Perfetti's playoff debut comes at crunch time for Jets

Perfetti's playoff debut comes at crunch time for Jets

Cole Perfetti wore his usual hockey jersey rather than a cape, and suited up in the dressing room instead of a phone booth. All of which is to say he's no superhero, swooping in to save the day for the Winnipeg Jets. “Obviously, I've wanted to play in a 'Whiteout' for a while and now I'm getting the chance to do that in a huge game,” Perfetti said a few hours prior to puck drop in Game 5 between the Jets and Colorado Avalanche at Canada Life Centre. Head coach Rick Bowness threw up the bat signal with his group on the brink of elimination after losing three straight games by a combined score of 16-5.
