Corey Perry has had the rare opportunity to play in five Stanley Cup finals. He is now one of a small group of players with four losses in at least five appearances.

It happened again to Corey Perry.

On his fifth Stanley Cup final appearance and fourth attempt to win his second championship, Perry and the Edmonton Oilers came up short. They lost in Game 7 to the Florida Panthers on Monday to lock in Florida's first Stanley Cup win.

Perry is the first player in NHL history to make the Cup final with five different teams. He's now also on a relatively small list of players to lose in the final at least four times in at least five appearances.

He's the 34th player all-time in that regard and the first since Petr Sykora entered the list in 2008 with the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Brian Propp was the next player before them, making five Cup final appearances and winning none, last appearing in the 1991 final with the Minnesota North Stars.

Five other players on the list last made the Cup final in the 1970s: Jimmy Roberts with the Montreal Canadiens and St. Louis Blues, Johnny Bucyk with the Detroit Red Wings and Boston Bruins, Terry Crisp with the Blues and Philadelphia Flyers, Stan Mikita with the Chicago Blackhawks, Bruce MacGregor with the Wings and New York Rangers and Jean-Guy Talbot with Montreal and St. Louis.

Other NHL players on the list include Original Six Era players, such as Gordie Howe, Maurice Richard and Ted Lindsay.

Of all these players, Perry is the only one to have lost four times with four different teams.

While it is surely disappointing for 39-year-old Perry to miss out once again on his second Stanley Cup championship, the one upside is being one of the relatively few players to have gotten the opportunity to play this far in the playoffs as often as he has. It's also a matter of NHL Cup contenders continuing to bring Perry onto their team in the push for glory.

Perry finished the playoffs with a goal and three points in 19 games. He has 127 points in 215 career playoff games.
