Oilers' Corey Perry: Goal, assist in Game 1 defeat
Rotowire
Perry recorded a goal, an assist and two hits in Monday's 6-5 loss to the Kings in Game 1.
Perry found the back of the net with his lone shot of the game and also showed physicality, although that can be expected considering all the postseason experience the 39-year-old has. Perry isn't likely to be among the go-to scoring options for Edmonton, but he did post solid numbers in the regular season. His 30 points (19 goals, 11 assists) across 81 appearances were his best output since the 2021-22 campaign, when he finished with 40 points in 82 games.

Perry scored an empty-net goal on four shots in Wednesday's 3-0 win over the Sharks.
Perry has earned five points, 19 PIM, 12 shots on net and a plus-7 rating over the last six games. He's been a valuable veteran for the Oilers to have during a late-season injury crisis, as he's stepped up into a larger role -- he led all Edmonton forwards with 17:37 of ice time Wednesday. The winger finished the regular season at 19 goals, 30 points, 100 shots on net, 61 PIM and a plus-12 rating across 81 appearances.

Rotowire
Perry scored a power-play goal on two shots in Friday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.
Perry snapped a seven-game goal drought at a great time, giving the Oilers a 3-2 lead 7:32 into the third period.

He should continue to be a regular with the man advantage until the Oilers get some of their forwards back in action.

Rotowire

Perry got on the scoresheet versus his former team, snapping a five-game point drought.

Oilers' Corey Perry: Produces two power-play points
Rotowire
Perry scored a goal and added an assist, both on the power play, in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Stars.
Perry set the Oilers on the comeback trail with a goal 9:30 into the third period. He also set up an Adam Henrique tally a few minutes later, but the rally ultimately fell short. Perry had not recorded a multi-point effort since Feb. 7 versus the Avalanche, and his helper Wednesday was his first since Jan. 23 against the Canucks. The 39-year-old winger is at 16 goals, 25 points, 82 shots on net, 40 PIM and a plus-6 rating through 70 appearances, mainly in a bottom-six role.

Oilers' Corey Perry: Converts on power play
Rotowire
Perry scored a power-play goal on two shots in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Rangers.
Perry got a look with the first power-play unit and cashed in at 19:17 of the first period. He's scored three times over eight games in March, and while he's trending up for now, he's mainly been limited to bottom-six usage for much of the season. The Oilers will continue to shuffle wingers at times when they need to spark the offense, as they did Sunday after scoring just six goals over the previous three contests. Perry has 15 goals, 23 points, 79 shots on net and 38 PIM across 66 appearances in 2024-25.

Oilers' Corey Perry: Deposits opening goal
Rotowire
Perry scored a goal and added two PIM in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Canadiens.
Perry has two goals over three games to begin March. He had the opening tally Thursday, scoring 9:34 into the contest on a feed from newcomer Max Jones. For now, Perry's fourth-line role isn't being threatened, but that could change once Trent Frederic (lower body) is able to make his Oilers debut. Perry is at 14 goals, eight assists, 72 shots on net, 36 PIM and a plus-12 rating through 61 appearances in 2024-25, matching his 54-game point total from 2023-24.

The 20-year NHL veteran has made the most of his ice time this year, surpassing his goal total from each of his past two seasons. He should continue to provide depth scoring for Edmonton while skating in a fourth-line role.

Oilers' Corey Perry: Deposits goal in loss
Rotowire
Perry scored a goal on three shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Maple Leafs.
Perry reached double-digit goals for the fourth year in a row after missing that mark in the three seasons previously. He's surged to the mark to an extent, scoring three times and adding an assist over his last six outings. Perry got some top-line shifts Saturday, but he's mostly been a bottom-six winger this season. He's at 10 goals, eight helpers, 57 shots on net, 18 hits, 27 PIM and a plus-9 rating through 51 appearances.

Oilers' Corey Perry: Nets goal Monday
Rotowire
Perry scored a goal in Monday's 4-2 win over the Kraken.
Perry found the twine midway through the second period to give the Oilers a 3-2 lead with his ninth goal of the season. The veteran is not the player he once was at 39 years of age, but he's finding ways to remain relevant -- even if it's as a streaming option off waivers -- with his play of late. Perry has cracked the scoresheet in three of his last four games and has tallied six points in 12 games in January (three goals, three assists).

Oilers' Corey Perry: Goes top cheese for goal
Rotowire
Perry scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Capitals.
The boxscore doesn't tell the whole story in this case. Perry's one-timer of a Leon Draisaitl pass came after the veteran winger skated around a tray of nachos thrown onto the ice by a fan, which drew the ire of the Capitals. Ultimately, the top-cheese tally didn't impact the result of the game, but it's certainly one of Perry's more unique goals. The winger snapped a four-game point drought and is now at eight goals, 15 points, 48 shots on net, 23 PIM and a plus-4 rating through 46 appearances this season.

Oilers' Corey Perry: Puts away goal Saturday
Rotowire
Perry scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Blackhawks.
Perry, who was released by the Blackhawks last season, was able to get a little revenge on his former team by scoring the game-tying goal Saturday. The forward has three points and a plus-3 rating over his last four outings, matching his production from the prior 10 contests. He's at seven goals, seven assists, 40 shots on net, 23 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 41 appearances in 2024-25, offering modest depth scoring in a bottom-six role.

Oilers' Corey Perry: Logs helper after scratch
Rotowire
Perry notched an assist and five PIM in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Bruins.
Perry set up an Adam Henrique goal in the first period and fought Trent Frederic in the second. The helper was Perry's second in his last two outings, but he was scratched for Saturday's game against the Kraken. For now, it looks like he still has a sizable advantage over Derek Ryan for the last forward spot in the lineup, and the Oilers don't seem to have the talent to push their luck with seven-defensemen lineups as they often did in 2023-24. Perry has 13 points, 35 shots on net, 23 PIM and an even plus-minus rating over 39 appearances this season.

Perry notched an assist in Friday's 3-2 win over the Ducks.
Perry was able to get on the scoresheet against his former team. The winger has been limited to three assists over his last eight outings. He's now at 12 points, 34 shots on net, 16 hits, 18 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 38 appearances. He's bounced around the lineup at times, but he appears to be firmly in a fourth-line role currently, which offers minimal fantasy value.

Oilers' Corey Perry: Manages helper in overtime win
Rotowire
Perry provided an assist in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Sharks.
Perry's assist was timely, as he set up Mattias Ekholm's game-tying goal with 18 seconds left in regulation. With a goal and two assists over his last four outings, Perry continues to chip in a little depth scoring from a bottom-six role. The 39-year-old winger is at 11 points, 30 shots on net, 16 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 33 contests, and without much physicality, he's not a strong option for most fantasy managers.

Oilers' Corey Perry: Pots goal in Saturday's win
Rotowire
Perry scored a goal in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Blues.
Perry made the Blues pay for a bungled line change in the first period. The winger has four points over his last seven contests, a steady but likely unsustainable level of offense for a fourth-liner. For the season, he's at five goals, three helpers, 24 shots on net, 10 hits, 16 PIM and a minus-3 rating through 27 appearances.
