Pearson signed a professional tryout agreement with the Golden Knights on Tuesday. Pearson spent last season with the Canadiens, racking up 13 points in 54 contests. He missed a large chunk of time with an upper-body injury and was also a healthy scratch down the stretch. Injuries have taken significant portions of his last three seasons, but he's healthy and could push for a bottom-six role with the Golden Knights, who are currently expected to lean on young forwards in those spots.

Pearson scored the game-winning goal on his only shot in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Coyotes. He also had a hit. Pearson received a pass from Jordan Harris then wheeled pass a flat-footed Liam O'Brien for the game-winner early in the third period. The strike was Pearson's fifth goal (first GWG) and first since Dec. 4. In between, the fourth-line forward missed 19 games with an upper-body injury.

Pearson had an assist, four shots on net and two penalty minutes over 12:50 of ice time in Thursday's 7-4 loss to the Rangers. For the second consecutive game, Montreal's second line combined to give the Canadiens the first lead of the game. Pearson worked a loose puck from behind the net to Josh Anderson, whose shot was stopped before Jake Evans deposited the rebound. The Habs' top line has been the team's most productive unit recently, so it's encouraging to see secondary scoring over the last two tilts. Pearson now has 10 points (four goals, six assists) over 35 games.

Pearson had an assist and one shot on net over 13:02 of ice time in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Ducks. Pearson worked a give-and-go with Jake Evans, who potted Montreal's first goal. The assist was Pearson's first point in seven games since returning from an upper-body injury. The 31-year-old forward has four goals, five assists and 52 shots over 34 games while averaging 13:26 TOI.

Pearson (upper body) will be activated off injured reserve and return to the lineup Tuesday versus the Senators. Pearson's expected to slot into a fourth-line role Tuesday following his 19-game absence. The 31-year-old forward has collected four goals and eight points through 27 contests this season.
