Corey Perry's Place in the Lineup
Corey Perry is set to make his Edmonton Oilers debut on Saturday against the Nashville Predators. Perry was recently acquired by the Oilers from the Chicago Blackhawks, where he struggled to find his place in the lineup.

- Line 1: Connor McDavid – Leon Draisaitl – Zach Hyman
- Line 2: Evander Kane – Ryan Nugent-Hopkins – Jesse Puljujarvi
- Line 3: Derek Ryan – Warren Foegele – Mattias Janmark
- Line 4: Ryan McLeod – Devin Shore – Corey Perry

Conclusion
The addition of Corey Perry gives the Oilers another experienced player who can contribute in a variety of ways. While he may not be a top-six forward anymore, Perry can still be a valuable asset to the team's bottom six.
With Perry in the lineup, the Oilers have a more balanced and experienced team that should be able to compete with the best teams in the NHL.
