At 39 years old, Corey Perry is proving that he remains a valuable asset for the Edmonton Oilers. With six goals and five assists in 36 games, the former Montreal Canadiens forward continues to make an impact despite a limited role.

His coach, Kris Knoblauch, highlights his unique contributions:

«He’s dangerous near the net, defensively solid, and still capable of scoring. Corey brings indispensable intensity and leadership.»

Despite restricted ice time, Perry remains an effective agitator, currently playing alongside Derek Ryan and Connor Brown on the fourth line.

He continues to inspire his teammates with his experience, having participated in four Stanley Cup Finals over the past five years, although he hasn’t lifted the trophy since 2007 with the Anaheim Ducks.

This season, Perry remains motivated to contribute to the Oilers’ quest for the championship.

With his contract expiring at the end of the season, his future in the NHL is uncertain.

Could he extend his stay with Edmonton or choose to continue his career elsewhere?

Do you think a return to the Montreal Canadiens, in a well-defined role, could be an interesting option?

It’s true that he could bring an interesting element to the Canadiens, but this will depend on the team’s plans next summer.

Whatever happens, the veteran is proving that he still has energy and skills to offer.

His versatility, instinct near the net, and resilience make him a valuable asset for any team aspiring to championship success.
