St. Paul, MN (SportsNetwork.com) - Anaheim Ducks forward Corey Perry left Friday's game against the Minnesota Wild in the first period.

Nearly halfway through the period, he was checked into the boards on the right wall by Minnesota defenseman Keith Ballard and had to be helped to the dressing room.

Perry, who had missed five games in November due to mumps, leads Anaheim with 14 goals and 22 points.
