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

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.
