ANAHEIM, Calif. – Corey Perry looked slow shift-after-shift in the second half of Anaheim’s 3-2 Game 5 series clinching win over Calgary.
At the 4:13 mark of the second period Flames forward Matt Stajan slammed into Perry with a hip check that sent the Ducks star limping to the bench. He threw his gloves in the air and yelled in pain. Weight was absent from his leg. A knee injury? Hip injury?
Perry returned, but he didn’t look quite up to speed … until he scored the gam winning goal at the 2:26 mark of overtime.
