Cole Perfetti had a feeling the offence was going to come.
Earlier in the day, the Winnipeg Jets forward was talking about rounding out his game and finding ways to have an effect on the outcome even when he wasn’t producing points.
By the time the final buzzer had sounded, Perfetti had delivered his first career NHL hat trick in a 5-2 victory for the Jets over Utah Hockey Club on Friday night at Canada Life Centre.
Perfetti snapped a 14-game goal-less drought and is up to 10 goals for the season.
Jets winger Nikolaj Ehlers, who was a game-time decision after dealing with an illness and skipping the morning skate, had a goal and three assists to record his 500th NHL point.
Connor Hellebuyck made his 39th start of the season and made 17 saves to record his 30th victory of the campaign.
The Jets, who improved to 33-14-3, are back in action on Sunday against the Calgary Flames.
