Corey Perry scored his eighth goal of the season in a 4-2 loss Wednesday. Saku Koivu accounted for Anaheim's other goal. Andrew Cogliano, Cam Fowler, Ryan Getzlaf, and Toni Lydman each registered an assist in the losing effort.

Ducks coach Randy Carlyle doesn't have a problem with Corey Perry fighting under certain circumstances. Perry and Brandon Dubinsky dropped their gloves and faced each other on Saturday, but ultimately, they were both assessed double minors rather than fighting majors. "I see nothing wrong with two guys at the same level if they chose to drop the gloves," Carlyle said. "When there's a mismatch as far as the level of player.Dubinsky's a pretty good player, and so is Corey Perry. If it's a different level of player fighting a more skilled player then I look at it differently." Perry recorded 50 goals, 48 assists, and 104 penalty minutes last season.

Corey Perry scored twice and added an assist in Anaheim's 4-3 overtime win against Jokerit in Helsinki on Tuesday.

Corey Perry has had a quiet training camp for the Ducks. The reigning Hart Trophy winner has not been able to click on Anaheim's first line with Bobby Ryan and Ryan Getzlaf in the preseason. "The timing's not there right out of the gate," Ryan said. "That's obviously to be expected. But that's what these games are for, to get better each and every night."

Don't expect Corey Perry to flirt with 100 penalty minutes this season. Perry finished last season with 104 minutes in the sin bin, but had 74 in his first 30 games while managing only 30 in his final 42, including only six minors in the last 20 contests. His scoring took off in the second half of the season as he picked up 30 goals and 56 points in the 42 games. Perry was a fantasy stud last season with 50 goals, 98 points and the aforementioned 104 penalty minutes. While he should approach the offensive numbers once again in 2011-12, his penalty minute total should take a bit of a hit. Perry is worth selecting in the opening round in most fantasy pools.

The Anaheim Ducks will celebrate, "Corey Perry Night" on Oct. 16 when they host the St. Louis Blues. Fans in attendance will get a poster and a commemorative puck to honor Perry being selected as the franchise's first Hart Trophy winner. He will also be recognized before puck drop for capturing the Maurice "Rocket" Richard Trophy as the league's top goal scorer.

Corey Perry became a first team All-Star for the first time in his career. Goaltender Tim Thomas defensemen Nicklas Lidstrom and Shea Weber were also named to the team while Daniel Sedin and Henrik Sedin joined Perry at forward. Congratulations to all as they were most deserving.

Corey Perry was surprised to hear his name called when the NHL announced the winner of the Hart Trophy. The award is given to the most valuable player to his team and Perry was a deserving winner with 50 goals and 98 points as he carried the Ducks to the playoffs with an outstanding late season surge. Perry hugged his parents when he was announced as the winner. "They're what got me here," Perry said. "You didn't know what to expect coming in [and] obviously you hear your name. It surprised me. I've got to give a lot of credit to my teammates. I've got a lot of family and friends here. It's pretty special." Perry beat out Daniel Sedin and Martin St. Louis in winning the Hart.

Corey Perry took home the Hart Trophy as the NHL's MVP. Perry's incredible season was capped off with winning the NHL's biggest award. Perry's late season run allowed him to reach 50 goals and 48 assists overall. Anaheim has a bright future with Perry leading the way. Congratulations to Perry as he was the NHL's best this year.

Corey Perry could become the first player to win the Hart Trophy as a member of the Anaheim Ducks. Paul Kariya was a finalist in 1997 and so was Teemu Selanne in 1998, but neither of them ended up winning. Fellow Hart finalist Martin St. Louis said he'd vote for Perry because he reached the 50-goal marker and had a tremendous second half. Perry ranked third in the league in total points, but he was the league's only 50-goal scorer this season.
