Corey Perry

41 years old, 1,464 games, and still standing exactly where he has always stood: in the goaltender's eyes.

This Season So Far

The 2026-27 season has not started. The empty row above is his, and both it and this paragraph fill in on their own from the morning after he first plays: what he has done, what it is worth against his own last season, and the run he is on when the two disagree.

Last Season

17 goals and 37 points in 72 games, 5 of the goals on the power play, with 81 penalty minutes — the most on the team — in under 14 minutes a night. That is a remarkable rate of production for a fourth-line workload at his age.

The Finesse Game

The skating went years ago and he has built a game that does not need it. What he has left is a pair of hands that still work in a crowd, a heavy stick around the net, and the best sense of where a rebound is going of anyone on the roster. He scores from within 10 feet and has for a decade.

On the power play he stands at the net front, screens, tips, and turns the ugly puck into a goal. He is genuinely one of the better net-front players in the league at an age when most players are broadcasting.

The Physical Game

6-3 and 210 and he is still a nuisance. He cross-checks, he holds, he talks, and he draws penalties by making opponents lose their composure. 81 penalty minutes is a career habit, not a decline.

He is not going to win a foot race or a wall battle against a strong young defenceman. He does not enter contests he cannot win.

The Intangibles

A Cup, a Hart, a Rocket Richard, and a run of Finals appearances with 4 different clubs in his late thirties. Teams keep acquiring him in the spring for a reason, and it is not sentiment.

He is 41. There is no projection here beyond the obvious: he will play until the hands go, and they have not gone.

The numbers underneath

On the ice

Five-on-five, 2025-26 · 789 minutes

Expected goals: 49.6%; 52nd pct
Shot attempts: 50.1%; 58th pct

Goals while he was on the ice: 33 for, 22 against. Expected: 29.7 and 30.2.

The eye and the numbers

Sighted

Report

67th

Numbers

52nd

The two rank him within 15 points of one another. It was written with these numbers on screen, so the agreement is not corroboration — the arithmetic is on both sides of it.

Both bars are percentiles among the 656 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 75 on their own scale — against every other report's mean. The numbers bar ranks his share of expected goals. A gap is a disagreement about where he belongs, not two scales talking past each other.

Tracked

NHL Edge, 2025-26 · 72 games

Top speed: 20.8 mph; 7th pct
Bursts over 20 mph: 0.04 a game
Distance: 1.93 miles a game
Hardest shot: 88.2 mph; 71st pct

A top speed is a season's best, and a man who takes more shifts gets more tries at one; the percentile is the feed's own, against every skater, and says less between a top-pair defenceman and a fourth-line wing than it does between two men in the same job. The counts are shown per game for the same reason.

Recent form

Last 20 appearances, 2025-26, oldest first

points in his last 10 games — 4 goals, 2 assists, 20 shots

Each bar is one game by points. Filled bars are games he scored in.

Usual linemates

2025-26 · 559 minutes at five-on-five

Share of his five-on-five ice time spent alongside each player, measured from shift charts. Special teams are excluded: a power-play unit is not a line.

Why the numbers land there

Five-on-five, 2025-26

The club: TBL took 53.9% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 49.6% — 4.3 below the club he did it on.
The role: 789 minutes at five-on-five — 37th percentile in ice time.

With and without

Teammate	Together	Him apart	Mate apart
Brandt Clarke	58.6%	46.5%	53.6%
Brian Dumoulin	48.4%	50.0%	50.4%
Alex Turcotte	56.2%	47.4%	55.0%

58.6% together, 46.5% for him apart and 53.6% for Clarke apart. Both were worse apart, so whatever the two of them had together was doing real work.

Expected-goal share while both were on the ice, and for each man in the minutes he played without the other. Apart is the pair subtracted from his own totals. It does not settle who was carrying whom — apart from each other, both were still playing with somebody — but it does say whether the share travelled when the pairing broke up.

Where he shoots from

goal on goal missed

170 unblocked shots in 2025-26, 17 of them goals. His median goal came from 8 feet. 58% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 15% from beyond forty.
