Perry had a goal on four shots with a blocked shot and two-minute minor penalty over 15:19 of ice time in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Perry made his Montreal debut, filling in for the injured Joel Armia (concussion), and made an immediate impact. He led a two-on-one chance and tried to slip a pass to Jesperi Kotkaniemi, but the puck was deflected by a defenseman and caromed through Braden Holtby's pads. The Kotkaniemi line was the Canadiens' hottest of the three-game series, netting eight of 17 goals. The Canadiens expect Armia to be out a bit, so Perry could rejoin Kotkaniemi and Tyler Toffoli when the Habs play their home opener Thursday against Calgary.
