Perreault (concussion) was levelled by a blindside hit from Minnesota forward Kurtis Gabriel on Thursday night and had to be helped off the ice. He did not return, but is "progressing fine.".

EDGE Analysis

Perreault was coming off a concussion from last season and suited up for the first time Thursday. He tallied a goal and an assist before the hit; hopefully the hit won't be a big setback in his recovery. Perreault may be a better waiver pick than a draft selection, just because of the risk.
