There was a significant turn of events for Corey Perry and his sorry career
This comes after Perry, a former Chicago Blackhawks player, found himself benched during the Vancouver Canucks series and subsequently sidelined for the entirety of the Dallas Stars series.
The Oilers eventually realized the value of the 2007 Stanley Cup champion's veteran presence.
"Good things happen when you put Corey Perry in the lineup and no body wants to admit that"
said a fan, highlighting the mixed opinions surrounding Perry's impact on the team.
Inserted into the Game 5 lineup against the Stars, Perry's presence immediately made a difference. Playing on the second line alongside
Leon Draisaitl and
Ryan McLeod, Perry contributed an assist on the first goal, helping lead the team to a crucial victory.
Perry learned about his return to the lineup just the morning before the game. According to him, this last-minute decision added an extra layer of motivation.
This turn of events is particularly significant for Perry, who is likely to retire after this season.
Many speculated that he would end his career as a healthy scratch, watching from the sidelines. Instead, Perry now has the opportunity to finish his illustrious career as an active player, demonstrating his enduring value to the team.
As the Oilers prepare for Game 6 against the Dallas Stars tonight at 8:30 PM EST, all eyes will be on Perry and his ability to continue making a positive impact.
Fans and analysts alike are eager to see if this veteran forward can help secure another win for Edmonton.
