Corey Perry: our analysis

2025-26 season: 22 GP, 6 G, 3 A, 9 PTS, +1 +/-, 12:13 TOI. WAR 0.4 (255th of 615) · PAL 47, around average.

In 2025-26, Corey Perry, 41, posts a PAL Rating of 47 out of 100 (around average), and his WAR of 0.4 ranks 255th among 615 regulars, in the top half.

His strengths: creation (83, well above average), shooting (79, well above average) and offense (71, above average). On the other hand, possession (22, well below average) and discipline (24, well below average) hold him back.

Breaking down his WAR (goals above average), his biggest contribution: EV offense (+0.1); his biggest cost: power play (-0.3).

A slight dip from 2024-25, when his PAL was 54; his WAR went from 1.3 to 0.4.

Contract-wise, his Value score of 49 (fair value) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.

Corey Perry's story

Corey Perry grew up skating in small-town Ontario and moved to Peterborough at age ten, where he developed through the local minor system before catching the eye of junior scouts. Early on he combined a natural scoring touch with a combative edge that made him stand out among forwards in his age group.

Selected 28th overall by the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft, Perry advanced from the London Knights to pro ranks after a decorated junior run that included a Memorial Cup and an OHL title. His junior résumé and playoff performances opened the door to a full-time role in Anaheim not long after.

Perry spent the bulk of his career with Anaheim, winning a Stanley Cup in 2007 and emerging as a top goal-scorer in the years that followed. The 2010–11 season was his defining campaign: he led the NHL with 50 goals, claimed the Maurice "Rocket" Richard Trophy and was awarded the Hart Memorial Trophy as the league's most valuable player. Over time he also skated for several other NHL clubs, taking on different responsibilities while continuing to be a notable offensive threat.

Internationally, Perry has been a significant contributor to Team Canada, earning Olympic gold in 2010 and 2014 and captaining the national team to the World Championship title in 2016, a victory that completed his entry into the Triple Gold Club. His international honours complement his junior and club achievements.

Perry's game is straightforward: he is a finisher who finds high-danger areas around the net, and he plays with an abrasive edge that unsettles opponents. That mix of scoring instincts and persistent physicality has defined his role throughout a long NHL career.
