Grégory Beaud (Sport-Center) already reported earlier today, citing a Finnish source, 65 Jatkoaika, that Lausanne HC is close to signing the Russian forward for the remainder of the season. The club now confirmed his arrival.
Pereskokov played for Jukurit Mikkeli in the Liiga this season, the same team of Alexander Yakovenko before he signed with EHC Biel yesterday. Jukurit already confirmed today that they had dissolved their agreement with Pereskokov and that he will join another team for the remainder of the season.
.Jukurit is currently second-to-last in the standings, 20 points away from a playoff spot. The 26-year-old would be the fifth import-player in the roster of the Lions. This season, Pereskokov recorded 34 points in 46 games for Jukurit, leading the team in all categories (goals, assists, and points).
