Associate coach Scott Arniel spoke ahead of the game against the Capitals and Jeff Hamilton of the Winnipeg Free Press is reporting that he indicated that:
“Cole Perfetti injured himself late in last night’s game against the Bruins and will be further evaluated in Winnipeg.”
Tough news for the Jets who already have a laundry list of injured players and for Cole Perfetti who is having himself a very good rookie campaign and is in the Calder discussion. He has six goals and 14 assists for 20 points in 33 games for Winnipeg.

We likely won’t get an update until the 27th when the team returns from Christmas holidays.
