Mathieu Perreault made his pro hockey debut tonight in the Hershey Bears’ opening playoff game, against Wilkes Barre — tough circumstances into which to be introduced to new teammates and a new league. The Bears lost to Wilkes Barre 2-1 in overtime. Chris Bourque had the lone Hershey tally. The Hershey newcomer started out on the foruth line but didn’t remain there.
Of Perreault this was the quote I got from a pal in the Giant Center press box:
“Great speed, great hands, great hockey sense.”

SEND HIM UP!!!
I was excited to see him on the ice tonight. One thing he does well is crash the net. He’s not afraid of contact and he works his tail off in front of the net and along the boards!
someone said he won 6 straight faceoffs last night. he played until the end on, I believe, the third line.
He will look good in a Caps uniform soon!
he still needs to get a little bigger. The caps don’t need another playmaking center. They need a scorer! and a big guy who gets in front of the net.
Perreault played with Giroux and Joudrey on the second line after he got moved up.
