Corey Perry News

The Kings have signed Corey Perry to a one-year deal that could be worth $2 with bonuses.

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.

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 is expected to draw back into the Oilers' lineup for Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final on Thursday.

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 is expected to draw back into the Oilers' lineup for Game 4 on Wednesday vs. Dallas.

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 is expected to make his Oilers' debut Saturday vs. Nashville.

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.

Perry will remain away from the team for the "foreseeable future."

The Blackhawks have yet to say why Perry isn't with the team but that it was a team decision, not Perry's decision. The 38-year-old signed a one-year, $4 million contract in the offseason and had been enjoying a decent start to the season with four goals, five assists, 26 SOG, 12 PIMs and a -5 plus/minus in 16 games played.

Corey Perry will be a healthy scratch for a second straight game Friday vs. Toronto.

Perry was pacing for his best offensive totals in a half-decade with nine points (4G / 5A) in 16 games this season but will serve as a healthy scratch for the second consecutive game on Friday against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Perry's continued absence from the lineup is puzzling, given his strong start to the season and the news that Taylor Hall will miss the remainder of the 2023-24 campaign.
