Corey Perry returned to action on Friday March 16.

Corey Perry (shoulder) wasn't able to play in Wednesday's game. Perry has now missed two straight contests. He's still a possibility to return on Friday.

Corey Perry (shoulder) is being listed as a game-time decision for Wednesday night's contest versus Detroit. He participated in the morning skate, but coach Bruce Boudreau was uncertain if the Ducks winger would be able to play. Perry sat out Monday's overtime loss to Colorado because of a shoulder injury, which snapped his streak of 272 consecutive games played.

It wouldn't surprise Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau if Corey Perry (shoulder) played on Wednesday. Perry was on the ice for roughly 20 minutes on Tuesday after missing Monday's contest. "He makes remarkable improvement every day," Boudreau said. "I've only known him four months, but it would not surprise me to say that he would be playing (Wednesday). But I don't know yet."

Corey Perry (shoulder) didn't play in Monday's game. That ended Perry's consecutive game streak at 272. Even then, the streak started after he missed four games due to a suspension, not an injury. The silver lining is that Perry's current ailment isn't believed to be serious.

Corey Perry (shoulder) didn't skate with the Ducks Monday morning. It looks like Perry probably won't play in Monday's game, but that hasn't been confirmed. He has played in 272 consecutive contests.

Corey Perry (shoulder) should be considered questionable for Monday's game. Perry suffered the injury on Saturday due to a Stephane Robidas' hit. He's played in 272 straight games.

Corey Perry remains day-to-day with his injured shoulder. Perry suffered the injury on Saturday thanks to a Stephane Robidas hit. Anaheim's playoff hopes are just about finished, but Perry could obviously be very helpful in the fantasy playoffs. Without as much to fight for, he might be more willing to miss time, though.

Corey Perry injured his right shoulder in the Ducks' 2-0 loss to the Stars' Saturday night. He left the game in the second period in obvious pain after being hit in a questionable manner by Dallas' Stephane Robidas. The good news is that X-rays on Perry's shoulder came back negative. He will continue to get treatment for the injury and his status for the Ducks' game Monday against the Avalanche will become clearer over the next 24 hours.

Coach Bruce Boudreau is trying to limit the ice time of his two star forwards Corey Perry and Ryan Getzlaf. Perry and Getzlaf were second and fifth last season in ice time among forwards and are third and fourth respectively this season, trailing only Ilya Kovalchuk and Zach Parise of the Devils. "If they're not on the power play, it's about 50 seconds now," Boudreau said of their time per shift. "I'd still like it to get it to 45 seconds. But it's really a misleading stat. Because if you want to match and you pull them off in 10 seconds, that brings all the time down. They could still stay out for a minute and a half the next time and you've got two 45-second shifts. So you get the book at the end of the day and you look at how many shifts they had that are a minute or longer. It's a lot less than it was. We're trying to be more of a four-line team than a three-line team. You need short shifts." For the record, Getzlaf played 22:23 minutes Thursday while Perry was on the ice 21:36 minutes.
