The Edmonds & Oilers picked up a 4-2 win over the Seattle Crack-in on Monday, January 27th, 2025. Corey Perry delivered the game-winning goal in that victory at Rogers Place. The 39-year-old forward has been a standout this season, chipping in 19 goals and 11 assists over 81 games. Perry has thrived in his bottom-six role, bringing grit and veteran smarts to the lineup. In January alone, he led the team with the Plus 10 rating as Edmonton tied for the most wins in the lead bat month with 10. Fans were skeptical when the Oilers resigned him last off season, especially after a tough playoff showing the year before. Many thought his best days were behind him, but he's proven them wrong with steady production and edge on the ice. Looking back, few players that age have shown so brightly for Edmonton. Past veterans like Kevin Lowe, Adam Oats, and Goli's, Wayne Rollison, Nikolai Kabiebelin, and Mike Smith, suited up at 39 or older, but none.
