Winnipeg Jets: Why Mathieu Perreault has Been so Sloppy

Mathieu Perreault quietly left the Winnipeg Jets bench during the third period against the Washington Capitals due to an undisclosed injury. Not only has this been a season of injuries causing the veteran forward to leave games, but his play hasn’t been as prominent as the last few seasons.

Perreault is usually leading the Jets attack, full on offense, and creativity, making whoever he’s playing with a better player. He can go up and down the lineup, whether it being the first line, or the third line. He quickly became one of the Winnipeg Jets easiest players to play with.
