Perry scored a goal on two shots, dished an assist and added two hits in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Wild.
Perry snapped a five-game point drought Thursday, earning his first multi-point effort of the season. He tallied in the second period and set up a Jeff Skinner goal in the final minute of the game. Perry has four goals, two assists, 20 shots on net and 14 PIM through 21 contests. He's mainly played on the fourth line but occasionally features as far up the lineup as the second line. Perry could play a larger role while Zach Hyman recovers from an undisclosed injury.

Oilers' Corey Perry: Scores in win Saturday
Rotowire
Perry scored a goal in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Canucks.
Perry has three points over his last six contests. The winger converted on a quick passing play early in the second period to put the Oilers ahead 2-0. He's up to three goals, one helper, 13 shots on net, four hits, four blocked shots, 12 PIM and a plus-1 rating through 15 appearances. Perry will play regularly on the fourth line and second power-play unit, but his offense is unlikely to be very consistent.

Oilers' Corey Perry: Tallies in Thursday's win
Rotowire
Perry scored a goal and went plus-2 in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Predators.
Perry has a goal and an assist over the last two contests. The 39-year-old winger remains in a fourth-line role, though that trio had a new look with call-ups Noah Philp and Drake Caggiula in the lineup Thursday. Perry has three points, 12 shots on net, a plus-1 rating and 12 PIM through 11 outings, so he's unlikely to offer much fantasy value at this stage of his career.

Oilers' Corey Perry: Registers assist in loss
Rotowire
Perry posted a power-play assist, two shots on goal and a minus-2 rating in Monday's 6-1 loss to the Blue Jackets.
Perry saw 3:41 on the power play in a game where the Blue Jackets took six penalties. The winger has often featured on the second unit, but there could be a spot up for grabs on the first unit depending on the severity of Connor McDavid's lower-body injury. Perry probably isn't the first candidate for that role -- he has just two points to go with 11 shots on net, 12 PIM and a minus-1 rating over 10 contests this season.

Oilers' Corey Perry: Jams in goal
Rotowire
Perry scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Blackhawks.
Facing one of his former teams, Perry broke the Oilers' goal drought at 4:55 of the second period. The winger has filled a fourth-line role in both games this season, picking up five shots on net in addition to his goal. The 39-year-old is not guaranteed to be an everyday player, but the Oilers don't have any spare forwards on the roster as they operate close to the cap ceiling.

Oilers' Corey Perry: Not done playing yet
Rotowire
Perry signed a one-year, $1.4 million contract with the Oilers on Monday.
Perry had 12 goals, 22 points and 46 PIM in 54 regular-season contests between Chicago and Edmonton in 2023-24. He also recorded a goal, three points and 12 PIM across 19 playoff appearances with the Oilers. Perry is projected to serve in a bottom-six role, but at the age of 39, he's could be a healthy scratch a fair amount of the time.

Oilers' Corey Perry: Strikes on power play
Rotowire
Perry scored a power-play goal on two shots in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Panthers in Game 5.
Perry's second-period tally was ultimately the game-winner. The veteran winger has just three points with 15 shots on net, 17 hits and 12 PIM over 17 playoff outings, but he's often seen time on the second power-play unit when in the lineup. Perry's ice time remains limited -- even with his goal Tuesday, he saw a postseason-low 7:07 in the win.

Oilers' Corey Perry: Gets first point of playoffs
Rotowire
Perry posted an assist and three hits in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Stars in Game 4.
Perry fell out of favor for the Oilers late in the second round -- his appearance Wednesday ended a stretch of five straight healthy scratches for the veteran winger. He was also able to snap a 12-game point drought when he helped out on a Ryan McLeod tally in the first period. The 39-year-old Perry's best years are well behind him at this point, but he can still be an effective depth forward and pest. Given the Oilers' win in Game 4 to even the Western Conference Finals at two games apiece, it wouldn't be surprising to see Perry get a run in the lineup over the rest of the series.

Oilers' Corey Perry: Contributes two points
Rotowire
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: Adds helper in win
Rotowire
Perry notched an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Golden Knights.
Perry has two points over his last three games, matching his production from the previous 13 contests. The 38-year-old continues to see third-line usage, but his contributions on offense are minimal. Perry has 20 points, 76 shots on net, 42 hits, 46 PIM and a minus-3 rating through 49 appearances between the Oilers and the Blackhawks 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.

Oilers' Corey Perry: Reaches 10-goal mark
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. The veteran winger has 10 goals, 18 points, 62 shots on net, 35 hits, 37 PIM and a minus-4 rating through 40 contests between the Oilers and the Blackhawks this season.

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.

Oilers' Corey Perry: Buries goal Wednesday
Rotowire
Perry scored a goal on three shots, added seven PIM and logged two hits in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Bruins.
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.

Oilers' Corey Perry: Signs one-year contract
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.
