Veteran Forward Corey Perry Traded to Tampa Bay Lightning

The Los Angeles Kings have traded 40-year-old forward Corey Perry to the Tampa Bay Lightning in exchange for a 2028 second-round draft pick. Perry, who recorded 11 goals and 17 assists in 49 games this season, waived his no-trade clause to return to Tampa Bay, where he previously played from 2021-23. The move provides the Lightning with significant veteran experience, physicality, and scoring depth as they push for the Stanley Cup.
