Corey Perry Taken Off Ice In Wheelchair
The newest Los Angeles King, Corey Perry, is off to an inauspicious start with his new team. He was taken off the ice in a wheelchair after an incident suffered while skating with his teammates at Toyota Sports Performance Center in El Segundo Friday night.

The play appeared to take place along the boards during his last skate of offseason workouts. The Kings have announced that he's already undergone knee surgery and that he will be out for six to eight weeks.

The 40-year-old Perry signed a one-year, $2 million contract as a free agent with the Kings earlier this summer, after a successful season and a half with the Edmonton Oilers. Perry scored 19 goals in 81 regular-season games last year, and really stepped it up as a crucial contributor for the Oilers in the playoffs, with 10 goals in 22 games.
Perry has already ingrained himself in the LA community, throwing out the first pitch at a Dodgers game last week.
