Corey Perry out Week-to-Week with a Knee Injury<\/h1>\n

Perry, 32, has six goals and 16 assists for 22 points in 31 games for the Ducks this season. After being drafted by Anaheim in the first round of the 2003 NHL Draft, Perry has spent his entire 13-year NHL career with the team. His best season came in 2010-11 when he scored 50 goals and 98 points and won the Hart Trophy as the MVP of the NHL. Perry also was part of the Ducks 2007 Stanley Cup win, as well as a two-time Olympic Gold Medalist with Team Canada (2010 and 2014).<\/p>\n

Perry has been placed on the injured reserve list. The team called up forward Kevin Roy<\/a><\/strong> from the San Diego Gulls of the AHL to take Perry’s spot on the roster. The Ducks next game comes on Thursday, as they travel to St. Louis to take on the Blues<\/a>.<\/p>\n
