Playing career
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' 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, Perreault 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, he was reassigned to the Trois-Rivières Lions, the Canadiens' ECHL affiliate, on October 23 for conditioning purposes.[7][8] After appearing in five games with the Lions, Perreault was recalled to Laval on November 6[9] and was again reassigned to Trois-Rivières one month later on December 6.[10] The same day, he was traded to the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for defenceman Noel Hoefenmayer.[11]
