Corey Perry’s latest updates show him stepping away from the Los Angeles Kings to tend to a family matter, with no immediate return date announced. The Kings designated him to a non-roster status as he returns home, and two forwards were recalled from the AHL in anticipation of his absence. There have been other historical headlines about Perry’s career in Chicagoland and beyond, but the most current and verifiable development in early January 2026 centers on his temporary departure from the Kings and ongoing family-related absence.[1][2][5][8]
