Chicago Blackhawks forward Corey Perry is away from the team and “will remain so for the foreseeable future,” general manager Kyle Davidson said on Saturday.

Perry, 38, has not participated in the past two games and did not practice with the team.

“Corey Perry has stepped away from the Chicago Blackhawks to attend personal matters,” Perry’s agent, Pat Morris, said in a statement. “Corey and his family appreciate prIvacy at this time.”

A former Hart Trophy recipient as the NHL’s MVP, Perry has totaled nine points (four goals, five assists) in 16 games this season.

Perry was acquired in a trade from the Tampa Bay Lightning in exchange for a seventh-round pick in the 2024 NHL Draft on June 29. He signed a one-year, $4 million contract with the Blackhawks the following day.

A 2007 Stanley Cup champion with Anaheim, Perry has totaled 892 points (421 goals, 471 assists) in 1,273 career games with the Ducks, Dallas Stars, Montreal Canadiens, Lightning and Blackhawks.
