Status report
The Senators did not hold a morning skate. … Perron will return after missing 11 games because of health emergencies before and after the birth of his daughter, Elizabeth, on Oct. 27. ... Kochetkov was a limited participant at the morning skate; the goalie is likely to play against the St. Louis Blues on Sunday. … Andersen, a goalie who has not played since Oct. 26, will be out "way longer" than week to week and could need surgery, Carolina coach Rod Brind'Amour said. ... Jarvis, a forward who has missed two games, was placed on injured reserve Saturday. ... Perets was recalled from Chicago of the American Hockey League on Friday.
