Head coach Peter Laviolette has a few words for how Gabe Perreault performed during his debut
Along with everything else, head coach Peter Laviolette issues a stunning statement on Perreault's performance, something not many fans expected from him.
Here's what Lavy had to say:
"I thought he was really good. You can see his game and the way he thinks the game out there. I thought he jumped in and looked good. I thought all four lines were really good. It was balanced, and we were able to roll them out there. They all contributed. I thought he played a solid game, jumping into a big situation like that. I'm sure the next one and the one after that, they'll be a little bit more natural for him, as opposed to the first one. But I thought he played really well."
