EDGE Analysis
It was Perron's first multi-point game since Nov. 22. He has struggled to get into an offensive groove since he returned from injury Dec. 29. He has just four points (one goal, three assists_ in his last 16 games. Perron is pretty much droppable at this point, or benchable if you feel like you can wait to find out if this is a trend or just an isolated outburst.

Perron scored a power-play goal on two shots and added three hits in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Blackhawks.

It took 8:19 for the Blues to record a shot against Marc-Andre Fleury, but it was Perron's tally which opened the scoring. The winger had posted a single assist in his last 10 outings. The 33-year-old hasn't stayed afloat in the Blues' deep offense this season -- he's at nine goals, 22 points, 77 shots on net and 35 hits through 33 appearances.
