against with him on the ice this year.

The win was Winnipeg's latest in a streak that, per the standings, had stood at four coming in. The Jets sit 8-8-3 and hold the fourth wild-card spot in the West.
