Perreault (concussion) has been cleared to return against the Senators on Monday.

Analysis:

Perreault's return comes as somewhat of a surprise considering he missed the final 10 games of the 2015-16 season with a concussion, but evidently is suffering no ill effects from the hit that took him out of Thursday's contest. The center recorded his third consecutive 40-plus-point season last year despite failing to appear in all 82 games in any of those campaigns. If he can stay healthy, the 28-year-old could approach the 50-point mark, and combined with his role on the power play where he averaged 2:53 in ice time per night, Perreault should hold plenty of value in 2016-17.
