As the third-oldest player in the NHL, Edmonton Oilers right winger Corey Perry is playing on borrowed time. He just turned 40 years old – only Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Brent Burns and St. Louis Blues defenseman Ryan Suter are older – and Perry has said he wants to play until he’s 45.

This is not Corey Perry’s first rodeo. Having turned 40 just two weeks ago, Perry is the oldest player remaining in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. And at his age, he’s still setting records.

Edmonton Oilers right winger Corey Perry continues to make his mark this post-season. The veteran recorded two points in Edmonton’s 4-1 win over the Dallas Stars in Tuesday night’s Game 4, which gives the Oilers a 3-1 lead in the Western Conference final.

Perry scored a goal in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Stars in Game 5.
