    Better late than never.

    Former Detroit Red Wings forward David Perron is heating up lately. Unfortunately, the season as a whole hasn’t been going his way.

    Bookmark The Hockey News Detroit Red Wings team site to stay connected to the latest news, game-day coverage, and player features. 

    Perron has played 28 games this season. During his first 12 games, he didn’t record a single point. He has been dealing with a few injuries this season and health concerns surrounding his newest child, born at the end of October 2024.

    Things are going great for Perron now, particularly on the ice.

    It's the final countdown.

    Over his last six games, he has one of the best stat lines on the Ottawa Senators. Perron has recorded three goals and two assists, for five points. He’s also recorded 11 hits while averaging 14:40 of ice time per game.

    The only Senators with more points in that time are Jake Sanderson, Drake Batherson, and Brady Tkachuk. 

    In Saturday’s game against the Toronto Maple Leafs, he skated on a line with Dylan Cousins and Batherson. Perron scored his fifth goal of the season at 12:16 of the second period to tie the game 2-2.

    The Senators defeated the Maple Leafs 4-2. Perron had one goal, two shots, and two hits in 14:04. He now has 10 points this season, averaging 13:38 of ice time.

    Perron is heating up at the right time, which should make Senators fans happy. The Senators hold the top Wild Card position. With the regulation win over Toronto, they are only four points behind them in the standings.

    This has made the Wild Card picture more competitive in the Eastern Conference. With the Senators pulling ahead, it’s a dogfight for the final playoff position. The Red Wings are behind the New York Rangers by four points but also have a game in hand.
