Overview

  • Perfetti landed awkwardly after finishing a check on Kevin Bahl late in the second period and did not return.
  • On the bench he tested his leg and showed visible discomfort before being held out for the rest of the game.
  • Arniel said the first glance "doesn't look great" and indicated further medical review will occur once the team is back home.
  • Any absence would be significant after Perfetti’s 82-game, 50-plus-point season in 2024–25 and with captain Adam Lowry and defenseman Dylan Samberg already out.
  • In the same game, defenseman Dylan DeMelo left after a stick to the neck, which Arniel called precautionary, with final roster decisions approaching.
