Perron scored a goal Thursday in a 4-2 loss to Toronto in Game 6.
Perron's shot from below the goal line in the second half of the third period banked in off of Anthony Stolarz's helmet. The goalie was out of position after a missed poke check. Perron had missed almost half of the season due to injury, but he looked great when the calendar flipped to the playoffs -- he had two goals and one assist in that span. He's signed through 2025-26, and he will provide the Sens with some solid secondary scoring as they work to improve their standing in 2025-26.

Senators' David Perron: Posts assist in Sunday's loss
Rotowire
Perron managed an assist and three hits in Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Maple Leafs in Game 1.
Perron snapped a three-game skid with the helper. He was limited to just two points over his last 10 regular-season outings, though he had 10 points in the 13 games before that. It was a challenging season overall for the veteran winger, as he was limited to 16 points in 43 regular-season appearances. Perron is in a top-six role to begin the postseason and should also be a factor on the power play.

Rotowire

Senators' David Perron: Lights lamp Sunday
Rotowire
Perron scored a goal in Sunday's 4-0 shutout win over Columbus.
Perron found the back of the net for Ottawa's third goal of the game. With Sunday's tally, Perron ended a five-game slump after putting together a 10-point run over the previous 13 contests. Overall, the 36-year-old winger has nine goals and 15 points in 39 appearances this season. Unless he can get back into the scoring run he experienced throughout March, there are likely better options on the waiver wire in fantasy for the remainder of Ottawa's regular season.

Senators' David Perron: Ten points in last 13 games
Rotowire
Perron scored a goal Thursday in a 4-3 win over Ottawa.
It was an emotional night for Perron, who was cheered loudly by Detroit fans after a tribute video honored his two seasons with the Red Wings. Perron has 10 points, including seven goals, in his last 13 games, which parallels a late-season surge last year. He had 12 points, including eight assists, across Detroit's final 11 games in 2023-24. Perron is a sneaky fantasy pickup right now.

Senators' David Perron: Strikes on power play in win
Rotowire
Perron scored a power-play goal and added three hits in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Devils.
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.

Senators' David Perron: Six points in last eight games
Rotowire
Perron scored a goal in Saturday's 4-2 win over Toronto.
Perron tied the game at 2-2 in the second period when he took a pass from Drake Batherson and wired the puck over Anthony Stolarz's glove from the left faceoff dot. Perron has six points, including four goals on 10 shots, in his last eight games. He has been clicking with newcomer Dylan Cozens, making Perron a worthy pickup off the waiver wire.
Perron scored a power-play goal in Monday's 2-1 win over the Red Wings.
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.

Senators' David Perron: Puts away goal
Rotowire
Perron scored a goal and added three hits in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blackhawks.
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.

Senators' David Perron: Nets game-winner
Rotowire
Perron scored a goal Saturday in a 5-3 win over San Jose.
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.

Senators' David Perron: Two-point effort in Nashville
Rotowire
Perron scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Monday's 5-2 win over the Predators.
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.

Senators' David Perron: Dishes helper
Rotowire
Perron registered a power-play assist, a minus-1 rating and three shots during Thursday's 5-4 overtime win against the Capitals.
Perron's helper on Ridly 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.

Senators' David Perron: Back in action after injury
Rotowire
Perron (back) had one shot and one hit in 11 minutes of ice time in Thursday's 2-0 loss to Boston.
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.
