Cole Perfetti scores twice as Jets roll past Wild

Fantasy hockey: Perfetti's two-goal night, including one on the power play, dwarfs his recent averages and makes him a streaming option in deeper formats.

Cole Perfetti recorded two goals and four shots in 16:13 of ice time on Tuesday, October 13 as the Jets beat the Wild 5-2. One of his goals came on the power play, and he finished plus-one with a hit.

The two-point, four-shot line sits well above his recent averages of 0.52 points and 2.0 shots a night in 15:46. His underlying play grades 77 out of 100 among forwards, a read on how sustainable his scoring is, and he opens the week with three games remaining on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

Cole Perfetti

Perfetti averages 0.19 goals and 0.32 assists per game over his 200-game sample, so a two-goal outing represents a significant spike. He plays on the first power-play unit and averages 2:08 a night there, ranking fifth among all Jets skaters in power-play ice time. The extra half-minute at even strength beyond his usual 15:46 and the power-play goal point to heavier deployment in this contest.

The center averages 0.12 power-play points per game and adds 0.7 hits and 0.5 blocks, making him a deeper-league option whose secondary categories help only modestly. With three games left this week and three next week, Perfetti is worth streaming in formats that reward volume and can absorb the risk that his process grade of 77 suggests he will not repeat this output every night.

What to do

• Stream Perfetti in deeper formats this week for his three-game slate and hope the power-play time holds.

• Expect regression toward his 0.52 points per game, but the four shots and first-unit power-play role offer a solid floor.

• Monitor his ice time over the next two games to see whether the 16:13 becomes the new normal or returns to his 15:46 average.
