Perron (back) is expected to be back in the lineup against Boston on Thursday, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports
Perron has been on the shelf since Nov. 23 against the Canucks, a stretch of 27 games on the sidelines due to his back injury. In limited action (nine games) this season, the veteran winger has yet to register a point while generating 25 shots, 15 hits and a minus-4 rating. Perron figures to step into the lineup for the injured Josh Norris (upper body).
