Perron scored a power-play goal in Monday's 2-1 win over the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

Perron has three goals and an assist over five games in March. It's already his most productive month of the campaign, though he hasn't been able to exceed seven outings in any month yet in what's been a challenging season for the 36-year-old winger. He's now at eight points, 44 shots on net, 41 hits and a minus-8 rating over 25 appearances. Perron should be able to keep a top-six role while his offense is hot, but the addition of Fabian Zetterlund from the Sharks gives the Senators a number of possibilities when constructing forward lines.

Perron scored a goal and added three hits in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Perron has scored twice over his last three contests, adding four shots on net and eight hits in that span. The 36-year-old winger's first season in Ottawa has been marred by absences, one for a personal matter and another due to a back injury, but he appears to be finding a rhythm now. He has six points, 42 shots, 39 hits and a minus-9 rating over 23 appearances. Perron still offers a little intrigue for fantasy as a top-six forward -- he just needs to be somewhat consistent down the stretch.

Perron scored a goal Saturday in a 5-3 win over San Jose.

EDGE Analysis

Perron hammered in a rebound at 8:31 of the third period. It stood as the winner. He missed a big chunk of this season due to a back injury, and he has struggled to find his offensive stride. Perron has just two goals on 40 shots and three assists in 21 games. He's also riding a minus-10 rating.

Perron scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Monday's 5-2 win over the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

After a rough start to his Ottawa tenure that saw the 36-year-old go scoreless in his first 12 games while missing most of the first four months of the season due to back trouble and an off-ice personal issue, Perron finally found the back of the net when he tapped home a feed from Brady Tkachuk late in the third period. All three of Perron's points on the campaign have come in his last three appearances, and a spot on the Sens' second power-play unit could give him some deep-league fantasy appeal if he can stay healthy.

Perron registered a power-play assist, a minus-1 rating and three shots during Thursday's 5-4 overtime win against the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

Perron's helper on Ridley Greig's opening goal is the first point of the season for the 36-year-old who has missed a whopping 38 games due to various issues. Perron is expected to generate offense more consistently on a second line with Josh Norris and Drake Batherson, but fantasy managers will likely want to wait for him to get some more games under his feet to shake the rust off.

Perron (back) had one shot and one hit in 11 minutes of ice time in Thursday's 2-0 loss to Boston.

EDGE Analysis

Perron had missed 27 games to the injury, and Thursday's match was his 10th game of the season. He remains without a point this season. The Sens were hoping for a lot more when they signed Perron in the offseason. He was coming off a 47-point campaign in Detroit and had missed only six games over the last two seasons. Perron may be able to catch some second-half magic, but we recommend watching his recovery closely before you pick him up. Back problems can flare up out of nowhere.

Perron (back) is expected to be back in the lineup against Boston on Thursday, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports

EDGE Analysis

Perron has been on the shelf since Nov. 23 against the Canucks, a stretch of 27 games on the sidelines due to his back injury. In limited action (nine games) this season, the veteran winger has yet to register a point while generating 25 shots, 15 hits and a minus-4 rating. Perron figures to step into the lineup for the injured Josh Norris (upper body).

Perron (back) will not return to the lineup this weekend, Claire Hanna of TSN reports Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Perron was practicing in a non-contact jersey Friday, so he is getting closer to a return. Perron has yet to pick up a point in nine NHL games this season and has missed 31 games thus far this season, ahead of weekend games versus Pittsburgh and Dallas. He could return as early as Tuesday against the Islanders.

Perron (back) skated with the Senators on Sunday, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.

EDGE Analysis

Perron hasn't appeared in a game since Nov. 23, though the veteran winger seems to be trending in the right direction. The 36-year-old Perron has yet to record a point in nine games with the Senators this season.

Perron (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Steve Lloyd of TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.

EDGE Analysis

Perron will miss his 15th straight game against Winnipeg on Saturday. The veteran winger has had at least 46 points in eight straight previous seasons, but that streak is definitely in doubt as he has yet to garner a point in nine appearances this season. It remains unclear when he will be ready to return, though he has resumed skating.
