Overview
- Corey Perry will make his 2025–26 season debut Tuesday against the St. Louis Blues in St. Louis, the team’s content manager announced.
- The Kings officially activated Perry from injured reserve and placed Anže Kopitar on injured reserve on Tuesday.
- Kopitar is considered week-to-week with a foot injury sustained while blocking a shot on Oct. 13, according to Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman.
- With no open roster spot available, moving Kopitar to IR created the necessary room for Perry’s activation.
- Perry returned ahead of an initial six-to-eight-week timeline after early-September knee surgery and is on a one-year deal with up to $2 million in performance bonuses.
