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.

Set to undergo surgery Perron is expected to miss 5-7 weeks due to a sports hernia injury that will require surgery, Julian McKenzie of The Athletic reports Thursday.

Impact Head coach Travis Green said Thursday that Perron's injury has been bothering him for a while, and the 37-year-old will undergo a procedure ahead of the Olympic break. Perron had appeared in each of the Senators' first 49 games of the season, recording 10 goals, 15 assists, 64 hits, 22 PIM and 18 blocked shots while averaging 13:26 of ice time. While he's facing a lengthy recovery process, he could be ready to return around when the Senators resume play in late February.

Adds goal in loss Perron tallied a goal, put two shots on net and served two PIM in Saturday's 6-5 overtime loss to Montreal.

Impact Perron's tally put the Senators up 4-3 late in the second period. With the twine finder, he is up to 10 goals, 24 points, 68 shots on net and 61 hits through 47 outings this season. Following Saturday's goal, the 37-year-old winger reached the double-digit goal mark for the 17th time across his 19-year NHL career. He has goals in back-to-back games and is heating up from his role on Ottawa's fourth line. While the veteran winger has capped value in fantasy in limited minutes, he could provide streaming value in the interim during his hot stretch of scoring.
