Jets' Perreault continues torrid run with 2-point night
The 2016-17 campaign has been a resurgent one for the Winnipeg Jets' offense, with Mark Scheifele continuing his ascent and Patrik Laine establishing himself among the game's next great snipers.
But the club's depth hasn't been half bad either. Mathieu Perreault continued to add to that bolstered depth scoring on Tuesday night, coming up with a goal and an assist during Winnipeg's 3-2 win over the Philadelphia Flyers.
The 29-year-old's line rolled over the Flyers as mates Scheifele and Blake Wheeler added a combined six points as well, giving the line an impressive eight points on the night.

The multi-point night was Perreault's second in as many games, as he tallied two assists during the Jets' recent win over the Minnesota Wild as well.
In fact, Perreault has been racking up points for over a month, dating back to an overtime loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Feb. 16.
After netting an assist in that game, Perreault put points on the board in each of the subsequent six contests - his longest point streak of the season by a mile.
With his two-point effort against the Flyers, Perreault now has 16 points through his past 14 games - a welcome improvement, as the formerly struggling veteran is set to play the first of a four-year extension next season.
