Perfetti tied it 1-1 32 seconds into the third period, one second after a Winnipeg power play expired. Perfetti moved up into the slot from below the goal line to receive a pass from Gabriel Vilardi and score under Hofer’s left pad with a backhand.
“It’s obviously nice (to score),” Perfetti said. “It feels good. You want to help the team in any way possible, and if that’s on the score sheet, that’s one way to do it. But it’s also there’s other aspects of the game that I’m focusing on. It’s definitely nice to get one there and get us going on the road and get us back in the game, but yeah, it would have been a lot better to come through (with) two points.”
Hofer made four saves late in the game after the Jets pulled Skinner for the extra skater to get his fourth win against his hometown team.
“Any game in our division, especially hometown team, it obviously adds a little bit more,” Hofer said. “It’s obviously fun.
“That was in the pre-scout that they go to the net hard and they’re hungry around there. It was obviously a key point, but I thought our ‘D’ did a good job boxing out and keeping them to the outside, and if there was a rebound, they didn’t get much, so it was good.”
