Corey Perry is returning to Tampa Bay, as the Los Angeles Kings shipped the veteran forward to the Lightning on Friday in exchange for a 2028 second-round draft selection.

Perry, who has 11 goals and 28 points in 50 games this season, will be reunited with his former Lightning teammates from a stint with the club from 2021 to 2023. Tampa Bay reached the Stanley Cup Final in both seasons, recording consecutive losses.
