Rotowire
Perry had a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Canadiens.
Last season, Perry went to the Stanley Cup Final as a member of the Canadiens, only to fall to Tampa Bay. Now a member of the Lightning, Perry helped deliver another painful blow to the Canadiens, tying the score at four goals apiece with just 20 seconds left in the third period. After Perry's seventh goal of the season tied it up, Ondrej Palat won it for Tampa Bay in the first minute of overtime.

Lightning's Corey Perry: Posts helper Tuesday
Rotowire
Perry managed an assist, two hits and two PIM in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Golden Knights.
Perry helped out on a Pierre-Edouard Bellemare goal in the second period. The assist snapped Perry's three-game point drought. The 36-year-old winger has been more productive than expected this year, collecting 12 points, 63 shots on net, 30 hits, 21 PIM and a plus-3 rating in 30 contests. He's done that mainly in a third-line role for a Lightning team that's seen a lot of turnover in the bottom six.

Lightning's Corey Perry: Three points in big win
Rotowire
Perry scored two goals, one on the power play, and added an assist in Sunday's 7-1 win over the Flyers.
He scored what proved to be the game-winning goal, staking the Bolts to a 2-0 lead midway through the first period, then wrapped up the scoring on the man advantage in the third. Perry had a rough start to his Tampa tenure with only one assist through his first 16 games, but since then, the veteran forward has caught fire with five goals and eight points in the last eight contests.

Lightning's Corey Perry: Delivers assist
Rotowire
Perry registered an assist and two shots on goal in Friday's 3-0 win over the Kraken.
Perry set up Pierre-Edouard Bellemare for the opening goal just 2:52 into the game. The 36-year-old Perry is on a modest three-game point streak (one goal, two helpers) after registering just one helper in the first 16 contests of the season. More involvement on the power play should lead to a boost in scoring eventually, but Perry hasn't done enough to win over most fantasy managers yet this year.

Lightning's Corey Perry: Gets first goal for Bolts
Rotowire
Perry scored a goal on three shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Flyers.
Perry was snakebit for much of the first month of the season, but he finally deposited a goal on an assist from Steven Stamkos. The 36-year-old Perry has three points, 33 shots on net, 21 hits, 15 PIM and a minus-3 rating in 18 contests so far. He'll continue to play in a bottom-six role -- he doesn't offer as much as he used to on offense, but he can be steady on a checking line.

Lightning's Corey Perry: Hasn't caught a break
Rotowire
Perry has one assist in 12 games this season.
He hasn't put up points, but he has been a strong on-ice and locker room presence for the Bolts. Perry, Ross Colton and Patrick Maroon might not produce much, but they form what has been perhaps the team's most consistent line. They just haven't caught any offensive breaks. Perry's pace will pick up, but he's unlikely to offer much fantasy value this season.

Lightning's Corey Perry: Not a fit on top line
Rotowire
Perry has no points and a minus-5 rating in four games with the Lightning this season.
Perry had looked like a natural fit in Tampa in the preseason, skating at times with Steven Stamkos and scoring several goals. Now, he seems slow and an ill fit. Perry started the team's last game in Nikita Kucherov's spot on the first line, but the experiment failed badly. In five minutes together, he, Ondrej Palat and Brayden Point recorded a miserable 15.38 percent Corsi For percentage and were the Bolts' weakest forward line by a wide margin. Perry is in the twilight of his career and neither the Bolts nor fantasy managers should expect this former star to be a scorer.

Lightning's Corey Perry: Joins Stanley Cup champs
Rotowire
Perry inked a two-year, $2 million contract with the Lightning on Thursday, Kevin Weekes of ESPN reports
After losing to Tampa Bay in back-to-back Stanley Cup Finals while with the Stars and Habs, it appears Perry has decided to link up with the Bolts in their pursuit of a three-peat. The 36-year-old veteran figures to slot into a bottom-six role but should still be capable of producing 25-30 points if he can play a full 82-game season.
Perry scored a goal on two shots in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Lightning in Game 3.
Perry struck at 15:58 of the third period to cut the Canadiens' deficit to two goals, but Blake Coleman responded with an empty-net tally 50 seconds later. The 36-year-old Perry has racked up 10 points, 27 shots on net, 23 hits and 19 PIM in 20 playoff contests. He's served as an effective depth scorer, although his goal Friday was his first since Game 3 in the second round versus the Jets.

Rotowire
Perry was assessed 12 minutes in penalties in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to the Lightning in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final.

Rotowire
Perry had an assist, one shot on goal, one hit and one blocked shot in Montreal's 5-3 win over Winnipeg in Game 1 on Wednesday.

He's been an effective depth option on the fourth line, and his net-front role on the second power-play unit could lead to a boost in offense.
