Edmonton Oilers winger Corey Perry has been promoted to the top line to play with Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl on Saturday against the Toronto Maple Leafs .

Perry , who will turn 40 during the Stanley Cup playoffs this spring , has been a solid two -way performer for the Oilers at even strength this year .

Perry was, essentially, the least effective Oilers winger during the 2024 Stanley Cup run.
