Perron moves back up to the top line as Ken Hitchcock shifts the lines around. He has 14 goals and 35 points in 46 games.
Line Change
Perron will play with McDonald-Berglund
Perron slides down to the very familiar second line. The 23-year-old has been on an absolute tear as of late, scoring seven goals in his last eight games.
Line Change
David Perron-David Backes-T.J. Oshie
Perron moves back onto the top line for tonight's game. Through 27 games, the former 19th overall pick has six goals and 19 points. Playing with Backes and Oshie is probably his best chance at productivity.

Line Change
57-21-74
Perron moves down to the second line with most of the team healthy. In his first 20 games back from injury, he has three goals and 15 points. He should be just as productive with the second line.
Line Change
No ill effects here for @DP_57. He's got a burst on everyone. #stlblues
Great to hear that Perron is OK after his first game back. The sniper now has goals in consecutive games and should get a look in all formats.

Perron draws into the lineup for the first time since November 4th, 2010. As one of the feel good stories of the year you can only hope he gets back to full speed.
Line Change
Perron, who has missed 97 games due to a concussion suffered Nov. 4, 2010 vs. San Jose, will return to the lineup Saturday when the Blues host the Chicago Blackhawks at 7 p.m. at Scottrade Center.
Perron draws back into the lineup for the first time in over a year. He is expected to play with Patrik Berglund and Chris Stewart. Grab him now in case he continues where he left off.

Perron continues to progress but when he gets back into the lineup is anyone's guess. Despite rumors he may return to the lineup on Saturday, the decision is up to him.
There has been some thought that Perron could play this weekend but he has yet to give that indication to GM Doug Armstrong. Perron was also hit by the flu bug that recently made its way around the Blues dressing room.
Similar to Sidney Crosby, Perron will return to the lineup when he feels ready to get back into a game. Reports continue to be positive on the young sniper but how he produces is anyone's guess.
Line Change
It's purely a guess on @DP_57 being in lineup Saturday. But it makes sense ... couple more good practices, last line change at home, etc.
Might be time to make a speculative add of David Perron. The super-talented winger has been impressive during practice and could break out if fully healthy.
@DP_57 will not be making his return to the line up tonight. Closer but not there just yet. #blues and #flames tonight at 6:30 pregame
An earlier report from Sportsnet suggested Perron would get back into the lineup for the first time in over a year. It appears those reports were false but the winger is close to returning.
Looks like David Person is moving to stage 2. He's in gold jersey today.
Perron last played on November 4th, 2010 so his return has been very anticipated. Like Sidney Crosby, his status remains indefinite.
David Perron was not on the ice for the Blues' pregame skate today. He has been in recent pregame skates. #stlblues
Could be a setback or a scheduled doctor's appointment. Perron last played November 4th, 2010 against the San Jose Sharks.
Perron practicing, could be a few weeks.
Sounds like Perron received some good news and may return over the next month. Considering Sidney Crosby has been practicing since before preseason, it seems quite ambitious to be on such a truncated timeframe.
David Perron has been practicing with the Blues lately, but today was his first full practice on a non-game day. "Do you see the first drill?" Perron said. "I was brutal."
Perron will need some time to regain his timing after missing a full year.

Perron continues his road to recovery but is still a ways away from returning. The next step would be slowly introducing him to contact. However, practicing with the team for two consecutive days remains a welcome sign.
David Perron on the ice today for practice wearing a red no-contact jersey.
Perron skated with his teammates, not by himself, which is a very welcome sign for him. The next step would be slowly introducing him to contact. Considering he only skated 20 minutes today, his return should take a while.
