The veteran winger is no stranger to the Stanley Cup finals, having reached this stage four times and winning once with the Anaheim Ducks. He knows the highs of victory and the lows of falling just short. Determined to win the Cup one more time, Perry has been motivating his teammates, giving each of them a stick tap during what could be his last practice with the Oilers.
However, this likely won't be his last practice ever. Despite being on an expiring contract, the 39-year-old confirmed he plans to continue playing after tomorrow's game.
While playing for five more seasons might be a stretch, Perry has proven he can still compete with younger players. He remains effective, especially when paired with stars like Connor McDavid.
This season, Perry scored 12 goals and recorded 22 points between the Blackhawks and Oilers. In the playoffs, he has one goal and three points in 18 games. Be sure to tune in tomorrow night to see if he makes an impact in the final game of the season.
