As the second period was winding down, cameras captured Corey Perry engaged in a heated exchange with teammate Evander Kane. Perry appeared visibly upset, though the reason behind his anger remains unclear.

Former teammate Kevin Bieksa weighed in, stating that Perry’s behavior is out of character. Bieksa noted that Perry rarely displays such emotion towards his teammates, sparking speculation about what might have triggered his outburst.
“I can tell you from playing with Perry, he doesn’t do this very often. He doesn’t yell at teammates, he doesn’t get this fired up on the bench, he’s usually in his own little world,” said Bieksa.
 

 

Bieksa suggested that the altercation may have stemmed from a mistake made by Kane earlier in the period, possibly contributing to the tension between the two players.

While the exact details of the incident remain unclear, Perry’s unusual behavior has sparked discussion and raised concerns, particularly in light of his past experiences with the Chicago Blackhawks.
