Perron scored a power-play goal and added three hits in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
Perron has gotten on the scoresheet in eight of 11 games in March. He's got five goals (two on the power play) and three assists in that span, though his last multi-point effort was Feb. 3 versus the Predators. The veteran winger's consistency is still admirable, and he's also playing with the Senators' trademark physicality as well. Perron has six goals, 12 points (five on the power play), 49 shots on net, 58 hits and a minus-4 rating through 31 appearances this season.

Perron scored a goal in Saturday's 4-2 win over Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
Perron tied the game 2-2 in the second period when he took a pass from Drake Batherson and wire the puck over Anthony Stolarz's glove from the left face-off dot. He has six points, including four goals, in his last eight games (10 shots). There has been lots of murmurs that at 36, Perron's game is slowing down. Right now, it looks like's starting to gel with new center, Dylan Cozens, so take a chance on him off the wire. The Sens are surging.

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.

EDGE Analysis

Perron figures to step into the lineup for the injured Josh Norris (upper body).

He could return as early as Tuesday against the Islanders.
