Nick Perbix - NHL News & Rumors

Scores in Thursday's win Perbix scored a goal and went plus-2 in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Blues.

Impact Perbix is on a season-best three-game point streak, accumulating a goal and two assists in that span. He saw a larger role while the Lightning navigated a rough patch of injuries on defense, and he's likely to stay in the lineup regularly since J.J. Moser (lower body) is out for 8-10 weeks. Perbix has four goals, 10 points, 31 shots on net, 24 blocked shots, 22 hits and a plus-7 rating over 25 appearances. That said, the 26-year-old figures to play on the third pairing most of the time.

Notches helper in win Perbix recorded an assist in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Kraken.

Impact Perbix has been pressed into top-four duties amid a rash of injuries to the Lightning defense. The team was without Victor Hedman (lower body) and J.J. Moser (undisclosed) for this contest, so Perbix played on the second pairing, with his 21:54 of ice time being his most since Nov. 7 versus the Flyers. The 26-year-old is at eight points, 29 shots on net, 21 blocked shots, 20 hits and a plus-4 rating over 23 contests, Perbix has mostly been limited to third-pairing duties with no power-play time, so he has low upside in fantasy.

Puts away goal in win Perbix scored a goal in Thursday's 8-1 win over the Sharks.

Impact Perbix's was role was limited Thursday with the Lightning dressing seven defensemen. The 26-year-old has three points over his last five games, but that's unlikely to be the norm moving forward. Overall, the blueliner has three goals, four assists, 26 shots on net, 18 hits, 17 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 20 outings in a third-pairing role.

Scores, assists Monday Perbix recorded a goal, an assist, a plus-3 rating, four penalty minutes, two shots on goal and two hits in Monday's 8-2 win over the Avalanche.

Impact Perbix found the back of the net for the first time since Nov. 5 and delivered his first assist since Oct. 24, as he was one of the 10 skaters who recorded at least one point for the Lightning in this thumping win. Fantasy managers shouldn't be overly optimistic about this performance, however, as Perbix isn't expected to crack the scoresheet with any sort of consistency going forward. He's better suited to have impact in fantasy formats that reward stats such as hits and blocked shots.

First goal of season Perbix scored a goal in a 3-2 loss to the Blues on Tuesday.

Impact It was his first goal of the season. He skated in off the left wing and stuffed in his own rebound. Perbix is a steady defender on the ice, and his offense may be on a slight uptick - he has four points (one goal, three assists) in 10 games. But Perbix's contributions in secondary categories like hits (10) and blocks (six) are well off his 114/80 contributions in those categories in 2023-24. Keep an eye on him - he needs to go on a run to gain fantasy relevance.

Snags helper in loss Perbix produced an assist and two PIM in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Senators.

Impact Perbix was scratched in the Lightning's previous game, but he replaced Emil Lilleberg in the lineup Saturday. The 26-year-old Perbix has been limited to third-pairing minutes when he plays. He has one assist, one shot on goal, one hit, four blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating. His minimal usage and the potential to be scratched makes Perbix a non-factor for most fantasy formats.

Registers assist Perbix notched an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Bruins.

Impact Perbix has a helper in three of his last five contests. He assisted on a Brayden Point tally in the second period, which stood as the game-winner. Perbix is up to 23 points, 50 shots on net, 66 hits, 100 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating through 69 appearances, filling a bottom-four role with no power-play usage.

MARCH 28 • ROTOWIRE

First point in eight games Perbix put up an assist Saturday in a 5-3 win over the Panthers.

Impact It was his first point in eight games. Perbix has just four shots and one minor penalty in that span. On a more positive note, Perbix set a new career mark in points with 21 (two goals, 19 assists) in 65 games this season. He's not valuable in a fantasy setting at this point in his young career.

MARCH 17 • ROTOWIRE

First goal is game-winner Perbix scored the overtime winner and added an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 victory over the Kings.

Impact After helping to set up Brandon Hagel for the tying tally with less than five minutes left in regulation, Perbix got behind the Los Angeles defense and beat Cam Talbot with a backhand move for his first goal of the season. The 25-year-old blueliner has been a useful option in deep fantasy leagues of late, collecting five points in the last 10 games with 27 blocked shots, 12 hits and a plus-4 rating.

Snaps slump with assist Perbix provided an assist and blocked three shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Kraken.

Impact Perbix ended a seven-game point drought with the helper. The 25-year-old defenseman has occasionally seen top-pairing usage, but he was on the third pairing in a seven-blueliner lineup Saturday, logging a mere 13:56 of ice time. With Victor Hedman (undisclosed) leaving the game, Perbix may get a boost in playing time if his teammate is out Tuesday versus the Canucks. Perbix has six assists, 40 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 27 appearances.

DECEMBER 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Snags helper versus Bruins Perbix registered an assist in Monday's 5-4 win over Boston.

Impact Over his last seven games, Perbix has put a mere two shots on net, which is no doubt a factor in why he has yet to score a goal this season. In 69 appearances during the previous campaign, the 25-year-old defender just reached the 20-point threshold, a mark that is likely Perbix's ceiling for 2023-24.

NOVEMBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Two-apple night Perbix picked up two assists Thursday in a 6-0 win over the Sharks.

Impact He had two secondary assists in the first six minutes of the game, first on a Brayden Point wrister at 1:41 and again on a Mikey Eyssimont tip-in at 6:03. Perbix played 18:51 and finished plus-3 with one hit. It was his third assist of the season (eight games). Perbix is a steady puckmover who won't get too many points, but he won't make too many mistakes, either.

Impact Perbix has tallied two assists through the first four games of the postseason while also recording four shots, eight hits and seven blocks. The blueliner has seen his minutes increase over the previous two games due to various injuries, including Erik Cernak (upper body) and Victor Hedman.

Scores goal in loss to Toronto Perbix netted a goal in Tampa Bay's 4-3 loss to Toronto on Tuesday.

Impact Perbix found the back of the net early in the second period to tie the contest at 2-2. That ended the 24-year-old rookie's 16-game scoring drought. He has five goals and 20 points in 68 contests this season.

APRIL 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Three helpers in Tuesday's win Perbix notched three assists while adding three shots, three hits, a blocked shot and a plus-3 rating in Tuesday's 6-1 win over the Ducks.

Impact It was a big performance for the rookie blueliner, who also dished three helpers in the final game before the All-Star break but has no other points in his last 10 games. Perbix's lack of power-play time limits his fantasy ceiling, but he continues to offer glimpses of what he could do in a bigger role. On the season, the 24-year-old has four goals and 18 points through 45 games.
