Kings’ Corey Perry set for season debut against Blues

Corey Perry will wear a Los Angeles Kings jersey on Tuesday.

The veteran — and former Kings rival as a longtime Anaheim Duck — will make his season and team debut against the St. Louis Blues, the team announced.

Perry, 40, signed a one-year, $2 million contract with the Kings in the off-season, but was injured during a pre-camp skate, leading to knee surgery.

One of the final active NHLers from the 2003 draft class, Perry spent last season with the Edmonton Oilers, where he recorded his best numbers since 2021-22 with 19 goals and 11 assists for 30 points in 81 games.

Perry and the Kings don’t play the Oilers until Jan. 10. Los Angeles has dropped four consecutive first-round series against Edmonton.

He captured the Stanley Cup in 2007 with the Ducks but has lost in five Finals appearances since.

Over his 1,392 career games, Perry has registered 935 points (448 goals, 487 assists) and has appeared in 237 playoff contests scoring 64 goals with 77 assists.

Perry has played in the Stanley Cup Final in five of the past six seasons — but his team lost each time, including back-to-back losses with the Oilers to the Florida Panthers. He won a Stanley Cup title with the Ducks back in 2007.
