Perron registered a goal and an assist in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
Perron saved his best stretch of hockey for the tail end of the regular season, as he's averaging a point per game with three goals and six assists over the last nine contests. His two-point performance Saturday helped the Wings avoid being eliminated from playoff contention with two games remaining. Perron has 16 goals and 28 assists working against a minus-11 rating through 74 games. He's in danger of missing the 50-point mark for the first time in five years, although a six-game suspension contributed to his decline in offensive totals.

Perron recorded an assist to complement a season-high six shots on goal in Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
Perron put a great deal of pressure on former Red Wings goalie Alex Nedeljkovic, but the lone helper was all the veteran winger could muster as the Wings lost for the eighth time in 10 games. While Perron may be past his prime, the 17-year veteran still is providing a relatively safe floor in fantasy hockey, adding 13 goals, 22 assists and 13 power-play points through 62 games.

Perron notched two assists, four shots on goal, three hits and two PIM in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Perron helped out on third-period tallies by J.T. Compher (on the power play) and Shayne Gostisbehere. The pair of assists pushed Perron past the 20-assist mark. The 35-year-old winger is up to 34 points (14 on the power play), 113 shots on net, 81 hits, 45 PIM and a minus-11 rating through 58 appearances this season, playing mainly in a middle-six role.

Perron registered a pair of assists in Tuesday's 8-3 win over the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
Perron doubling up on the apples helped him reach the 30-point mark for the season, with the veteran's running total comprised of 12 goals and 18 assists. The Wings have shifted him down to the third line, but this is a team that has rattled off six straight wins and there's no sense in fixing what isn't broken.

Perron scored in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Perron supplied the fourth goal courtesy of a sweeping snapshot in the second period. After a slow start to the season, the 35-year-old is gaining steam in 2024. His latest run consists of three goals, five assists, and a pair of man-advantage points over the last month. Fantasy managers should still be able to roster Perron at a fair price given that most of the attention in Detroit is centered around stars relatively new to the team, such as Patrick Kane and Alex DeBrincat.

Perron scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in Tuesday's 8-4 loss to the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Perron is still generating offense at a strong rate, earning 12 points over 15 games since the start of January. The winger remains in a top-six role. He's at 11 goals, 26 points, 83 shots on net, 45 hits, 39 PIM and a minus-12 rating through 46 outings overall, but his recent play is a much more effective level for him to contribute in fantasy.

Perron delivered an assist in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Perron set up Lucas Raymond in the neutral zone and Raymond took care of the rest. It's been a decent month for Perron, as the veteran winger has recorded a point in seven of the past 11 games. The 35-year-old has just four multi-point efforts this season, but he's holding onto a No. 1 power-play role with half of his 24-point total taking place on the man advantage.

Perron recorded an assist and two hits in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
Perron has earned an assist in three of the last five games, and he has six points over his last seven outings. The winger is up to 19 points (nine goals, 10 assists), 66 shots on net, 30 hits, 35 PIM and a minus-8 rating through 37 contests this season. He's steady in a top-six role with a little physicality, so he should continue to have fantasy appeal.

Perron registered an assist in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Perron is having a down year by his standards, scoring nine times to go with nine more assists and a minus-8 rating through 36 games. However, the veteran has 10 power-play points to render him useful in deep leagues. The Wings are committed to keeping Perron involved, hence his current assignment as a top-line winger with a spot on the No. 1 man-advantage unit.

The winger is up to 17 points, 63 shots on net, 26 hits, 35 PIM and a minus-9 rating while seeing regular top-six usage through 34 outings overall.
