Perreault (eye) will be activated off injured reserve and return to action versus Colorado on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Perreault will get back on the ice following a 15-game absence due to his eye injury. In eye games prior to getting hurt, the center tallied three goals, one assist and 11 shots while averaging 11:28 of ice time. While Perreault figures to take on a fourth-line role at even strength, he should still see minutes with the No. 2 power-play unit, bolstering his fantasy value.

Perreault has undergone another surgical procedure on his eye, which has extended his recovery timetable by several weeks.
EDGE Analysis
Perreault will likely need to wait for the calendar to flip to December before making his return to the lineup. The 33-year-old pivot picked up three goals and four points through eight games before undergoing his first eye procedure.

Perreault (eye) was placed on injured reserve Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Perreault was already expected to be sidelined until mid-November, so his designation for injured reserve won't impact his recovery timeline. In eight games this year, the Quebec native has recorded three goals on 11 shots, one assist and seven hits while averaging 11:29 of ice time. Even with his absence, the center should be capable of challenging for the 30-point threshold for the first time since the 2018-19 campaign.

Perreault scored three goals on a team-leading six shots in Saturday's 6-1 win over Detroit. He also logged a plus-4 rating.
EDGE Analysis
Perreault's hat trick was of the natural variety and turned a 3-1 Montreal lead into a 6-1 rout and the team's first win of the season. The goals were also the first of the year for Perreault, who signed with the Canadiens after spending the previous seven seasons with Winnipeg. He snapped one from the left dot in transition to make it 4-1 midway through the second, banged home a loose puck just over two minutes later and put away an empty-netter late in the third. Perreault is now one-third of the way to matching the nine goals he scored 56 games for the Jets last season.

Perreault had an assist in 10:59 of ice time in Thursday's 5-1 loss to Buffalo.
EDGE Analysis
Perreault engaged in a puck battle behind the night, tipping it to Joel Armia, who circled the boards and found defenseman Chris Wideman on the back door for Montreal's lone goal. Other than that, there was little for the Canadiens to celebrate. Last year's Stanley Cup participants are 0-2 with just two goals scored heading into the home opener Saturday against the Rangers. The 33-year-old Perreault, who skates on the fourth line, has one assist, one shot and one hit while averaging just under 10 minutes per game.

Perreault signed a one-year, $950,000 deal with the Canadiens on Thursday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Perrault has found a new home after spending the last seven seasons in Winnipeg. The 33-year-old had put up six consecutive seasons of 30 points or more but has failed to register 20 in back-to-back campaigns. He'll look to have a resurgent year with a move back to his hometown team for his 13th year in the NHL.

Perreault registered an assist in Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Canadiens in Game 3.
EDGE Analysis
Perreault set up Adam Lowry's tally at 17:51 of the second period. The 33-year-old Perreault has put up two points, seven shots on net, 28 hits and a plus-1 rating through seven playoff contests, mainly in a bottom-six role with power-play time.
