Looks like Rick Bowness is having a heart-to-heart with Cole Perfetti, who seems to be sitting out again tonight. Bowness is really laying on the encouragement, giving Perfetti some pats on the shoulder and keeping the vibes positive. It's gotta be tough for the kid, no doubt about it.
Rick Bowness Offers Encouragement to Cole Perfetti Amidst Tough Times
Bowness has struggled to fit Perfetti into the lineup lately. He gave him a shot on the left side of the second line for the first eight games, but with Sean Monahan taking over the center role and Tyler Toffoli joining the team, it's been a bit of a juggle.
Perfetti's been seeing fewer minutes lately and getting matched up against some easier opponents �, facing off against the fourth liners and third pairing defenders. It's a change for him, especially since he's never played this many NHL games in a single season before. Rough waters to navigate, for sure.
