Corey Perry has been in the news recently mainly for his status with the Los Angeles Kings, including a temporary absence to attend to a family illness and being designated to non-roster status to facilitate his return home. There are older items about his time with the Chicago Blackhawks and a notable disciplinary-related waiver from 2023, but those events are not current to 2026.[3][4][5][8]
Key points from the latest coverage:
- Perry left the Kings to deal with a family illness and was placed on non-roster status, with the team calling up AHL players to fill in temporarily.[5][8]
- There have been persistent rumors and reports about his on-ice role and availability during the 2025–26 season, with no formal long-term designation publicly announced in the most recent updates.[5]
