Matthew Peca News
Peca was recalled under emergency conditions and is expected to make his Blues debut.

Peca has 78 career NHL games under his belt, playing previously for the Lightning, Canadiens and Senators. The 28-year-old has 10 goals and seven assists in 19 AHL games this season.

The Senators have signed Matthew Peca to a one-year, two-way contract.

Peca has been a fringe NHLer for a few years now but only played 14 games with Montreal and Ottawa in 2020. He spent most of the season in Laval (AHL) where he had just 13 points (4G / 9A) in 34 games. The hard-working, industrious winger will likely start 2021 in the AHL but would be a candidate to get promoted to the Senators' fourth line when injuries hit.

The Senators have acquired Matthew Peca from the Canadiens for Aaron Luchuk and a 2020 seventh-round pick.

Originally a seventh-round pick of the Lightning in 2011, Peca has 17 points in 64 career NHL games, spread across four different seasons. The 26-year-old failed to register a point in the five games he played for the Habs this season and had just four goals and nine assists in 34 games with Laval (AHL).

Peca will miss six weeks with a knee injury.

Peca suffered a strange-looking injury against Pittsburgh on Tuesday. He got tangled up in the neutral zone with Evgeni Malkin and Malkin ended up on top of Peca and bent his knee awkwardly. The recently recalled winger will miss at least a month and a half.

Peca (lower-body) is questionable to play Wednesday.

Peca was forced to leave Tuesday's game in Pittsburgh with a lower-body injury and may not play vs. the Senators. The fact that the Canadiens recalled Ryan Poehling from Laval (AHL) this morning, suggests that Peca won't be available.
