VIDEO: Puck bounces in Perry's favor, records 1st multi-goal game
Corey Perry's luck appears to have changed after a painfully slow start to the season.
Heading into Tuesday's game against the Edmonton Oilers, Perry had recorded an uncharacteristically low goal total of two.
The Anaheim Ducks winger benefited from a fortuitous bounce in the first period, though, scoring his third after an attempted backhand pass went off a defenseman's skate and into the back of the net.

Later in the contest, Perry found himself alone in front of the Oilers' net, where he gathered a bouncing puck before going backhand shelf on Anders Nilsson.

The second goal marked a significant milestone in his career and the history of the franchise.

Perry still has some work to do in order to hit his usual 30-plus goal total, but his three goals have come in his last three games, signaling a possible turning of the corner.
