Toffoli Injury Proved Best Thing For Winnipeg Jets

After replacing him in the lineup and scoring two goals and one assist last night against the Los Angeles Kings, Cole Perfetti proved that Tyler Toffoli's injury was the best thing for the Winnipeg Jets.

Newly acquired Jets center Tyler Toffoli has been rendered unavailable for practices and games. While unfortunate for this former Canadien, this left the door open for Cole Perfetti, who scored two goals and one assist against the Kings in last night's game.








Though not the only productive player on the team tonight, Cole Perfetti's second goal pushed the Winnipeg Jets over the edge, ultimately becoming game-winning against the Kings. This broke the team's six-game losing streak in a truly remarkable way.



After his success against the Kings last night, Jets head coach Rick Bowness praised Perfetti performance in a post-game interview. He suggests that we can expect to see more of him at the top of the roster sooner than later.



Cole Perfetti also had a chance to talk about the game himself. In this interview, he talks about how this successful time on the ice boosted his confidence in his ability to help his team again.



The Winnipeg Jets are currently eighth in the league overall. Their next game is against the Clagray Flames on Thursday.
