Oilers Represent Corey Perry's Best Chance at Second Cup - The Hockey Writers Edmonton Oilers Latest News, Analysis & More

Corey Perry finds himself in the unique and privileged position of getting to compete for his elusive second career championship in this season's Stanley Cup Playoffs. Few could have predicted that, let alone that he would sign another NHL contract midway through the season, after an abrupt dismissal and contract termination by the Chicago Blackhawks in November. After an early and mid-career run of success with the Anaheim Ducks, which included a championship in 2007 and several additional appearances in the Western Conference Final, Perry has returned to the NHL's final round a surprising three times – with the Dallas Stars in 2020, the Montreal Canadiens in 2021, and Tampa Bay Lightning in 2022 – but suffered defeat in each instance.
