Perry failed to register a point for the eighth-straight game in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

Not only has Perry gone pointless, but he has also racked up a minus-6 rating and only 13 shots on goal as the Ducks have gone 2-6 during that stretch. The 33-year-old has played in 17 games due to a knee injury delaying his season debut but has only managed four points. While Perry is still penciled in on the first line, he only skates around 15 minutes per contest.

Perry scored his second goal of the year in a 4-0 win over the Wild on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Perry has three points in his last two games, reforming his chemistry with Ryan Getzlaf on the Ducks' top line. The 33-year-old winger can still provide a late-season boost to fantasy rosters.

Perry recorded an assist in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

Perry picked up his first point of 2018-19 in a losing effort, assisting on Ryan Getzlaf's goal midway through the second period. The longtime Duck, playing in just his third game this season, finished a minus-2.

Perry (knee) collected four shots on goal in his season debut Saturday, which ended up as a 9-3 loss to Winnipeg.

EDGE Analysis

Perry recorded 16:29 of ice time, including 48 seconds on the power play. On top of his four wrist shots that met opposing goalie Connor Hellebuyck, the veteran missed wide on a pair of attempts. Even though he didn't score, this should be viewed as a successful return from knee surgery for Perry, who managed to turn in an even rating in the plus-minus column despite the lopsided outcome.

Perry (knee) is ready for his season debut Saturday against host Winnipeg, Eric Stephens of The Athletic reports. Per the NHL's official media site, he is officially off injured reserve.

EDGE Analysis

Ducks teammate Rickard Rakell suggested the team doesn't really have anything to lose by putting Perry back on the top line in his first game back. Perry recorded 17 goals and 32 assists over 71 games for the Ducks last season, but Anaheim has experienced a myriad of injuries, and the result has been an increased reliance on rookies such as Troy Terry and Max Jones -- although both of those players are currently back in the minors with AHL San Diego. Perry could be a sneaky DFS play since not everyone will be aware that he's back in tow. We're talking about a perennial power-play contributor with a career average of 0.80 points per game, so give him a long look on Saturday's 13-game offering.

Perry (knee) returned to practice Tuesday, marking the first step in his recovery from an injury he sustained ahead of a preseason game, Elliott Teaford of the Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Perry still doesn't have a timeline for his return, but the veteran forward seems to have a positive outlook on the situation. "It's been four months," he said. "It's a work in progress. I have no expectations, just going out and doing the best I can do." Perry has accumulated 766 points (366 goals, 400 assists) since his NHL career began with the "Mighty Ducks of Anaheim" in 2005. Nowadays, the Ducks have unleashed a crop of rookies to try to hold down the fort -- it's been a struggle with the Western Conference club owning a minus-29 goal differential through 50 games.

Perry (knee) is listed on injured reserve, per the NHL's official media site.

EDGE Analysis

It's just one game, but rookie Maxime Comtois drew into the Wednesday's season-opening lineup as a reinforcement option with several Ducks forwards injured, including Perry, who is expected to miss five months of action.

Perry is expected to be sidelined for five months after undergoing knee surgery to repair meniscus and MCL injuries Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Perry was a late scratch from Monday's preseason matchup with Arizona due to an undisclosed injury, which was the first indication that he may be in danger of missing some time. However, at that point there was no reason to believe he'd be sidelined long term. If everything goes according to plan with his recovery, there will only be approximately 25 games remaining on the schedule when Perry's ready to return, so he should be avoided entirely in redraft leagues. With Perry no longer in the picture, Ondrej Kase now has a clear path to a permanent spot in Anaheim's top six.

Perry is minus-3 without any points through two games this preseason.

EDGE Analysis

It's an extremely limited sample size in the preseason, but Perry's value had already dipped substantially after his 17-goal and 32-assist output from last season put him below the 50-point mark for the first time since the lockout-shortened 2012-13 campaign. A perennial power-play contributor, Perry still projects for top-line duty, but burgeoning net-crashing winger Ondrej Kase could cut into his chances.

Perry compiled 17 goals, 49 points and 168 shots on goal in 71 games during 2017-18.

EDGE Analysis

Perry did miss 11 games with a knee injury he suffered in December, but this was the first non-lockout season since 2006-07 that he missed the 50-point mark. It was also his second straight season failing to post 30 goals, which is something he's done six times in his career. What Perry has lost in goals has been filled by dishing out helpers to talented linemate Rickard Rakell, who scored a career-high 34 goals at 24 years old.
