Former Duck Corey Perry Gives Kings a Boost, but They Still Lose Rivalry Game
Veteran forward and former Anaheim Duck Corey Perry, now with the Los Angeles Kings, brought energy and tactical awareness to his new team. His presence was especially notable in Friday’s game against his old club.
Despite Perry’s contribution and leadership on the ice, the Ducks mounted a strong comeback in the third period to defeat the Kings. The matchup, part of the classic Freeway Faceoff, highlighted Perry’s enduring influence while underscoring the Kings’ struggles to maintain consistency late in games.
“Corey’s experience and instincts make him valuable in tight moments,” said a Kings coach after the game. “But we have to finish stronger as a team.”
The Ducks’ victory added another chapter to the long-running Southern California hockey rivalry, with both sides already looking ahead to their next meeting.
