Perry logged two hits over 11:37 of ice time in Saturday's 2-1 loss to Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
Perry was added to the active roster after Tomas Tatar was made a healthy scratch. Instead of taking Tatar's spot on the third line, like Perry had done when Joel Armia missed time due to a concussion, Artturi Lehkonen skated on Jesperi Kotkaniemi's line. Montreal doesn't play again until next Saturday's home game against Toronto, and it's unclear how long Tatar's banishment will last.

EDGE Analysis
Perry will work in a fourth-line role, while Tomas Tatar sits as a surprising healthy scratch. Perry has three points in eight appearances this year.

Perry was sent to the taxi squad and isn't expected to suit up for Thursday's tilt with Edmonton, Arpon Basu of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 35-year-old has suited up for the last eight games, including Wednesday's loss to Toronto, so Thursday could simply be a rest day. Perry has collected three points and nine hits during that span. He'll most likely return to the lineup for Saturday's rematch with the Maple Leafs.

Perry had two shots and two hits over 12:30 of ice time in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
The return of Joel Armia from a concussion prompted a slight tweak to the lines, moving Perry from right wing on the third line to the same spot on the fourth line and making Paul Byron a healthy inactive. The line shift resulted in less ice time for Perry but only at even strength. He was part of the top power-play unit (2:36) and is averaging 2:10 of ice time when opponents are short-handed.

Perry has been promoted to Montreal's active roster on an emergency basis and is expected to play Wednesday against the Maple Leafs, Eric Engels of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis

Perry is expected to play Wednesday against the Maple Leafs, Pat Hickey of the Montreal Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Perry, who was added to the taxi squad earlier this week, is expected to suit up for an eighth consecutive game. He's been filling in for the injured Joel Armia (concussion), but the two took turns on the third line during Tuesday's practice. However, when it came time for the first-unit power player to skate, it was Perry on the ice. That is a sign that Armia, who is nearing a return, will not be active Wednesday.

Perry was designated for the taxi squad Sunday, CBS Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Perry likely will be called up before Wednesday's game against the Maple Leafs. The 35-year-old winger has registered three points through the first seven games, and he adds a valued veteran presence to the rising Canadiens.

Perry was promoted from the taxi squad Friday, CBS Sports reports.

Perry has been assigned to Montreal's taxi squad, per CBS.
EDGE Analysis
Perry has appeared in six straight games for the Canadiens, picking up a goal and two assists over that span, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him back on the active roster ahead of Saturday's game against the Senators.
