Jacob Perreault (born April 15, 2002) is a Canadian professional ice hockey winger for the Laval Rocket of the American Hockey League (AHL) while under contract to the Montreal Canadiens of the National Hockey League (NHL). He was selected in the first round, 27th overall, by the Anaheim Ducks in the 2020 NHL entry draft.[1]
Playing career
[edit]On November 6, 2020, Perreault was signed by the Anaheim Ducks to a three-year, entry-level contract.[2] While playing primarily for the Ducks' American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate San Diego Gulls the next two seasons, he made his National Hockey League (NHL) debut on January 8, 2022 in a 4–1 loss versus the New York Rangers.[3]
On March 7, 2024, he was traded to the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for forward Jan Myšák.[4] He was assigned to Montreal's AHL affiliate, the Laval Rocket, after the trade.[5]
Perreault was again assigned to Laval for the beginning of the 2024–25 AHL season.[6] However, due to a nagging injury, Perreault would be reassigned to the Trois-Rivières Lions, the Canadiens' ECHL affiliate, on October 23, 2024 for conditioning purposes.[7][8] After appearing in five games with the Lions, he would be recalled to Laval on November 6.[9]
Personal life
[edit]Perreault was born on April 15, 2002, in Montreal.[10] His father, Yanic, is a former professional ice hockey centre who played a total of fourteen NHL seasons with the Los Angeles Kings, Toronto Maple Leafs, Montreal Canadiens, Nashville Predators, Phoenix Coyotes, and Chicago Blackhawks and was a member of the Canadiens at the time of his birth.[11] Growing up, Perreault and his siblings Jeremy, Liliane and Gabe all played ice hockey and worked on their shot in their basement.[12]
