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 skate on the Canadiens' third line and top power-play unit during Wednesday's contest. He's picked up three points through seven games this campaign.

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.

EDGE Analysis

Perry will play in Saturday's road game against the Senators. The veteran forward has enjoyed modest success so far, recording three points through six games.

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.

Perry posted an assist, two shots on goal and a pair of hits in Monday's 6-2 win over the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Perry has taken over a third-line role with Joel Armia sidelined by a concussion. It's been no problem for the 35-year-old Perry, who has a goal and two assists in four games since entering the lineup. The truculent winger has added three hits, seven shots and four PIM. Expect Perry to stay in the lineup until Armia is ready to return, although head coach Claude Julien could be inclined to find room for Perry if he keeps performing well.

Perry had a power-play assist and a blocked shot over 12:34 of ice time in Thursday's 4-2 win over Calgary.

EDGE Analysis

Perry was called up from the taxi squad to skate right wing on the third line, replacing the injured Joel Armia (concussion) for a second straight game. Armia is out indefinitely, and Perry is line to fill the absence. In two games, Perry has a goal and an assist.

The Canadiens reassigned Perry to their taxi squad Tuesday, Arpon Basu of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Perry skated on Montreal's third line during Tuesday's morning skate, so this may just be a temporary move. The 35-year-old winger made his Habs debut Saturday against Vancouver, scoring a goal while firing four shots on net in 15:19 of ice time.
