His routine is the same. He’s always the last player to leave the ice during pregame warmups and takes a rink-long shot at the opposing net before he hops through the tunnel into the dressing room.
Hockey players often alter things during a slump, maybe use a different stick. But Corey Perry said he hasn’t changed anything during a 15-game goal-scoring drought, his longest since his rookie season in 2005-06.
Perry loathes to talk about it, largely because there’s not much more to say. The scoring chances are there: He’s put 43 shots on net during the slump and is the Ducks’ co-leading scorer going into a western Canada swing that starts Thursday at the Vancouver Canucks.
