Perron extended his point streak to three games with a helper on a Jake Walman tally in the third period. Through six contests, Perron has a solid four points, 11 shots on net, eight hits, four PIM and a minus-2 rating.

The veteran winger got the puck in the low slot late in the second period with a defender draped all over him, and he still managed to get off a quick shot that eluded Joonas Korpisalo. Prior to Saturday, Perron had been one of the few Red Wings seeing regular power-play time who wasn't cashing in, but he now has two goals and three points in the last two games -- all with the man advantage.

EDGE Analysis

The goal stood as the game-winner, and it was Perron's first tally of the year. The 35-year-old winger sputtered out of the gate, dropping to the third line after beginning the year alongside Dylan Larkin. Perron has one goal, eight shots on net, six hits, four PIM and a minus-3 rating through four contests overall. With the Red Wings' offense clicking, he's likely to remain in the middle six for a while.

Perron will be replaced by Lucas Raymond on the top line for Saturday's home opener against the Lightning, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports, "We'll still flirt with that wing, but the added depth gives us some different looks," Red Wings coach Derek Lalonde said.

EDGE Analysis

The Wings will look to bounce back following a 4-3 season-opening loss to the Devils on Thursday. Based on this latest report, the line shuffling between Raymond and Perron -- who skated to a minus-2 rating without a point in his season debut -- is intended to create more chances for Dylan Larkin and Alex DeBrincat at even strength. Nonetheless, Perron retains plenty of value as a top-six contributor and is still a threat on the No. 1 power-play unit. He is fresh off a 56-point campaign with the Wings, which marked his first season in Detroit.

Perron concluded his first season with Detroit having deposited 24 goals, 32 assists and 22 power-play points through 82 games.

Red Wings GM Steve Yzerman spoke to the media Friday for an end-of-season address, highlighting the positive impact his veteran additions had on the Original Six franchise. "I really liked the veterans that we brought in this year," Yzerman said. "I liked their attitude and character. They helped our team on and off the ice. I'll continue to try to add those types of players to help us as we build a young team that compete for playoffs and Stanley Cups hopefully."
