Cole Perfetti's Historic Goal Gets T-Shirt, But Not for Himself
Cole Perfetti's last-second goal in Game 7 of the 2022 NHL playoffs against the St. Louis Blues has been immortalized in a commemorative T-shirt, but the young forward himself doesn't own one. The shirt, featuring Perfetti's first name, the time 0:1.6, and the phrase 'We Believe', has been spotted on fans but not on the player who scored the historic goal.
Perfetti, who played all 82 games in the 2021-22 season and recorded a career-best 50 points, will start the new season on a line with Jonathan Toews and Gustav Nyquist, and will see time on the first power-play unit. The 22-year-old worked on improving his explosiveness and speed during the off-season, building on his impressive performance last year.
Perfetti's goal, scored at 1.6 seconds remaining in the third period, was the latest tying goal in Game 7 in NHL history, according to the official scoresheet. Jets head coach Scott Arniel considers Perfetti a top-six forward and one of the best players on the team. While Perfetti's parents and grandparents might have received the T-shirt, the young player himself is still searching for his own keepsake of that memorable moment.
