Nabs helper in loss Perbix recorded an assist, two shots on goal and two PIM in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Panthers in Game 4.

Impact Perbix ended a seven-game point drought with the helper. The 26-year-old defenseman has played in all four playoff contests but has just two shots on net, a hit, two blocked shots and a minus-1 rating in a limited role. Injuries to forwards have forced the Lightning to regularly dress seven defensemen, which further limits Perbix's playing time.

Tallies goal Wednesday Perbix scored a goal and blocked two shots in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs.

Impact Perbix has two goals and three assists over his last 10 outings. The Lightning have mostly stuck to dressing seven defensemen lately, and Perbix has often been on the low end of the ice-time distribution, averaging 13:17 per game over his last 16 outings. The 26-year-old has earned 19 points, 62 shots on net, 66 blocked shots, 50 hits and a plus-8 rating through 70 appearances and has up to four games to achieve the 20-point mark for the third straight season.

Three-game point streak Perbix scored a goal Saturday in a 5-3 win over the Islanders.

Impact Perbix scored from the right circle off a loose puck in front at 7:31 of the first period. He's not a big offensive guy, but Perbix is quietly on a three-game, three-point scoring streak (one goal, two assists) and he has four points, including three assists, in his last five games. He doesn't deliver in secondary categories (61 blocks, 58 shots and 49 hits; 65 games), so he's a classic better on the ice than in the fantasy arena guy.

Gathers helper Perbix provided an assist and two blocked shots in Saturday's 6-4 loss to Utah.

Impact The helper snapped an 11-game point drought for Perbix. The 26-year-old has played in seven straight games since he was a healthy scratch twice earlier in March. Emil Lilleberg was out of the lineup Saturday, but Perbix and Darren Raddysh have also been sent to the press box on occasion. Perbix has limited fantasy appeal with just 15 points to go with 56 shots on net, 56 blocked shots, 46 hits and a plus-3 rating across 61 outings this season.

Ice time dropping Perbix's ice time dropped to 7:49 in Saturday's 3-1 win over Washington.

Impact The Bolts rolled a seven-man unit on the back end, and Perbix saw just 13 shifts. He managed two shots. Prior to the Four Nations break, he had a couple 18-plus minute games, and he has averaged 15:03 this season. Perbix has 14 points (four goals, 10 assists) in 54 games, but just four assists in his last 28 games. A night or two in the press box may be coming.

Snags assist in win Perbix notched an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Senators.

Impact Perbix snapped a seven-game slump with the helper on a Luke Glendening tally in the second period. The 26-year-old Perbix has handled a third-pairing role lately, but it's not one that comes with much offense. For the season, the blueliner is at 13 points, 48 shots on net, 45 blocked shots, 33 hits, 16 PIM and a plus-5 rating through 47 contests.

Hands out helper in shootout win Perbix notched an assist and three blocked shots in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over the Ducks.

Impact The assist ended Perbix's 12-game point drought. The 26-year-old remains in a third-pairing role, though he could be elevated to a more prominent spot if Erik Cernak (undisclosed) misses time after logging just one shift Thursday. Perbix has 11 points, 42 shots on net, 40 blocked shots, 28 hits and a plus-4 rating through 38 appearances this season, so he's not a particularly strong option for fantasy.

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.

DECEMBER 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

NOVEMBER 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

OCTOBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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, 2024 • 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, 2024 • 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.
