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.
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.

Senators' David Perron: Adds goal in loss
Rotowire
Perron tallied a goal, put two shots on net and served two PIM in Saturday's 6-5 overtime loss to Montreal.
Perron's tally put the Senators up 4-3 late in the second period. 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.

Rotowire
Perron scored a goal, dished an assist, added two PIM and went plus-3 in Wednesday's 8-4 win over the Rangers.
Perron ended his six-game slump with the effort. He entered Wednesday with just one goal over 10 games since his last multi-point effort. The veteran winger is filling a bottom-six role but has also featured regularly on the power play, which has helped him stay productive. He's up nine goals, 23 points, 66 shots on net, 61 hits, 18 PIM and a plus-2 rating through 46 outings this season.

The 37-year-old winger is up to 21 points, 58 shots on net, 52 hits, 14 PIM and an even plus-minus rating across 39 appearances. Perron should continue to work in a middle-six role with power-play time.

The veteran winger's scoring surge has him up to 20 points, 48 shots on net, 45 hits and an even plus-minus rating through 35 appearances.

Rotowire
Perron scored two goals, one on the power play and the other the game-winner, in Saturday's 6-4 victory over Chicago.
With the score tied 3-3 to begin the third period, Perron got to work, wiring a couple shots from the slot past Arvid Soderblom in the first six minutes of the final frame. It was Perron's first multi-goal performance of the season, and while the veteran winger has only seven goals in 37 games on the season, five of them have come in the last 11 contests.

Rotowire
Perron scored a goal on one shot in a 4-0 win over Pittsburgh on Thursday.
Perron has notched five goals and 11 assists in 33 games this season, including five power-play points. At this stage of his career, the veteran winger may no longer be a 20-goal producer but should still be capable of generating mid-range fantasy value in a middle-six role for the Senators.

Rotowire

Senators' David Perron: Briefly ties game Friday
Rotowire
Perron scored a goal and added two hits in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Blues.
Perron's tally tied the game at 3-3 in the third period, but Matt Kessel gave the Blues the lead for good less than two minutes later. The goal ended a 17-game stretch without one for Perron, though he still had eight helpers in that span. The 37-year-old saw a season-low 10:40 of ice time Friday, and he'll likely see his minutes reduced now that Brady Tkachuk is healthy again. Perron has three goals, 11 points, 25 shots on net, 29 hits, eight PIM and a minus-2 rating through 24 appearances.

Senators' David Perron: Opens scoring in loss
Rotowire
Perron scored a power-play goal, added three hits and went minus-2 in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Islanders.
Perron has scored in each of the last two games, and both goals have been on the power play. He's added five shots on net, five hits and a minus-7 rating through six appearances. The 37-year-old winger is listed on the second line but has seen ice time under 13 minutes in four of his six outings, so he may not be as productive as his role would suggest this year.

Senators' David Perron: Tallies on power play
Rotowire
Perron scored a power-play goal on two shots in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over the Kraken.
Perron saw his ice time plummet to 10:25 despite him earning his first point of the season. The 37-year-old has added four shots on net, two hits and a minus-5 rating across five games. He had just 16 points in 43 regular-season outings in 2024-25 and has been in decline for a couple of years now, so it's possible he won't get his offense back on track, especially if he's confined to a depth role.
Perron scored a goal Thursday in a 4-2 loss to Toronto in Game 6.
Perron's shot from below the goal line in the second half of the third period banked in off of Anthony Stolarz's helmet. The goalie was out of position after a missed poke check. Perron had missed almost half of the season due to injury, but he looked great when the calendar flipped to the playoffs -- he had two goals and one assist in that span. He's signed through 2025-26, and he will provide the Sens with some solid secondary scoring as they work to improve their standing in 2025-26.

Rotowire

Senators' David Perron: Posts assist in Sunday's loss
Rotowire
Perron managed an assist and three hits in Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Maple Leafs in Game 1.
Perron snapped a three-game skid with the helper. He was limited to just two points over his last 10 regular-season outings, though he had 10 points in the 13 games before that. It was a challenging season overall for the veteran winger, as he was limited to 16 points in 43 regular-season appearances. Perron is in a top-six role to begin the postseason and should also be a factor on the power play.

Senators' David Perron: Lights lamp Sunday
Rotowire
Perron scored a goal in Sunday's 4-0 shutout win over Columbus.
Perron found the back of the net for Ottawa's third goal of the game. With Sunday's tally, Perron ended a five-game slump after putting together a 10-point run over the previous 13 contests. Overall, the 36-year-old winger has nine goals and 15 points in 39 appearances this season. Unless he can get back into the scoring run he experienced throughout March, there are likely better options on the waiver wire in fantasy for the remainder of Ottawa's regular season.

Senators' David Perron: Ten points in last 13 games
Rotowire
Perron scored a goal Thursday in a 4-3 win over Ottawa.
It was an emotional night for Perron, who was cheered loudly by Detroit fans after a tribute video honored his two seasons with the Red Wings. Perron has 10 points, including seven goals, in his last 13 games, which parallels a late-season surge last year. He had 12 points, including eight assists, across Detroit's final 11 games in 2023-24. Perron is a sneaky fantasy pickup right now.
