Scorekeepers adjusted the clock to 2.2 and the Jets went on to win in double overtime with a goal from captain Adam Lowry. The league rounds up, so the official scoresheet read 19:57 — the latest tying Game 7 goal in NHL history.
The Winnipeg Jets have a lot of noise around them the day before the 2025-26 regular season is set to begin. Cole Perfetti is out week-to-week with an ankle injury, per Winnipeg head coach Scott Arniel.
Winnipeg Jets forward Cole Perfetti is sidelined with an ankle sprain, listed as week-to-week just before the 2025-26 NHL season. The 23-year-old, who had a breakout 50-point season, is doubtful for the opener.
Perfetti is coming off a breakout season that saw him register career highs in games (82), assists (32) and points (50). The 23-year-old was pencilled in on the second line with Gustav Nyquist and Jonathan Toews and was also stepping into Nikolaj Ehlers spot on the top power play.
His play didn’t go unnoticed or unrewarded, either.
For the first time in his NHL career, the Jets right-shot winger from Whitby, Ont., played in all 82 regular-season games for the club. He also played in every one of the team’s 13 Stanley Cup playoff games. He was one of four players who reached number 95 in terms of total games played.
Perfetti is coming off a breakout season with the Jets with 50 points (18G, 32A) and now has the pleasure of lining up with a couple of grizzled veterans. “It's cool. It's nice to play with two guys that have been around for a long time, doing it at a high level, for a really long time,” said Perfetti.
The Jets look to build on Saturday's victory in tough matchup against Islanders on Canadian Thanksgiving, while preparing to counter the impact of rookie defenseman Matthew Schaefer.
The Jets announced that winger Cole Koepke was removed from a game against the New York Islanders with a lower-body injury. It’s unclear when the injury occurred, but before he left he did pick up his first point of the season with an assist on Morgan Barron’s goal to open the scoring.
