Perron scored a goal on five shots and added an assist in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Perron set up Torey Krug's first goal with the Blues in the third period. In the second, Perron forced a takeover and worked a give-and-go with Robert Thomas for what would be the game-winning tally. The goal was Perron's first of the season, and he's added two helpers in five outings. The 32-year-old winger has topped 60 points in two of the last three years, so there's plenty of offense to be had -- perhaps Saturday's outing will be the start of bigger surge.

Perron said Tuesday that he had sports hernia surgery during the offseason, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Perron has shown no ill effects during training camp, and he's expected to be at 100 percent when the Blues take the ice against the Avalanche on Jan. 13. The 32-year-old winger established chemistry with Ryan O'Reilly last season and rang up 25 goals -- his most since the 2013-14 season. The duo will be a fixture in the top six once again, at least until Vladimir Tarasenko (shoulder) returns.

Perron scored a power-play goal on three shots and added a pair of hits in Sunday's 2-1 loss to Colorado.
EDGE Analysis
Perron hammered a one-timer from the left faceoff circle to open the scoring with just over three minutes left in the first period. That was the extent of the offense from St. Louis for the entire night, but Perron continues to be one of the most consistently reliable scoring wingers in the NHL. The 32-year-old eclipsed the 20-goal mark in each of the last two seasons and has hit that mark five times as an NHLer.

Perron has 25 goals and 60 points in 71 games this season.
EDGE Analysis
If the 2019-20 NHL regular season continues at some point, Perron has a good chance at reaching his career bests in goals (28) and points (66). The 31-year-old winger recorded 166 shots on goal, his most since the 2014-15 season. Perron should continue to score at a consistent rate in the Blues' top six.
