Indeed, the veteran did not participate in the team's last two games, and the Canadiens managed to secure two victories, delivering solid performances against Seattle and Colorado.
I tend to agree with Renaud's remarks, as Pearson is no longer the 40-point, 20-goal scorer he once was. We saw some promising flashes at the beginning of the season alongside Sean Monahan and Brendan Gallagher, but time is not on his side.
Nevertheless, he will have been appreciated in Montreal and in the NHL. A Stanley Cup winner with the Kings, Pearson is a respectable player and an equally remarkable man.
