Watched every BC game because of Hagens, and Perreault has been incredibly creative. Leonard has hit a half-dozen posts and was snake-bitten until last night, so Perreault easily could have notched 2+ points every game. His clapper at the buzzer against the NTDP was like Brett Hull — huuuge windup and top corner.
Perreault IMO is a top-10 overall prospect in all of hockey. He may also be the best pure passer, which is something I didn’t expect two years ago. Thing is, BC’s early slate has been brutal - @ No. 4 MSU x 2, U18 NTDP, and No. 14 WMU last night. Next week it’s two games at No. 12 St. Cloud State. He’s doing it against tough teams and without Smith.
Fortescue has been solid as well and is taking more chances with the puck. He’s been a minute-eater and used on the PK with outstanding success (BC PK is perfect on the season IIRC).
Henricks was on the third line for WMU and made a nice power move but was otherwise safe and nondescript. He’s a younger freshman and Broncos are deep. They should be a tournament team with that elite goaltending.
