Montreal Canadiens winger Corey Perry has been a terrific piece for the Habs in their current postseason run.

The Canadiens signed the veteran on the eve of training camp to a league minimum contract of $750,000 for one year. He started the season on the team’s taxi squad and had to wait before being given a chance to enter the lineup.

Once he got in, he never allowed the coaches to take him out again.

The 35 year old winger brought tremendous depth to the Canadiens lineup.
