Mathieu Perreault seems to have earned his spot on Washington's opening roster. He earned praise from coach Bruce Boudreau following Sunday's preseason finale against Chicago as the team's best player at camp. "Played with energy every night and I think he was very similar last year but we'll sit down tomorrow and discuss all of this," said the Capitals bench boss. Perreault led the team in preseason scoring with five points (three goals, two assists) and he got the opportunity to play alongside Alex Ovechkin and Troy Brouwer on Sunday. However, where he will play if he makes the team is uncertain at this time.
