Top New York Rangers Prospect: Gabe Perreault earned NCAA's Honors
The New York Rangers have a great prospect in Hockey East, in the NCAA. Gabe Perreault, son of the face-off king in Chicago, Yanic has earned an honor in the league this week.
Perreaultearned "Hockey East Co-Player of the Week" honors when he scored three goals this week. Two of which were game-winning goals against St. Cloud State on Friday and Saturday.
Friday night, Perreault extended the Eagles lead to 2-0 by scoring a power-play goal at 5:22 of the second period, when he fired a laser of a shot under the cross bar. He iced the 4-1 win with an empty-net goal with four seconds remaining, and finished with three shots on goal and a plaus-1 rating.
Perreault has improved his offensive play this season. Last year it took 17 games for Perreault to score 5 goals, now the forward has five goals in six games with the Eagles.
After St. Cloud State failed to clear the defensive zone, teammate James Hagens forced a turnover and passed to Perreault who deked the goalie and scored a game-winning goal.
His point streak with that goal extended to six games, and Perreault has tied Hagens with 10 points for most on the Eagles this season.
Perreault is proving himself to be a great selection, with 1.67 points per game with Boston College.
When Stan Fischler approves of the prospect you know you got a real one.
. Writing for The Hockey News, veteran reporter Steve Zipay - who I happen to admire a great deal - says "Perreault is the top offensive force among Blueshirt prospects and he has tremendous hockey I.Q. and skill."
