It truly is quite an impressive span of playoff supremacy, mixed with a basically fluky inability to finish the ultimate prize. Of course, he does have one from his younger days in the league, led by all-time greats, in their own right.<\/p>\n<p>Corey Perry has played 1392 regular season games over 20 seasons. 17 of those NHL campaigns, he has scored 12-or-more goals. Furthermore, he has a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/r\/richama01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-09-12_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Maurice Richard<\/a> Goal-Scoring Title Trophy and a Stanley Cup Championship to his name.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">As reported here, Corey Perry was injured during a skate today. He&#39;s undergoing further evaluation, and not sure if there will be an official update before camp begins. <a  href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/fOICw1QtlN\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/t.co\/fOICw1QtlN<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Elliotte Friedman (@FriedgeHNIC) <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FriedgeHNIC\/status\/1966660319515746786?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">September 13, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Corey Perry has proven, night-in, night-out, to be the ultimate playoff player throughout his career.

Who&#8217;s he sandwiched between among the active player list?

The Kings felt that, even at age 40, he provides value in creating a winning environment in Southern California. Hopefully he is able to return before the regular season starts, to get up to game speed.
