The star prospect who finds a way to stick. The top-six piece drafted and developed and then entrenched in the lineup as a threat for years to come. The Chris Kreiders. The J.T. Millers, even if the Blueshirts\u2019 captain took a circuitous route.<\/p>\n<p>Obvious flashes of Perreault\u2019s potential have emerged, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2025\/12\/18\/sports\/gabe-perreault-scores-first-nhl-goal-to-give-rangers-jolt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">his Dec. 18 goal<\/a> in the first game of his current call-up. Obvious places for growth have, too \u2014 as his 17-points-in-20-games clip from AHL Hartford hasn\u2019t translated to the NHL yet. But Perreault\u2019s third call-up arrived with perhaps more runway than the first two, with Conor Sheary out for an extended stretch and the Rangers needing an offensive jolt.<\/p>\n<p>This has become the latest audition for Perreault, still just 20 years old and still with just 17 NHL games on his r\u00e9sum\u00e9 after Thursday night\u2019s matchup with the Sabres at the Garden. And he, just as any prospect, wants to make it impossible for the Rangers \u2014 in a critical month of determining the franchise\u2019s direction ahead of the trade deadline \u2014 to send him back down.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s kinda what everyone\u2019s goal is when they come up, is to stay,\u201d Perreault told The Post after the Rangers\u2019 morning skate Thursday. \u201cObviously, it\u2019s never really necessarily your choice, but I think it\u2019s everyone, whenever they get called up, I mean, you want to stay and stay here forever. I think that\u2019s everyone\u2019s dream.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For years, the Rangers have been searching for who they hope Gabe Perreault eventually becomes.
