For Perlini, it’s his third goal of the season. The 22-year-old set career highs with 17 goals and 13 assists in 74 games last season with the Coyotes. He was acquired with forward Dylan Strome by Chicago a week ago in a swap for forward Nick Schmaltz. All three players are former first-round draft picks, with Strome the highest at No. 3 overall in 2015.
Strome had his first multi-point game of the season with a goal and an assist in his Blackhawks debut in the team’s 8-3 loss to the Golden Knights on Nov. 27 in Chicago.
