Corey Perry News

Perry (knee) will be a game-time decision on Saturday.

The Ducks did not have a morning skate so there is no indication whether Perry will return to the lineup tonight or not. If Perry does not play, Devante Smith-Pelly should move back to the top-line. There should be an announcement when the team arrives at the rink at 6 PM ET, if not we will have to monitor his status during pre-game warmups at 7:30 PM ET.

Perry (knee) skated on Wednesday; could return next Monday vs. the Sharks.

Perry will miss the next two games, but it sounds like he could be back Monday. After Monday’s game, the Ducks have four games off for the Christmas break, so there is a chance that the Ducks will hold him out of that game and give him the extra four days rest.

Perry is out with a knee injury.

Perry left Friday’s game in the first period after suffering a knee injury and did not return. The Ducks confirmed this afternoon that he is out with no timetable for his return. He will be re-evaluated when the team returns to Anaheim. They have recalled Rickard Rakell from Norfolk (AHL).

Perry is out with a viral gland infection; he is undergoing testing and results are pending.

Perry, who has missed the last three games, was placed on IR on Sunday and it now sounds like he is going to miss a few more games with a viral infection. We will wait for official word from the Ducks after the testing results come in.

The Ducks have placed Corey Perry (flu) on injured reserve.

Perry will miss his third consecutive game when the Ducks take on Vancouver at Honda Center. He can be eligible to return for Wednesday's home game against the Kings. Perry has 11 goals to lead the Ducks, which also tie him with Rick Nash of the New York Rangers for the NHL lead. They placed Perry on IR to make room to call-up defenseman Mat Clark from Norfolk (AHL) to help fill holes on the blue line.

Perry (flu) is doubtful for the Ducks’ game on Sunday.

Perry has missed the last two games and was not at Ducks’ practice on Saturday. He is struggling with the flu and it does not seem likely that he will play tomorrow vs. Vancouver. After Sunday, the Ducks are off until Wednesday, so there is a good chance he will be back for that clash with the Kings.

The Ducks will be even deeper and stronger Friday, when former league MVP Corey Perry returns from his four-game suspension for elbowing Minnesota's Jason Zucker in the head on March 12.

It will be Perry's first game since signing an eight-year, $69 million extension. Perry has nine goals and 15 assists in 25 games this season.
