Canadiens' Mathieu Perreault: On waiver wire
Perreault was placed on waivers by the Habs on Wednesday.
Perreault has struggled with injuries this season, in addition to being a periodic healthy scratch, so his impending demotion to the minors shouldn't come as a surprise. With Perreault likely headed to AHL Laval, it could be an indication Josh Anderson (lower body) will be ready to play versus Dallas on Thursday.

Perreault returned to the active lineup Saturday for the first time since Dec. 14. He did not have a fantasy-relevant statistic over 8:41 of ice time.
Perreault, who missed 22 games with a lower-body injury, was activated from injured reserve to replace Paul Byron (upper body) and skated on the fourth line.

Canadiens' Mathieu Perreault: Designated for injured reserve
Perreault (eye) was placed on injured reserve Monday.
Perreault was already expected to be sidelined until mid-November, so his designation for injured reserve won't impact his recovery timeline. In eight games this year, the Quebec native has recorded three goals on 11 shots, one assist and seven hits while averaging 11:29 of ice time. Even with his absence, the center should be capable of challenging for the 30-point threshold for the first time since the 2018-19 campaign.

Canadiens' Mathieu Perreault: Erupts for hat trick
Perreault scored three goals on a team-leading six shots in Saturday's 6-1 win over Detroit. He also logged a plus-4 rating.
Perreault's hat trick was of the natural variety and turned a 3-1 Montreal lead into a 6-1 rout and the team's first win of the season. The goals were also the first of the year for Perreault, who signed with the Canadiens after spending the previous seven seasons with Winnipeg. He snapped one from the left dot in transition to make it 4-1 midway through the second, banged home a loose puck just over two minutes later and put away an empty-netter late in the third. Perreault is now one-third of the way to matching the nine goals he scored in 56 games for the Jets last season.

Canadiens' Mathieu Perreault: Notches assist in loss
Perreault had an assist in 10:59 of ice time in Thursday's 5-1 loss to Buffalo.
Perreault engaged in a puck battle behind the night, tipping it to Joel Armia, who circled the boards and found defenseman Chris Wideman on the back door for Montreal's lone goal. Other than that, there was little for the Canadiens to celebrate. Last year's Stanley Cup participants are 0-2 with just two goals scored heading into the home opener Saturday against the Rangers. The 33-year-old Perreault, who skates on the fourth line, has one assist, one shot and one hit while averaging just under 10 minutes per game.

Perrault has found a new home after spending the last seven seasons in Winnipeg. The 33-year-old had put up six consecutive seasons of 30 points or more but has failed to register 20 in back-to-back campaigns. He'll look to have a resurgent year with a move back to his hometown team for his 13th year in the NHL.
