Perron skated with Evgeni Malkin and Patric Hornqvist during Monday's practice, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports.

EDGE Analysis

Perron replaces Sergei Plotnikov, who dips down to the third line. Perron brings a talented shot to Malkin's line, so if he's motivated then he could stick with the second unit for an extended period of time. The problem is that he appears disinterested all too often. Regardless, he sees a fantasy bump if for no other reason than his new linemates.
