New York Rangers coach Mike Sullivan’s plan for promising rookie forward Gabe Perreault looks like it’s working out better than expected so far.
Before Saturday’s matinee against the Philadelphia Flyers at Madison Square Garden, Sullivan spelled out for the media how he would employ the 20-year-old, who’s in his second NHL stint of the season after being recalled from AHL Hartford. In his second game since returning, Perreault made his coach look prescient with what will work for the 23rd player taken in the 2023 NHL Draft going forward.
Perreault was a key contributor all game as the Rangers rallied from two goals down in the third period to stun the Flyers 5-4 in a shootout.
