After his first 5 pro seasons with Washington Capitals‘ organization, center Mathieu Perreault(24) was traded to Anaheim Ducks to help make space and fit its roster under the salary cap.
He started in the team’s system with minor league affiliate Hershey Bears and won consecutive Calder Cup Championships in 2009 and 2010.
The somewhat small-ish 5’10” 185 lbs. forward showed a knack for the net. In 166 AHL games he scored 38 goals and 97 assists in regular season play and added another 12 tallies and 21 helpers in 51 postseason contests. He also has an outrageous combined +62 rating.
He appeared in a decent amount of NHL games in his 2nd and 3rd seasons but became a regular in the league in the last two years.
His totals in the show are also good at 35 goals and 40 assists in 163 games and is a highly accountable +20 plus/minus.
The 25-year old was absolutely outstanding in three years of junior hockey with Acadie-Bathurst Titan putting together 93 goals and 195 assists in 194 games with an almost nutty +81 on ice.
Since the trade to the Ducks, he’s storming out of the gate in 2013/2014 with a pair of goals and 3 assists in 4 games and a +3.
