"On Sept. 12, Los Angeles Kings forward Corey Perry suffered a knee injury while practicing at Toyota Sports Performance Center. The next morning, the team announced his successful surgery, which will keep him sidelined for six to eight weeks. Update on #10 Corey Perry:#GoKingsGo pic.twitter.com/XQVKqenwNx- LA Kings (@LAKings) September 13, 2025 Perry was one of the Kings' top free-agent signings of the 2025 offseason. The 40-year-old winger agreed to a one-year, $2 million deal in hopes of bringing a gritty bottom-six presence to Los Angeles."
"His experience, going to six Stanley Cup Finals, should be invaluable. That's being put on brief hold, however. The start of the Kings' season is about four weeks away, meaning he'll miss the start of the 2025-26 campaign. If the timeline is accurate, Perry will be out anywhere from a handful of games to the entire month of October, and then some."
Corey Perry suffered a knee injury on Sept. 12 while practicing at Toyota Sports Performance Center and underwent successful surgery the following morning. The procedure will keep him sidelined six to eight weeks. Perry signed a one-year, $2 million deal with the Kings in 2025 to provide a gritty bottom-six presence and veteran experience from six Stanley Cup Final appearances. In 2024-25 he had 19 goals and 11 assists in 81 regular-season games and added 10 goals and four assists in 22 playoff games. He is expected to miss the start of the 2025-26 season, reducing early-season depth and potential playoff X-factor.
