[https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/edmonton-oilers/latest-news/exclusive-mark-messier-on-oilers-budweiser-his-future-more] Perry sits fifth in Oilers’ playoff scoring [https://www.nhl.com/oilers/stats], with seven points. He’s tied with Zach Hyman [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/edmonton-oilers/latest-news/oilers-have-now-turned-into-wrecking-balls] in points and is two back of Ryan Nugent-Hopkins [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/edmonton-oilers/players/how-oilers-can-get-the-most-out-of-ryan-nugent-hopkins]. He’s earned his top line deployment and this production virtually guarantees that he’ll sustain his placement. Perry is tied with Draisaitl for five goals during the 2025 playoffs. What’s perhaps most impressive is that he’s scored three of his five tallies in their current series against the Golden Knights. Not too shabby for a 39-year-old forward who’s on a team-friendly deal worth $1.15 million (not counting bonuses) [https://puckpedia.com/player/corey-perry]. For the Oilers to move on past the Golden Knights, everyone needs to do their part. Perry is contributing more than enough. Considering what his regular season role was, you couldn’t ask for anything more from him.
