Ducks lock up Perry
Corey Perry is following Ryan Getzlaf’s lead yet again, sticking with the Anaheim Ducks for the long term. Perry agreed to an eight-year, $69 million contract extension with the Ducks on Monday night, keeping the former NHL MVP with the club through the 2020-21 NHL season. Perry’s new deal is the same length as the extension signed by Getzlaf earlier this month – the longest contracts allowed under the NHL’s new collective bargaining agreement. Just 10 days after signing Getzlaf to a $66 million extension, owner Henry Samueli signed a huge check for Perry, the goal-scoring beneficiary of linemate Getzlaf’s playmaking. – AP
