Perry notched an assist in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Perry scored a power-play goal on four shots in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Perry scored a goal and went plus-3 in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
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.

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

Perry produced a goal and an assist in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Perry scored his first goal as an Oiler in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Perry supplied an assist, fired two shots on goal and went plus-2 in Friday's 5-3 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Perry signed a one-year, $775,000 contract with the Oilers on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Perry cleared unconditional waivers Wednesday, resulting in the termination of his contract with the Blackhawks, Lance Hornby of The Toronto Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hornby notes Perry will have 60 days to file a grievance if he chooses. It remains unclear what alleged misconduct led to Perry's release by Chicago, but at this point it seems unlikely he'll play again in the NHL in 2023-24.

Perry was placed on unconditional waivers by the Blackhawks for the purpose of terminating his contract Tuesday, Charlie Roumeliotis of NBC Sports Chicago reports. A corresponding statement released by the team said, "After an internal investigation, the Chicago Blackhawks have determined that Corey Perry has engaged in conduct that is unacceptable, and in violation of both the terms of his Standard Player's Contract and the Blackhawks' internal policies intended to promote professional and safe work environments. As such, Corey Perry has been placed on unconditional waivers. In the event Mr. Perry clears waivers, we intent to terminate his contract effective immediately."
EDGE Analysis
The details of Perry's alleged misconduct have not been released by the team. The 38-year-old winger has played quite well this season, picking up four goals and nine points through 16 games, but it's hard to imagine another team claiming him off waivers after being cut loose by Chicago, particularly when taking his hefty $4 million salary this year into account.
