Perry skated on the second power play unit during Tuesday's practice, Stu Cowan of the Montreal Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Perry, who joined his new teammates on ice for the first time Tuesday, subbed in for Josh Anderson on the second unit. Montreal head coach Claude Julien talked about Perry on Monday, telling the Montreal Gazette that Perry's size can be utilized as a net-front presence on the power play. "It doesn't matter where he is in his career, he's still really good at it," said Julien. Montreal had problems on the power play last season, ranking 17th with a 17.7 success rate, so they've made acquisitions, like Perry and Anderson, to help that unit.

Perry secured a one-year, $750,000 contract with Montreal on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Perry saw action in 57 games with the Stars last year in which he garnered five goals on 77 shots, 16 assists and 70 PIM. This will be Perry's 16th season in the NHL, having racked up 377 goals and 420 helpers in 1045 games, primarily with the Ducks. The two-time NHL All-Star and 2007 Stanley Cup champion figures to take on a bottom-six role with the Habs, making him a mid-range fantasy option at best.

Perry will be allowed to test free agency Friday, Matthew DeFranks of The Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
In 57 regular-season games this year, Perry tallied five goals and 16 assists, including seven points with the man advantage. The 34-year-old veteran could garner interest from a handful of NHL clubs ahead of the 2020-21 campaign, though it figures to be close to the $1.5 million he earned this year.
