Perry scored a goal, went plus-2 and added five PIM in Sunday's 8-7 loss to the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

Perry fought Beck Malenstyn early in the second period and then scored shortly after he served his time in the sin bin. With a goal in each of his two games since he was traded to the Lightning from the Kings, it's clear why Tampa Bay wanted him back. The 40-year-old winger is up to 13 goals, 30 points, 92 shots on net, 64 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 52 outings this season.

Perry scored a goal Saturday in a 5-2 win over Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

It was his first game back as a member of the Lightning. Perry previously played for Tampa Bay from 2021-23, and he arrived with 28 points (11 goals, 17 assists) in 50 games with the Kings this season. Perry's goal stood as the winner. He's on the fourth line, but immediately slots onto the point of the second power-play unit. Perry may have some immediate fantasy value because of the role.

Perry was acquired by the Lightning from the Kings on Friday in exchange for a 2028 second-round pick, according to Chris Johnston of The Athletic.

EDGE Analysis

Perry played two seasons with the Lightning in 2021-22 and the following year, generating 31 goals and 65 points across 163 regular-season games. The 40-year-old veteran had 11 goals and 28 points in 50 games with the Kings prior to his trade to Tampa Bay.

Perry picked up two assists in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

Both helpers came on Adrian Kempe tallies in the first period. Perry wraps up a productive January in which he collected three goals and 11 points in 10 games, including two goals and three assists with the man advantage. The 40-year-old winger should continue to post useful fantasy numbers as long as he hangs onto a top-six role for the Kings, as well as a spot on the top power-play unit.

Perry scored a goal and had two shots in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

Perry missed three games between Jan. 14 and Jan. 17 due to a personal matter, but he's picked things up right where he left them, tallying three points in his last three contests. The veteran forward is not the player he once was, but he remains productive and a steady source of scoring as a top-six forward. Perry has cracked the scoresheet in his last five outings and in nine of the last 10, tallying 11 points (four goals, seven helpers) over that stretch.

Perry (personal) is set to play Tuesday versus the Rangers, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.

EDGE Analysis

Perry missed the Kings' past three games. He has 10 goals and 23 points in 37 appearances in 2025-26. Perry's return coincides with Andre Lee returning to AHL Ontario after Lee logged 11:08 of ice time in the Kings' 2-1 overtime loss to Anaheim on Saturday.

Perry (personal) has yet to rejoin the team ahead of Friday's clash with Anaheim, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

At this point, Perry should probably be considered out indefinitely until the team provides an update regarding his return to the squad. With Anze Kopitar (lower body) and Trevor Moore (upper body) still sidelined, Taylor Ward and Andre Lee could get extended looks in fourth-line roles.

Perry (personal) will miss Wednesday's game against Vegas, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.

EDGE Analysis

It will be Perry's third absence in five games for personal reasons. He has 10 goals and 23 points in 37 appearances this season. Los Angeles is expected to dress seven defensemen Wednesday, with Jacob Moverare drawing into the lineup.

Perry scored a power-play goal on three shots in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

Perry missed two games to attend to a personal matter. He was rolling before his absence and picked up where he left off, earning his third goal and seventh point in his last six outings. The 40-year-old is up to 10 goals, 22 points (10 on the power play), 68 shots on net, 36 PIM and a plus-1 rating through 36 outings this season. He was on the second line Saturday and is worth a look as a streaming option if he stays in the top six.

Perry (personal) was activated from non-roster status Saturday, per John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio.

EDGE Analysis

The Kings moved Anze Kopitar (lower body) to injured reserve in a corresponding move. Perry missed Los Angeles' past two games, but he'll probably serve in a bottom-six capacity Saturday versus Edmonton. Jacob Moverare, who dressed in the last two games as the seventh defenseman, might be a healthy scratch against the Oilers if Perry's return results in the Kings going back to dressing 12 forwards and six blueliners. Perry has nine goals and 21 points in 35 outings in 2025-26.
