Additionally, head coach Mike Sullivan put Perreault on the second power-play unit with Alexis Lafreni\u00e8re, Vincent Trocheck, Taylor Raddysh and Braden Schneider. <\/p>\n
It was there that Perreault notched his first NHL point in the form of an assist on Lafreni\u00e8re\u2019s second-period power-play goal Monday night.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just think it makes us deeper,\u201d Sullivan said of Perreault\u2019s addition. \u201cIt gives us more balance. The thought process with Gabe, he\u2019s had a pretty decent start, especially most recently in Hartford. He\u2019s an offensive player that has really good instincts on that side of the puck. So our intention is to try to set him up for success so he can play to his strengths. So in other words, I don\u2019t know that it makes a whole lot of sense to call a player up like that and put him in a bottom six role.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think he\u2019s a guy that potentially could help us, if we can get the best version of him. So it\u2019s a great opportunity for him. We\u2019re excited to watch him.\u201d<\/p>\n

After missing a couple of games for the Wolf Pack this past weekend for what was described as an upper-body injury, Perreault said it was \u201cjust a precautionary thing.\u201d <\/p>\n
He assured he was good to go physically.<\/p>\n
Perreault became the fifth rookie to suit up for the Rangers this season, following Noah Laba, Matthew Robertson, Brennan Othmann and Jaroslav Chmelar.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want to try to put players in positions to succeed,\u201d Sullivan said. \u201cIdeally, we were trying to give Gabe some time down there to build and develop his game, physically and otherwise, in the hopes that when he does get called to New York, he has the ability to be successful. I obviously talked to Chris [Drury] after the game the other night [and] yesterday when the decision was made.<\/p>\n
\u201cA lot of it\u2019s based on Gabe\u2019s own performance down there, and what we think the needs of the Rangers are here at this particular point in time.\u201d<\/p>\n
Matt Rempe, who has been nursing an upper-body injury, was moved from injured reserve to long-term injured reserve on Monday.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
