Stars' Perry to miss 2 more weeks with foot fracture

Corey Perry will wait a bit longer to make his Dallas Stars debut.

The veteran winger will be out for two more weeks, Stars head coach Jim Montgomery told reporters on Sunday, according to Mike Heika of the team's website.

On Sept. 13, Montgomery said Perry suffered a small foot fracture and the forward would be re-evaluated in two weeks.

At that time, Perry said he planned to be ready for the season opener against the Boston Bruins on Oct. 3. However, missing an additional two weeks pushes his return closer to mid-October.

Perry signed a one-year, $1.5-million contract with the Stars as a free agent on July 1 after the Anaheim Ducks bought him out. He spent all 14 of his previous NHL seasons with the Ducks.
