With Jake Evans (virus), Joel Armia (in Finland for family reasons) and Michael Pezzetta (suspension) out of the lineup, Mathieu Perreault will be in the lineup for the first time since March 29. Limited to 20 games this season, the veteran knows he doesn't have much time left in the big league.
It's going to be a tough summer for Perreault, who will have to make some tough decisions. He will be looking at his options, even playing in Europe, this summer with his family. With his children in school, it would be surprising if the old continent was an option.
