Perry (knee) has been skating for about a week, John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio reports Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Perry still has hurdles to clear before being ready to play, but he seems to be progressing nicely. He was originally projected to be out 6-8 weeks after undergoing knee surgery Sept. 12. If that timetable holds, the more optimistic end of it would have Perry return around Oct. 25 in Nashville. He'll likely serve in a bottom-six capacity once he's ready.
