Corey Perry leaves the Kings... again
Poor guy... Full story below:
www.hockeyfeed.comCorey Perry’s latest updates show him stepping away from the Los Angeles Kings to tend to a family matter, with no immediate return date announced. The Kings designated him to a non-roster status as he returns home, and two forwards were recalled from the AHL in anticipation of his absence. There have been other historical headlines about Perry’s career in Chicagoland and beyond, but the most current and verifiable development in early January 2026 centers on his temporary departure from the Kings and ongoing family-related absence.[1][2][5][8]
Key points
- Current team status: Perry designated to non-roster playing status by the Kings and absent from upcoming lineup due to a family illness.[5]
- Impact on the Kings: Emergency call-ups from Ontario Reign to fill roster spots while Perry is away.[5]
- Context for 2025–26 season: Perry has been active with the Kings prior to this absence, contributing goals and assists across 37 games before the latest development.[1]
