Playing style
In 2023, hockey analyst and former NHL player Colby Cohen praised Perrault's "remarkable offensive hockey IQ," saying that "His adept understanding of the opposing team's defensive spacing, coupled with his skill in identifying high-threat areas, has showcased his ability to be one or two steps ahead of the rest."[7] Although Perrault is not the strongest skater, which may have contributed to his falling to the 23rd pick of the draft, Boston College coach Greg Brown said that "His anticipation and thinking are at such a high level, you don't even notice. He works very hard, his skating will pick up. He's usually taking two steps in the right direction before anyone might know. It's certainly not a problem for him."[7]
Personal life
Perreault is the son of former Canadian professional ice hockey player Yanic Perreault. His older brother, Jacob, is also a professional ice hockey player. Despite being born in his father’s hometown of Sherbrooke, Quebec, Perreault was raised in Hinsdale, Illinois.[8]
