Gabe Perreault notches first NHL point in season debut on Rangers’ top…
As the Rangers picked up their first win at Madison Square Garden, Gabe Perreault made his season debut Monday night time against the Predators.
The Rangers recalled Perreault from Hartford for the first time this season on Sunday in the aftermath of the team’s seventh straight loss on dwelling ice.
Perreault had began to achieve some momentum for the Wolf Pack, posting a four-game aim streak and eight whole factors over that span.
“I think I’ve been playing well,” the 20-year-old said after morning skate on Monday. “I think it was really good for me to go down there [to Hartford], play a lot of minutes, work on little things I needed to work on. And, you know, hopefully it’ll translate.”
Perreault skated on the left wing of the Rangers top line next to Mika Zibanejad and J.T. Miller in the 6-3 win over Nashville.

Additionally, head coach Mike Sullivan put Perreault on the second power-play unit with Alexis Lafrenière, Vincent Trocheck, Taylor Raddysh and Braden Schneider.
It was there that Perreault notched his first NHL point in the type of an help on Lafrenière’s second-period power-play aim Monday night time.
“I just think it makes us deeper,” Sullivan said of Perreault’s addition. “It provides us more stability. The thought course of with Gabe, he’s had a reasonably respectable start, particularly most just lately in Hartford. He’s an offensive participant that has actually good instincts on that aspect of the puck. So our intention is to attempt to set him up for fulfillment so he can play to his strengths. So in other phrases, I don’t know that it makes an entire lot of sense to name a participant up like that and put him in a backside six position.
“I think he’s a guy that potentially could help us, if we can get the best version of him. So it’s a great opportunity for him. We’re excited to watch him.”

After lacking a few games for the Wolf Pack this past weekend for what was described as an upper-body injury, Perreault said it was “just a precautionary thing.”
He assured he was good to go bodily.
Perreault turned the fifth rookie to go well with up for the Rangers this season, following Noah Laba, Matthew Robertson, Brennan Othmann and Jaroslav Chmelar.
“We want to try to put players in positions to succeed,” Sullivan said. “Ideally, we had been attempting to present Gabe some time down there to build and develop his game, bodily and in any other case, in the hopes that when he does get called to New York, he has the ability to achieve success. I clearly talked to Chris [Drury] after the game the other night time [and] yesterday when the choice was made.
“A lot of it’s based on Gabe’s own performance down there, and what we think the needs of the Rangers are here at this particular point in time.”
Matt Rempe, who has been nursing an upper-body injury, was moved from injured reserve to long-term injured reserve on Monday.
Monday counted as the eighth straight game Rempe has missed since struggling an obvious injury in his fight with Sharks enforcer Ryan Reaves on Oct. 23.
On LTIR, Rempe is required to overlook no less than 10 games and 24 days.
Since the timeline is retroactive to the date of the injury, the earliest Rempe might return is after the Red Wings game Nov. 16.
