Prior to his time in Anaheim, he played parts of 3 seasons in Washington with the Capitals. He may be best known to Jets fans as a member of the Hershey Bears who won the Calder Cup against the Manitoba Moose.

Perreault spoke to the media earlier today. That interview, courtesy of TSN Radio 1290, is available here:
