Perry (illness) is not skating at the Ducks morning skate.
Ryan Getzlaf missed the last two games and could be out again tonight, so if Perry can't go the Ducks will be without their two leading scorers. Consider him a game-time decision.

Corey Perry nursing upper-body injury after getting hurt in practice. Ducks head coach Bruce Boudreau said he would have played tonight but they're using caution.
Line Change
The Ducks will be even deeper and stronger Friday, when former league MVP Corey Perry returns from his four-game suspension for elbowing Minnesota's Jason Zucker in the head on March 12.
It will be Perry's first game since signing an eight-year, $69 million extension. Perry has nine goals and 15 assists in 25 games this season.
Corey Perry's 8 year deal with ANA is $8.625M AAV.
Perry will remain in Anaheim for the next eight years along with Ryan Getzlaf. The two have inked eight year deals this season for very similar money. Perry gets $69 million over eight years, while Getzlaf gets $66 million. Perry has 214 goals and 239 assists for a total of 453 points in 555 career NHL games, all of which have been with the Ducks.
Corey Perry gets a four-game suspension. #NHLDucks
Perry gets suspended for blindside, hit to the head on Minnesota Wild forward Jason Zucker. Suspension video on link.
But they're likely to lose Perry to a suspension for his hit on Zucker.
The NHL will likely rule on this tomorrow but wide speculation is that Perry will get at least a game for the hit. Perry was given a 5-min major and a game misconduct.

Perry remains questionable to play tonight. After scoring 50 goals last year, he has 34 tallies and 55 points in 69 games.
Per Ducks, Corey Perry scratched.
As expected, Perry won't play tonight. After scoring 50 goals last year, he has 34 tallies and 55 points in 69 games.
Boudreau said Perry and Sbisa are available but doesn't mean they'll play. Translation: Perry doubtful.
Doesn't sound like you should bank on Perry playing tonight. After scoring 50 goals last year, he has 34 tallies and 55 points in 69 games.
Corey Perry (shoulder) skated before practice and then first 15 minutes of practice. No word yet on availability vs. Detroit on Wed.
Perry skating is certainly a good sign but he has not real update on his status. The reigning MVP only missed last night's game and was a game-time decision.
Corey Perry (shoulder) is not on the ice at Pepsi Center while rest of Ducks are. Not good sign for availability tonight.
Sounds like Perry won't play tonight. After scoring 50 goals last year, he has 34 tallies and 55 points in 69 games.
Perry was in obvious pain on the bench and eventually went to the locker room before he tried to return to the first period. The winger could only play another two shifts as he would call it a night.
Perry is definitely banged up after last night's game. With the Ducks in the middle of a playoff run, expect him to try his best to stay in. After scoring 50 goals last year, Perry has 34 tallies and 55 points in 69 games.
“I see nothing wrong with two guys at the same level if they chose to drop the gloves,” Carlyle said. “When there’s a mismatch as far as the level of player…Dubinsky’s a pretty good player, and so is Corey Perry. If it’s a different level of player fighting a more skilled player then I look at it differently.”
Good to see coach Randy Carlyle will let Corey Perry fight at his leisure. Last season, the MVP fought twice according to HockeyFights.com; he might break that marker this season.
The Ducks’ “Big 3? hadn’t done much this preseason, until Tuesday. Perry scored twice and Getzlaf had the game-winner in overtime as the Ducks won their exhibition finale over Jokerit, 4-3.
Sounds like coach Randy Carlyle pondered breaking up the Big 3 in an attempt to get them going. Last season, Perry wowed hockey fans around the glob with 50 goals and 98 points. While the manner he scored those goals will be difficult to replicate, 35-40 tallies are to be expected.
