The Corey Perry saga in Chicago has taken a surprising turn, causing widespread confusion since his sudden absence from the lineup last week. Initial reports suggested that the team had requested Perry to stay away, with his agent attributing it to personal reasons. However, recent revelations added complexity to the situation.

However, just hours after this rumor circulated, the Blackhawks' lead team reporter from NBC Sports Chicago issued a statement, debunking the speculation.
