from Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun,

Perreault's four-goal game was the first in Jets 2.0 history and just the third in franchise history, with Ilya Kovalchuk providing the last one as a member of the Atlanta Thrashers, on Nov. 11 of 2005 against the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Perreault opened the scoring at 7:24, then extended the lead four minutes later with a power-play goal that came on a quick wrister.

Perreault's third goal of the game required a lengthy look from the off-ice officials, who determined the Jets' versatile forward had indeed deflected home a point shot by Toby Enstrom at 15:23 of the second period.

Once the goal was finally announced during a stoppage in play, the ice was littered with hats as Perreault became just the second player in Jets 2.0 history to score three times in a game.

In case you've forgotten, Bryan Little, on Dec. 5 against the Colorado Avalanche, is the other.

But Perreault wasn't done there, jamming in a rebound after Michael Frolik was stopped on a breakaway at 16:32 of the second period.

Perreault nearly scored a fifth during the third period and the crowd showed their appreciation on several occasions.

“That was awesome. I got chills,” said Perreault. “I almost couldn't believe it.”
