    A pair of prospects looking for a change of scenery have switched hands on Thursday, with the Montreal Canadiens acquiring forward Jacob Perreault from the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for forward Jan Mysak.

    Perreault, a Montreal, QC native, has tallied seven goals and added 11 assists, while serving 44 penalty minutes in 31 games with the San Diego Gulls in the American Hockey League this season.

    Since making his AHL debut in 2020-21, Perreault has registered 91 points (32G, 59A) in 161 appearances. The 21-year-old right winger played his first – and only – NHL game with the Ducks on Jan. 8, 2022 against the New York Rangers.

    Perreault was selected by the Ducks in the first round (27th overall) of the 2020 NHL Draft. He is the son of the former Canadiens player Yanic Perreault, who played in Montreal from 2001 to 2004.

    Mysak, 21, was selected in the second round of the 2020 NHL Entry Draft by the Canadiens. The Czech center has spent parts of three seasons with the AHL's Laval Rocket, putting up 31 points in 110 games.
