Perron will play on the top-line with Sidney Crosby in his Penguins debut.

There is no word on how all four lines will shakeout or who will come out of the lineup, but we do know that Perron will start his Penguins career on a line with Crosby. He leaves the dumpster fire in Edmonton to play with the best player in the World, not a bad deal for Perron. His fantasy value is obviously on the rise.

Perron will make his Penguins debut on Saturday vs. Montreal.

Perron, who was acquired from the Oilers on Friday, did not play last night vs. Tampa Bay but will play tonight vs. the Canadiens. Because of the back-to-back the Penguins did not have a morning skate, so there is no word on who Perron is going to play with tonight. You would have to think that they will ease him in and they could move him around between Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin to see where he fits best.

David Perron
The Penguins have acquired David Perron from the Oilers for a 2015 first round pick and Rob Klinkhammer.

The Penguins have battled injuries all season long, so they have shipped a draft pick to a rebuilding team for a top-6 forward. Perron had a career high-28 goals and 57 points last season, but has just 19 points (5G / 14A) in 38 games this season. His fantasy value is certainly on the rise now that he moves from the 27th ranked offence to the sixth best.

Anderson will start Friday vs. the Ducks.

Anderson stopped all 34 shots in the Senators’ 2-0 shutout win over the Devils on Wednesday. It was Anderson’s seventh win and third shutout of the season. He had been going through a rough patch, so Wednesday’s shutout should boost his confidence. Tonight he takes on a great Ducks team at home, where he is 4-2-2 with a 2.21 GAA and .933 SV%.

Anderson starts Wednesday vs. the Devils.

Anderson allowed four goals on 35 shots in the Senators loss to the Kings last Thursday. Robin Lehner got the last two starts, but it will be Anderson tonight in New Jersey. He has just one victory in his last eight starts (1-6-1) while posting a 3.27 GAA and .903 SV%. It has not been pretty for Andy, but he draws a strong matchup tonight.
