Mathieu Perreault has earned a spot in the Capitals opening night lineup. Perreault seems to have beaten out Marcus Johansson for the role and he will start the season on a line with Alexander Semin and Troy Brouwer. Perreault possesses significant talent and could be a nice sleeper in deep leagues if he garners ice time on a top scoring line.
