Been lots of talk about Cole Perfetti as he looks to secure the role of second line centre with the Jets.

This evening in Winnipeg late in the 2nd period he took a blindside hit by the Flames Martin Pospisil which resulted in the Calgary player being ejected from the game.

Here was the hit:

Interestingly these two have a past history:

Jets bench boss Rick Bowness was asked for an update following the 3-2 shootout loss. After calling it a cheap shot and saying the refs got it right he indicated:

“He will be re-evaluated in the morning”.

So the update will have to come on Thursday.

As per Connor Hrabchak of The Hockey Writers there was further clarity from Jets PR after Rick Bowness spoke indicating that Perfetti was pulled for precautionary reasons and that he is not in concussion protocol.

Working hard on a daily basis to provide the latest Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose news for our readers and listeners. I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
