Ducks agree 8-year deal with Corey

THE Anaheim Ducks have agreed on terms to re-sign right wing Corey Perry, matching the commitment they made to captain Ryan Getzlaf earlier this month, the team announced on Monday.

Perry, who has spent his entire National Hockey League career with the Ducks while playing alongside Getzlaf, will sign an eight-year contract, reportedly worth US$69 million, to equal the length of Getzlaf's latest deal.

Perry is currently serving a four-game suspension for an illegal hit last week that is set to end tomorrow.

He is among the Ducks team leaders with nine goals and 15 assists as Anaheim is on top of the Pacific Division with 46 points. The 27-year-old Perry also helped lead the franchise to a Stanley Cup in 2007 while capturing the Hart Trophy in 2011.

In the rink, Ray Emery stopped 17 shots to stay unbeaten this season and help the Chicago Blackhawks beat the Colorado Avalanche 5-2 in Denver on Monday night.

Jimmy Hayes and Andrew Shaw scored 57 seconds apart in the first period, Brent Seabrook contributed another and Jonathan Toews added a late insurance goal for the surging Blackhawks.
