Mathieu Perreault

Coach Maurice:  On Wheeler/Hellebuyck getting selected for the All-Star game.  Status of Lowry/Tanev.  Why is Mathieu Perreault “easy” to play with?  When is it like to the team when a guy like Perreault works so hard?  On today’s practice.  Getting a chance to watch Hawks/Wild face off.  Looking at the video of the 3rd period in Buffalo.  Did he have to say much about the 3rd to his players?  Hellebuyck starts?
