Overview
- Head coach Travis Green confirmed Thursday that Perron will be sidelined five to seven weeks following the procedure.
- The recovery window points to a possible Feb. 26 return at Detroit, with a later timeline extending into mid-March.
- Because the Winter Olympic break compresses Ottawa’s schedule, he is projected to miss roughly eight to 15 games.
- Perron has 10 goals and 25 points in 49 games this season, logging middle-six minutes with positive defensive impacts reported.
- He is a pending unrestricted free agent after signing a two-year, $8 million deal in 2024 and missed significant time last season, appearing in 43 games due to injuries and personal reasons.
