Ageless Winger Corey Perry Eager to Continue Stanley Cup Chase with Lightning
Corey Perry scored in his first game back with Tampa Bay after a trade from Los Angeles, aiming to help the Lightning chase a second Stanley Cup ring.
- On Saturday, Corey Perry, 40, scored in the first period after arriving bleary-eyed at Scotiabank Arena following a long travel day, as Tampa Bay beat Toronto 5-2.
- Hours earlier, Perry agreed to be traded back to Tampa Bay for a second-round pick at the 2028 NHL draft just ahead of the Friday trade deadline.
- Perry rejoined a familiar lineup and immediately contributed, with Tampa head coach Jon Cooper saying Perry provides more than scoring and can help the club even without heavy minutes.
- The loss deepened Toronto's slide as fans booed during the seventh straight defeat, with Anthony Stolarz saying, 'People are going to be frustrated and they're spending their hard-earned money to come watch us play.'
- Corey Perry, who won the 2007 Stanley Cup with Anaheim, recorded 11 goals and 17 assists for 28 points in 50 games despite knee surgery, as the team he rejoined tops the standings before Sunday.
