Fantasy Analysis
You'd expect a guy who posted an 18.4 shooting percentage in the regular season to fire away in the playoffs. But that hasn't happened; after launching five times in the first-round opener against San Jose, he has just six shots in the ensuing five postseason games. Expect the coaching staff to get after him to fire at the net more often and see if good things happen. (Updated 04/28/2012).

Matt Greene scored shorthanded late in the second period for the lead and Jonathan Quick was strong in net throughout as the Los Angeles Kings beat the St. Louis Blues 3-1 in the opener of a Western Conference semifinal series on Saturday night.
Perron remains the biggest question mark for the Blues entering the 2011-12 season. He never returned from a November concussion and his status is in limbo as we enter training camp. He was the BluesÂ’ scoring leader at the time of his injury and showing signs as a dangerous scorer (17.2 shooting percentage). The Blues have signed several veteran forwards as insurance, but are quick to point out we should not read anything into them relative to PerronÂ’s health. Without him, the team has few capable of filling his role; with him, they have a legitimate top-line scorer. (Updated 10/4/11)
