Jets' Mathieu Perreault: Benefiting from elite linemates

Perreault collected two assists and four hits in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Leafs.

Analysis:

He's racked up six points in the last four games, taking full advantage of lining up with Mark Scheifele and Patrik Laine on the Jets' lethal second line. It's been an awful season for Perreault, but he's been a different player recently, including playing much more physically. Perreault has put up 17 hits in the last three games; before that, he was averaging just 1.2 hits per game. If that new dimension sticks, it'll obviously add to his fantasy value in leagues that count hits.
