Dylan Holloway, highlighting his ability to maintain composure and capitalize on opportunities.
Clocking over 13 minutes of ice time, his second-highest in the playoffs this year, Perry proved his doubters wrong and signaled a potential shift in momentum for the Oilers' playoff hopes.
In game 4, Corey Perry wasn't just present; he was pivotal. His performance not only contributed significantly to the scoreline but also infused the team with a sense of possibility and determination.
