NHL Rink Wrap: Some hockey games to go with those trades

If you’re not a fan of his current team (often, sometimes intermittently, the Blues), David Perron can be one of those players who slips under the radar a bit. Despite being a bit of a journeyman, he just keeps scoring.

And his two-way impact isn’t too shabby, either.

Every now and then, David Perron produces at a level that can’t be ignored. He’s a fair choice for Saturday NHL player of the night, as Perron generated a hat trick and an assist. Remarkably, his four points weren’t enough for the Blues, though, as they fell to the Blue Jackets.

Following that four-point surge, Perron now sits at 40 points in 47 games this season. The 33-year-old continued one heck of a hot streak overall. Perron’s currently on a six-game goal and point streak (9G, 2A). He’s also generated at least one point in nine of his last 10 games.

While the Blues aren’t the most prominent contenders, their intriguing variety of offensive weapons could make them an upset threat if things come together. (Granted, that formula didn’t translate to a win on Saturday.)

Watch as David Perron collected the seventh hat trick of his career (six with the Blues):

Brock Nelson netted a hat trick as the Islanders handed the Stars a loss that could sting.

Go little (B)rock star.
