2025 Fantasy Outlook
After reaching the 20-point mark in each of his first two NHL campaigns, Perbix fell just short of that during the 2024-25 regular season, finishing with six goals and 19 points to go along with 20 PIM, 66 shots, 50 hits and 66 blocks. While that represents a mild decline in his production from his career high of 24 points in 2023-24, it’s arguably impressive that the drop wasn’t more substantial given that he averaged just 14:41 of ice time last season, down from 17:05 a year prior. The move from Tampa Bay to Nashville should do him some good. While Perbix won’t be one of the Predators’ main workhorses from the blue line, he should at least get more use than he saw with the Lightning, and that makes it likely for him to see a moderate uptick in points, hits and blocks in 2025-26.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Perbix has quickly become a dependable part of the Lightning's blue line over his first two NHL seasons. The 26-year-old generated 24 points, 80 hits and 114 blocked shots across 77 games last while averaging just 17:05 of ice time. With Mikhail Sergachev out of the picture, Perbix is locked into a full-time role in his third NHL season, but it's unlikely that he handles much power-play time as long as Victor Hedman, J.J. Moser and Ryan McDonagh are healthy.
The No. 169 overall pick by the Lightning in 2017, Perbix was a regular on the Tampa Bay blue line by the time his first full professional season came to an end. In 69 regular-season games, Perbix posted five goals, 20 points and a plus-11 rating. The Minnesota native played four years of college hockey at St. Cloud State and was a member of the US Olympic Team in Beijing, so he has played against high-level competition prior to his NHL arrival. Perbix is a nice find for the Lightning and will be a regular for the club in 2023-24, but there's zero fantasy implications here.
