Pearson notched an assist and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Canadiens.
Pearson has gotten on the scoresheet in seven of his last eight games, posting five goals and four helpers in that span. The winger has been in a top-six role for much of the season, but his recent efforts are showing why head coach Bruce Boudreau trusts him in those positions. Pearson's at 28 points, 132 shots on net, 63 hits and a plus-6 rating through 54 contests.
