Rich Peverley News

Rich Peverley will not play tonight. Claude Julien said Peverley has a minor undisclosed injury. Peverley has not participated in the last three practices. Tonight will mark the first game Peverley will miss this season.

Look for Benoit Pouliot and Jordan Caron to both dress tonight. Peverley has three goals and seven points over 12 games this season.

Forward Rich Peverley today signed a three-year contract extension with Boston that will last through the end of 2014-15 season.

Peverley is a big part of the top two lines and should see time on the top line as the season progresses. Last season he scored four goals and seven points through 23 games which projects to 15 goals and 25 points -- totals he clearly will surpass this season. With two goals through the first three games, he certainly makes a serviceable fantasy hockey option.

Peverley moved up a line to RW the second unit. Last season he scored four goals and seven points over 23 games with the Bruins but broke out during the postseason. Look for him to step up to the top line if there are any injuries.
