23-Year-Old Left WingLW
Winnipeg Jets
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Perfetti has seen his production go up every year he’s played in the NHL, and after an 18-goal, 32-assist season, that didn’t change. Despite spending much of the season on the second power-play unit, Perfetti still recorded a career-high 15 points with the man advantage. Now entering the final season of a two-year bridge deal, this is a chance for the 23-year-old to perform well and cash in. With Winnipeg’s top line of Kyle Connor, Mark Scheifele and Gabriel Villardi all figuring to return, there might not be a path to a top-line role for Perfetti, but even if his role stays the same, he should continue his upward trajectory now knowing the rigors of an 82-game NHL season. However, if he can find his way on to the top power-play unit, Perfetti has the chance to capitalize on his potential and be at least a 60-point contributor in 2025-26. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a two-year, $6.5 million contract with the Jets in September of 2024.

November 9, 2025
Perfetti (ankle) will be activated from injured reserve ahead of his return to the lineup against Anaheim on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
After missing the first 14 games, Perfetti will make his season debut. He will occupy a top-six role and see time on the first power-play unit. The 23-year-old forward compiled 18 goals, 50 points, 143 shots on net, 45 blocked shots and 71 hits across 82 appearances during the 2024-25 regular season. Perfetti will replace Cole Koepke in the lineup against the Ducks on Sunday.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
Perfetti recorded 19 goals and 19 assists in 71 regular-season appearances last year. His 11-goal improvement from 2022-23 was spearheaded by a career-high 13.4 shooting percentage and an increase to 2.00 shots per game. Perfetti also had a great start to the year, supplying nine tallies and 19 points through his first 23 outings - though he registered just 10 goals and nine helpers across 48 appearances to conclude the campaign. Having said that, the departures of Tyler Toffoli and Sean Monahan via free agency in the summer should move Perfetti back into a top-six role in 2024-25. The 22-year-old Perfetti would benefit from better deployment, including a return to the first power-play combination. If his ice time increases and becomes a regular in the lineup again, he has the potential to be a breakout candidate this campaign.
An upper-body injury ended Perfetti's season in February, but he showed some promise with 30 points, 90 shots on goal and a plus-10 rating over 51 contests. He played much of the campaign in a middle-six role, but there's a chance that turns into more of a true top-six assignment in 2023-24. He was only a couple of weeks away from returning when the Jets were knocked out of the playoffs, so he should be fully healthy to start 2023-24, as long as he can avoid any further injuries. Getting onto the top line is unlikely with Kyle Connor around, but Perfetti has the talent to put up a 20-goal, 50-point campaign if he can be in the lineup for 70-plus games.
Perfetti made his long-awaited NHL debut a season ago, playing in 18 games for Winnipeg and posting two goals and seven points. He almost certainly would have been a regular for the Jets the rest of the way had an upper-body injury not ended his year in mid-February. The No. 10 overall selection in the 2020 draft, Perfetti is an easy top-six offensive talent. His fantasy value is entirely dependent on how he is deployed by new Winnipeg coach Rick Bowness. If Perfetti is in a top-six role and seeing significant time with the man advantage, he should be able to carve out standard league value. If he's a bottom-six guy, his value will be limited to keeper/dynasty formats in 2022-23.
