Corey Perry Set To Re-Enter Oilers Lineup On Thursday
Edmonton Oilers right wing Corey Perry is on track to return to the lineup for Thursday's Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final against Florida. The veteran forward, who has made history by becoming the first player ever to feature in the Stanley Cup Final with five different teams, was a healthy scratch in Monday's Game 2 loss. Perry recorded one shot on goal, two penalty minutes, and a minus-one rating across 8:45 in Game 1 of the Final. He could play a larger role in Thursday's contest, depending on Evander Kane's (sports hernia) status.
Edmonton Oilers winger Corey Perry (shoulder) will play in Sunday's Game 6 against Dallas. He missed some time in Game 5 with an apparent shoulder injury, but the veteran will remain in the lineup as Edmonton attempts to book a place in the Stanley Cup Finals on Sunday. Perry, who is trying to make it to the finals for the fifth time in his career, has added much-needed experience to the Oilers lineup but hasn't provided much help on the offensive end. In 12 postseason appearances this year, Perry has registered zero goals and one assist.
Edmonton Oilers right wing Corey Perry is expected to make his team debut in Saturday's clash with Nashville. The veteran has practiced on the third line after inking a one-year, $775,700 contract on Monday. Perry should also feature on the second power-play unit as the Oilers go for a 16th consecutive win. Even at 38, Perry was effective for the Blackhawks early in the campaign before his contract was terminated for "unacceptable" behavior. He had four goals and five assists in 16 games with the team.
Veteran winger Corey Perry is set to sign a contract with the Edmonton Oilers until the end of the season. The 38-year-old has been a free agent since late November, when the Chicago Blackhawks terminated his contract for violating club policies. Perry joined the Blackhawks in the summer following a two-year sting with the Tampa Bay Lightning. He scored four goals for the team in 16 games and had nine points. Perry's best days are long gone, but he's still capable of providing some offense and will be an intriguing pickup for a streaking Oilers team that has just set a new NHL record for Canadian teams with 13 consecutive wins.
Free-agent forward Corey Perry and the Toronto Maple Leafs reportedly have a mutual interest in signing a contract. The veteran had his contract terminated after 16 games this season with the Chicago Blackhawks for what was referred to as conduct detrimental to the team. Perry became eligible to sign an NHL contract after meeting with commissioner Gary Bettman on Wednesday. The 2010-2011 Hart Trophy winner tallied four goals and nine points across his brief stint with the Blackhawks this season but has remained a productive bottom-six forward at the age of 38. He tallied 19 goals as recently as the 2021-22 season and also had 40 points in that campaign. He would likely spend time on the second power-play unit should he and the Maple Leafs agree to a deal.
The Chicago Blackhawks have officially terminated the contract of veteran forward Corey Perry after he was unclaimed off waivers over the last 24 hours. The Blackhawks confirmed Perry's absence was due to unacceptable behavior off of the ice but it's still unknown exactly what took place. Nonetheless, Perry is now a free agent free to sign with any NHL club. Additionally, he has the right to file a grievance with the National Hockey League Players' Association, a filing that would need to come within the next 60 days. The former Rocket Richard and Hart Trophy winner registered four goals and nine points across 16 games in his brief Blackhawks tenure.
Chicago Blackhawks forward Corey Perry was placed on unconditional waivers for purposes of terminating his contract, according to a statement released by the team on Tuesday. The team stated an internal investigation revealed Perry engaged in conduct that is unacceptable and in violation of both the terms of his contract and the Blackhawks' internal policies. The veteran has been away from the team since last appearing in a game on Nov. 19 against the Buffalo Sabres. Perry's agent released a statement stating the veteran left the team to attend to a personal matter. This marks the end of Perry's brief Blackhawks tenure that saw him tally four goals and nine points in 16 games along with 26 shots and a minus-six rating.
Corey Perry Signs One-Year, $4 Million Pact With Blackhawks
Chicago Blackhawks right wing Corey Perry has signed a $4 million deal for next season. Chicago acquired the rights to the veteran from Tampa Bay for a seventh-round draft pick on Thursday and was able to get him on a one-year contract before Perry hit unrestricted free agency. The deal will take Perry into his 19th NHL campaign. He averaged a career-low 0.31 points per game last season and shouldn't be seen as an attractive fantasy piece anymore. But the 38-year-old will definitely be a good mentor for the younger players on the team, along with Nick Foligno, who signed a similar deal with Chicago this week.
The Chicago Blackhawks acquired the rights to Corey Perry from the Tampa Bay Lightning for a 2024 seventh-round draft pick Thursday. The veteran winger is a pending unrestricted free agent, coming off a four-year, $8 million deal. Perry turned 38 in May and he's way past his best, but the former MVP has provided solid fourth-line production in recent seasons and will add grit and leadership to the Blackhawks if they get him signed. Perry has missed only one regular-season game across the past two campaigns, providing 31 goals and 34 assists.
Tampa Bay Lightning right wing Corey Perry made it two goals in two games in the Stanley Cup Playoffs first-round series against the Maple Leafs on Thursday. The veteran scored late in the third period to get to 53 career playoff goals. Among active skaters, only four players have notched more postseason goals. Perry kicked off the postseason with a three-point performance in Game 1 and is now sitting alone at the top of the Lightning's scoring charts. If Perry can also find the net in Saturday's Game 3, the 37-year-old would post only his third career goal streak of at least three games in the playoffs.
Tampa Bay Lightning right wing Corey Perry reached a special achievement in Monday's 6-2 win over Colorado, becoming the first player in NHL history to score for four different teams in the Stanley Cup Final. He grabbed the historic goal late in the second period on the power play. Tampa snapped a 0-for-16 drought with the man advantage. Perry now has six goals for this year's playoffs and nine points, which is a pretty decent haul for a bottom-six forward. Four of his goals have come on the power play as he typically skates with the top unit.
Corey Perry Has A Chance To Match His Career-High Goal Streak
Tampa Bay Lightning right wing Corey Perry has turned back the clock in the 2022 Stanley Cup Playoffs and has a chance to match his career-high postseason goal streak Monday against Florida. The 2011 MVP has scored in each of the first three games in the series against the Panthers. He set his record with a four-game streak all the way back in 2009. Perry also has an opportunity to tie Teemu Selanne and Brendan Shanahan for the longest playoff goal streak in NHL history by a player aged 37 or older. The veteran winger has tallied five goals in total during the postseason, which puts him tied for the team lead with Ross Colton.
Tampa Bay Lightning right wing Corey Perry continued his recent scoring surge with a three-point effort on Sunday against Philadelphia, finishing a 7-1 victory with two goals and one assist. The veteran winger is now averaging a point per game in his past eight outings after previously sitting on just one point for the campaign. The former MVP could be an interesting piece for teams in deep leagues, with Tampa having taken a beating from the injury bug. Perry will have a nice three-game slate this week, which includes meeting with Montreal and Ottawa, who are both struggling.
Tampa Bay Lightning right wing Corey Perry scored his second goal of the season in Sunday's 4-2 loss to Minnesota, extending his point streak to four games. The veteran winger has been a non-factor offensively for most of the season, but he's hit form at a good time, with the team battling injuries. Perry now boasts five points for the campaign with 36 shots. The injury bug struck again on Sunday, with Mathieu Joseph (undisclosed) leaving the game early, so Perry's role could grow even bigger soon.
Tampa Bay Lightning right wing Corey Perry helped the team to a 3-0 victory over the Kraken on Friday, helping Pierre-Edouard Bellemare to open the scoring 2:52 into the game. The veteran forward now sits on a three-game point streak. Perry scored his first Lightning goal in Tuesday's 4-0 win over Philadelphia and his streak includes a pair of assists. He's played a bit more lately due to a number of injuries, which has definitely helped the 36-year-old to gain momentum. However, Perry is stuck in the bottom six and it will be difficult for him to keep up his current run, so fantasy managers shouldn't get too excited.
Montreal Canadiens right wing Corey Perry had himself a two-goal game in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to Toronto. It marks his first multi-goal effort since March 2019. Perry is way past his best, but he's currently enjoying a fine run on the offensive end with six points in eight games. The former MVP has nine goals and 16 points for the season in 29 outings. The Canadiens complete their four-game week with a pair of outings against the Jets. They are at home for both games, which gives Perry another good opportunity to perform, as only five teams are allowing more shots on goal away from home this season.
Montreal Canadiens right wing Corey Perry will re-enter the lineup on Sunday against Ottawa after sitting out Saturday's 5-3 loss to Toronto. The former MVP scored in his Habs debut and had a nice start in Montreal with three points in his first four games, but the veteran winger has been slumping ever since. However, he returns in a nice matchup against a team that's allowing a league-high 4.11 goals per game, so Perry might be a sneaky DFS pick on Sunday. Artturi Lehkonen, who's pointless in 10 of his last 11 appearances, takes a seat to accommodate Perry.
