David Perron - NHL News & Rumors

Nets first goal Perron scored a goal on six shots in Thursday's 8-3 loss to the Jets.

Impact Perron has filled a bottom-six role over the last five games. He got credit for a goal after a Thomas Harley shot glanced in off Perron's body. The veteran winger has added eight shots on net, seven hits and a minus-1 rating. His playing time will be fairly safe until Oskar Back (finger) returns.

Practicing Monday Perron (not injury related) was on the ice for Monday's practice session, Stars TV host Brien Rea reports.

Impact Perron could make his season debut against the Bruins on Tuesday, though the Stars could keep him out of the lineup a little longer to make sure he's up to game speed. In 49 regular-season games with the Senators last year, the veteran winger notched 10 goals and 15 assists, including eight power-play points.

Won't make season debut Saturday Perron (not injury related) won't participate in Saturday's game in Chicago, per Mike Heika of the Stars' official site.

Impact Perron hasn't met up with the team in Chicago after signing a one-year, $850,000 contract Thursday. After Saturday's tilt, the Stars are heading back home, which is probably when Perron will start working with his new teammates. The 38-year-old might end up making his debut Tuesday versus Boston. If that's the case, then Perron will likely serve in a bottom-six capacity.

Goals in back-to-back games Perron scored a goal Monday in a 4-3 overtime loss to Tampa Bay.

Impact Perron has scored in two straight games, but he has just three goals in 15 games since his arrival from Ottawa on March 5. He had previously played in Detroit from 2022-24 and was viewed as a veteran who could help get them to the postseason. The 37-year-old Perron's contract expires at the end of 2025-26. He may still have something in the tank -- he had 25 points in 49 games in Ottawa prior to the deal.

Shipped to Detroit Perron (groin) was traded to the Red Wings from the Senators on Thursday in exchange for a conditional 2026 fourth-round pick.

Impact Perron likely would have been squeezed out of the lineup once he recovers from groin surgery, so the Senators were able to find a deal for him. The 37-year-old is six weeks into a 5-7 week recovery timeline, so he could be available fairly soon. Perron figures to be a middle-six option for the Red Wings once healthy. He had 25 points in 49 contests this season prior to his absence.
