Perreault, 25, did not play in the third period. The team didn’t provide details on his condition after the game; he’s been a great addition via a late preseason trade, scoring nine points in 11 games so far.

Update: it sounds like Perreault might have hurt his left hand, at least according to Eric Stephens of the OC Register.
