Perry has had numerous deep postseason runs in recent years, and Tampa Bay hopes he can continue that recent trend. The 40-year-old Perry has remained effective in his 21st NHL season, scoring 28 points (11G/ 17A) in 50 games with Los Angeles.
Perry missed a game last week for personal reasons and will miss another on Wednesday. The 40-year-old Perry is having a great season in Los Angeles, with 23 points (10G / 13A) in 37 games. He's been extra productive lately, with eight points (3G / 5A) in his last seven games.
The Kings announced that there is an illness in Perry's family and he will not play on Wednesday against the San Jose Sharks. The 40-year-old Perry has 21 points (9G / 12A) in 35 games this season and was amid a hot stretch, with six points (2G / 4A) in his last five games.
Perry underwent knee surgery in September and has been sidelined for nearly six weeks. He’s been skating with the team over the past week and was a full participant in Monday’s practice, ready to make his season debut on Tuesday against the St. Louis Blues. The Kings are struggling early in the 2025-26 season, off to a 1-3-2 start, and hope Perry's veteran presence can give them a boost.
Perry underwent knee surgery in September and has been sidelined for nearly six weeks. His original recovery timeline was 6-to-8 weeks, and it appears he’s trending toward the shorter end. He’s been skating with the team over the past week and was a full participant in Monday’s practice. While it’s unclear if he’ll make his season debut on Tuesday, it looks like his return is right around the corner.
Perry has built a reputation in the latter portion of his career, making the Stanley Cup Finals in five of his previous six seasons, and will join the Los Angeles Kings on a bonus-heavy one-year deal. The 40-year-old Perry scored 30 points (19G / 11A) in 81 games with the Oilers last season and was an integral part in their postseason run, scoring 14 points (10G / 4A) in 22 games. The Kings have not won a playoff series since winning the Stanley Cup in 2014 and will hope that Perry can help them change that trend.
Derek Ryan will be a healthy scratch on Tuesday against the Boston Bruins, allowing Perry to return to the lineup after not playing their previous game. The 39-year-old Perry is averaging 11:25 time-on-ice, recording 12 points (6G / 6A) and 16 hits in 38 games this season.
After failing to win a Stanley Cup after reaching the finals for the fifth time in his career, Corey Perry is going to run it back with Edmonton after signing a one-year deal worth $1,400,000 AAV. The 39-year-old is entering his 20th NHL season after putting up 12 goals and 22 points in 54 games with Chicago and Edmonton in 2023-24.
Perry was a healthy scratch for Game 2 on Monday as he was replaced by Warren Foegele but is expected to draw back into the OIlers' lineup for Game 3 on Thursday. The Oilers have not yet announced who the 39-year-old will replace in Edmonton's lineup. Through 14 playoff games played, he has no goals, one assist, 11 SOG, eight PIMs and a -3 plus/minus while averaging just 11:03 TOI/GP.
Perry was banged up in Game 5 but will be fine for a potential series-clinching Game 6 vs. the Stars. Perry has one assist, one shot and three hits in two games during this series.
Perry has been a healthy scratch for Edmonton's previous five games but is expected to draw back into the lineup on Wednesday for Game 4 as he replaces Warren Foegele. The 39-year-old was acquired mid-season by Edmonton but has yet to pick up a playoff point in 10 games played this postseason.
Perry hasn't played a game since his contract was terminated by the Chicago Blackhawks in late November. Before having his contract terminated, Perry was amid a somewhat resurgent start to the season, scoring nine points (4G / 5A) in 16 games. It is unlikely that Perry will continue his 0.56 point-per-game pace with the Oilers, as he is expected to skate on the third line with Dylan Holloway and Ryan McLeod.
