Perry scored a goal on two shots, added an assist and went plus-3 in Monday's 9-2 win over the Sharks.
This was Perry's first multi-point effort since Feb. 17. He has four points over his last six games, though Monday's effort is likely more of an anomaly than something to expect from the vet going forward. The 38-year-old winger remains in a bottom-six role, and he may be used sparingly once the playoffs begin. Perry has 22 points, 80 shots on net, 43 hits, 46 PIM and a minus-4 rating through 52 outings this season.

Oilers' Corey Perry: Opens scoring Friday
Rotowire
Perry scored a goal on six shots and went plus-3 in Friday's 6-2 win over the Avalanche.
Perry ended a six-game dry spell with his goal 1:52 into the contest. The veteran winger has been a bottom-six fixture for the Oilers, which has limited his scoring contributions in a top-heavy offense. For the season, Perry has 11 goals, 19 points, 75 shots on net, 38 hits and a minus-5 rating over 47 contests between the Oilers and the Blackhawks.

Rotowire
Perry scored a power-play goal on five shots and added two hits in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Maple Leafs.
Perry had been limited to one assist over his previous six outings. His last two goals have come on the power play, as he plays on the Oilers' second unit while holding down a middle-six role at even strength.

Oilers' Corey Perry: Earns 900th career point
Rotowire
Perry notched an assist in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Avalanche.
Perry picked up the secondary helper on Sam Carrick's third-period marker. That assist was Perry's 900th career point, an achievement he reached in his 1,294th game. The 38-year-old winger has been solid in a bottom-six role for the Oilers so far. He's at 17 points, 54 shots on net, 31 hits and a minus-5 rating over 37 contests between the Oilers and the Blackhawks this season.

Oilers' Corey Perry: Nets power-play marker
Rotowire
Perry scored a power-play goal on four shots in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Blue Jackets.
Perry has two goals over four games in March after posting five points across his 12 contests in February. The Oilers' trade-deadline shopping likely means Perry will remain on the third line going forward, which will limit his offense. He has nine goals, 16 points, 49 shots on net, 35 PIM and a minus-6 rating through 33 appearances between the Oilers and the Blackhawks this year.

Oilers' Corey Perry: Finds twine in win
Rotowire
Perry scored a goal and went plus-3 in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Penguins.
Perry's tally early in the second period ended up being the game-winner. He had gone five contests without a point prior to Sunday while playing in a bottom-six role. The 38-year-old winger has seen some top-six looks, but not with enough consistency to justify a fantasy roster spot. He's at eight goals, 15 points, 45 shots on net, 27 hits, 35 PIM and a minus-5 rating over 31 appearances between the Oilers and the Blackhawks this season.

Perry fought Parker Wotherspoon in the second period. In the third, Perry completed a three-goal comeback for the Oilers, tying the game at 4-4. The 38-year-old winger has four points and 16 PIM over his last four outings, providing both offense and irritation in a middle-six role. He's produced seven goals, 14 points, 28 PIM, 42 shots on net and 23 hits through 25 appearances between the Oilers and Blackhawks this season.

Oilers' Corey Perry: Two-point effort Saturday
Rotowire
Perry produced a goal and an assist in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Stars.
Both points came in a wild second period that featured all of the game's scoring, aside from Evan Bouchard's OT winner. It's Perry's first multi-point performance in seven games since joining the Oilers, but the 38-year-old winger is getting a look in a top-six role at even strength -- which means shifts with Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl that could lead to fantasy upside.

Oilers' Corey Perry: Grabs first goal with Oilers
Rotowire
Perry scored his first goal as an Oiler in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Blues.
Perry now has a goal and two points in his six-game run with Edmonton. He's got name-brand cachet, but is a middle-six forward with limited offensive upside until he starts to see more ice time or moves up the lineup. He is getting some time on Edmonton's second power-play unit, but it hasn't yet borne fruit.

Oilers' Corey Perry: Gets first point with new team
Rotowire
Perry supplied an assist, fired two shots on goal and went plus-2 in Friday's 5-3 win over the Ducks.
Perry was moved up to the second line in his third game with the Oilers, and he was able to get his first point on Evander Kane's goal at 9:11 of the second period. The 38-year-old Perry should remain a middle-six fixture at least until the Oilers trade for a forward with more scoring potential. The veteran has 10 points, 30 shots on net, 15 hits and a minus-3 rating through 19 appearances between the Oilers and the Blackhawks this season.

Rotowire
Perry signed a one-year, $775,000 contract with the Oilers on Monday.
Perry produced four goals, nine points, 26 shots on net, eight blocked shots and 11 hits in 16 games with Chicago this season prior to having his contract terminated in late November. The 38-year-old winger could slot in up and down the lineup for the Oilers, though he may start in a bottom-six role.

Corey Perry: Clears waivers
Rotowire
Perry cleared unconditional waivers Wednesday, resulting in the termination of his contract with the Blackhawks, Lance Hornby of The Toronto Sun reports.
Hornby notes Perry will have 60 days to file a grievance if he chooses. It remains unclear what alleged misconduct led to Perry's release by Chicago, but at this point it seems unlikely he'll play again in the NHL in 2023-24.

Corey Perry: Placed on unconditional waivers
Rotowire
Perry was placed on unconditional waivers by the Blackhawks for the purpose of terminating his contract Tuesday, Charlie Roumeliotis of NBC Sports Chicago reports. A corresponding statement released by the team said, "After an internal investigation, the Chicago Blackhawks have determined that Corey Perry has engaged in conduct that is unacceptable, and in violation of both the terms of his Standard Player's Contract and the Blackhawks' internal policies intended to promote professional and safe work environments. As such, Corey Perry has been placed on unconditional waivers. In the event Mr. Perry clears waivers, we intent to terminate his contract effective immediately."
The details of Perry's alleged misconduct have not been released by the team. The 38-year-old winger has played quite well this season, picking up four goals and nine points through 16 games, but it's hard to imagine another team claiming him off waivers after being cut loose by Chicago, particularly when taking his hefty $4 million salary this year into account.

Rotowire
General manager Kyle Davidson said Saturday that Perry will remain away from the team for the "foreseeable future," Mark Lazerus of The Athletic reports.
Davidson also said that the decision was the team's rather than Perry's. Perry has missed the last two games as Boris Katchouk has replaced him in the lineup. Perry has four goals and five assists in 16 appearances this season.

Blackhawks' Corey Perry: Remains out Friday
Rotowire
Perry, who didn't play Wednesday due to an "organizational decision," will also be kept out of the lineup for Friday's game versus Toronto, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
The Blackhawks remain quiet about the reason for Perry's continued absence. Coach Luke Richardson did suggest Friday that there might be an update soon, but for now, details are being "kept internal." Perry has four goals and nine points in 16 contests this season. In Perry's absence, Boris Katchouk drew into the lineup Wednesday and will likely dress again Friday.

Blackhawks' Corey Perry: Sits as healthy scratch
Rotowire
Perry was a healthy scratch Wednesday versus the Blue Jackets, with head coach Luke Richardson describing the situation as an "organizational decision," Charlie Roumeliotis of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
Perry was a surprise scratch before the game, and it appears it is not injury-related. The 38-year-old winger has nine points, 26 shots on net and 11 hits through 16 outings this season as one the Blackhawks' more reliable middle-six forwards, making the team's decision all the more puzzling.

Blackhawks' Corey Perry: Scores in defeat
Rotowire
Perry tallied a goal on three shots in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Lightning.
Perry tied the game 2-2 early in the third period vs. his former team, finishing a nifty passing play off an odd-man rush. It's the second goal in three games for Perry, who's now up to nine points (four goals, five assists) through his first 14 games with Chicago. The 38-year-old veteran has shown he can still provide some fantasy upside in a middle-six role while also averaging 3:56 of ice time on the Blackhawks' top power-play unit.

Blackhawks' Corey Perry: Off to great start this season
Rotowire
Perry scored a power-play goal in Thursday's 5-3 win over Tampa Bay.
It was his first game against the Lightning since they traded him to the Blackhawks last June. The goal was classic Perry -- he was parked in front of the net, looking for a tip, and he got it. He pushed the score to 5-2 at just 2:12 of the second. The 38-year-old former star is off to his best start in a long time, with three goals, eight points, 19 shots, one power-play goal and one game-winning goal in 12 games this season. Perry may provide you with decent short-term fantasy value off the wire.
