A major date has now been confirmed for Corey Perry
The news that was reported over the weekend is now official - veteran forward Corey Perry has signed with the Edmonton Oilers shortly after Commissioner Gary Bettman gave him the green light to return.
Perry joins the Oilers, who are on a hot streak with 15 consecutive wins, setting franchise and NHL Canadian records.
Perry's Debut Date is Confirmed
Tonight, the Oilers face the Nashville Predators, aiming for a 16th straight win, and Perry is expected to make his debut skating alongside Dylan Holloway and Ryan McLeod... will Perry ruin the teams winning record by forcing the Oilers to shift their hot lineup to make room for Perry?
