Red Wings' David Perron: Slides pair of helpers
Rotowire
Perron notched two assists, four shots on goal, three hits and two PIM in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Golden Knights.
Perron helped out on third-period tallies by J.T. Compher (on the power play) and Shayne Gostisbehere. The pair of assists pushed Perron past the 20-assist mark. The 35-year-old winger is up to 34 points (14 on the power play), 113 shots on net, 81 hits, 45 PIM and a minus-11 rating through 58 appearances this season, playing mainly in a middle-six role.

Perron doubling up on the apples helped him reach the 30-point mark for the season, with the veteran's running total comprised of 12 goals and 18 assists. The Wings have shifted him down to the third line, but this is a team that has rattled off six straight wins and there's no sense in fixing what isn't broken.

Red Wings' David Perron: Brushes twine in commanding win
Rotowire
Perron scored in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Flames.

Fantasy managers should still be able to roster Perron at a fair price given that most of the attention in Detroit is centered around stars relatively new to the team, such as Patrick Kane and Alex DeBrincat.
