Canadiens sign Perry to 1-year, $750K deal

The Montreal Canadiens have inked forward Corey Perry to a one-year, $750,000 contract.

Perry, who was an unrestricted free agent, helped lead the Dallas Stars to the Stanley Cup Final last season.

The 35-year-old collected five goals and 16 assists over 57 regular-season games in 2019-20 before adding five markers and four helpers in 27 playoff contests.

Perry scored three times in the Cup Final, including the double-overtime winner in Game 5.

The longtime pest signed with Dallas in July 2019 after playing 14 seasons with the Anaheim Ducks franchise.

Perry won the Cup with the Ducks in 2007 and captured the Hart and Maurice "Rocket" Richard trophies in 2010-11.
