Perreault scored two goals and added an assist in Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Blue Jackets.
With the Rangers down 4-0 to begin the third period, Vladislav Gavrikov sparked a rally by scoring just 30 seconds into the frame. Perreault took it from there, stealing the puck in the Columbus zone and firing the puck past Elvis Merzlikins just 24 seconds later, then setting up Will Borgen for a tally before potting the tying goal himself with less than five minutes left in regulation. It was the best game of Perreault's young career, and with the Rangers in freefall and potentially set to sell off more veterans at the trade deadline, the 20-year-old winger will likely get a long look in a top-six role. Through his first 27 NHL games, he's delivered five goals and 11 points.
