Oilers' Kasperi Kapanen: Scores lone goal in win
Kapanen scored a goal on five shots and added three hits in Wednesday's 1-0 overtime win over the Golden Knights in Game 5.
The Oilers continue to get contributions from unlikely sources, with Kapanen being the latest to make his mark this postseason. His goal 7:19 into overtime was his first tally since Jan. 23 versus the Canucks, ending a 32-game goal drought. The winger played alongside Leon Draisaitl in Wednesday's win, and this was just the second appearance of the playoffs for Kapanen. Given his clutch goal, it seems likely he'll stay in the lineup at least to start the Western Conference Finals.

Oilers' Kasperi Kapanen: Picks up assist
Kapanen notched an assist in Wednesday's 3-0 win over the Sharks.
Kapanen ended the regular season in a 31-game goal drought, adding just five assists in that stretch. He may not be guaranteed a spot in the lineup when the Oilers get to full health. Kapanen had 14 points, 66 shots on net, 88 hits and a minus-22 rating over 67 appearances between the Oilers and the Blues in the regular season.

Oilers' Kasperi Kapanen: Sends helper in win
Kapanen recorded an assist and three hits in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Golden Knights.
This was Kapanen's second assist over the last five games. He earned a bump up to the second line at even strength for this contest, but he was limited to 14:06 of ice time. Still, it's progress for the winger, who has been a healthy scratch on occasion this season. He's managed 13 points, 56 shots on net, 81 hits and a minus-18 rating through 59 appearances between the Oilers and the Blues.

Oilers' Kasperi Kapanen: Ends dry spell with assist
Kapanen notched an assist in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Kraken.
The helper ended a 12-game slump for Kapanen. The 28-year-old would likely be at risk of a healthy scratch if it weren't for the absences of Connor McDavid (lower body) and Leon Draisaitl (undisclosed). Even if Kapanen sticks in the lineup, he's unlikely to add much offense in a bottom-six role. He's at 12 points, 53 shots on net, 72 hits and a minus-17 rating through 55 appearances between the Oilers and the Blues this season.

Oilers' Kasperi Kapanen: Stuck in slump
Kapanen was held off the scoresheet for the eighth straight game in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Devils.
Kapanen's playing time has mostly held steady, though he's been scratched twice since the 4 Nations Face-Off break, including in Monday's game versus the Sabres. He checked into the lineup Thursday for Mattias Janmark (illness), but it's possible Kapanen will still have to battle with Max Jones and Jeff Skinner for fourth-line minutes when the Oilers' forward group is at full health. Through 50 outings this season, Kapanen has a modest 11 points, 51 shots on net, 71 hits and a minus-17 rating.

Oilers' Kasperi Kapanen: Produces assist Friday
Kapanen notched an assist in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Avalanche.
Kapanen ended a four-game slump when he helped out on a Corey Perry tally in the first period. The 28-year-old Kapanen continues to see limited minutes on the fourth line, but his place in the lineup is safe as long as the Oilers are only carrying 12 healthy forwards. The winger is at 11 points, 46 shots on net, 60 hits and a minus-11 rating over 42 appearances between the Oilers and the Blues this season.

Oilers' Kasperi Kapanen: Back in action
Kapanen (illness) is set to return to the lineup Saturday versus the Maple Leafs, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.
Kapanen missed Wednesday's practice and Thursday's game versus the Red Wings due to the illness. The 28-year-old will return to a fourth-line role, so Kapanen won't be a strong fantasy option for Saturday's slate.

Oilers' Kasperi Kapanen: Won't play against Detroit
Kapanen (illness) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Detroit, Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic reports.
Kapanen sat out Wednesday's practice session due to an illness, and the issue will force him to miss at least one game. Jeff Skinner will re-enter the lineup in his place Thursday, while Kapanen should tentatively be considered day-to-day ahead of Saturday's home game against Toronto.

Oilers' Kasperi Kapanen: Dealing with illness
Kapanen missed Wednesday's practice due to an illness, per Tony Brar of Oilers TV.
Kapanen has six goals, 10 points, 10 PIM and 54 hits across 38 outings between St. Louis and Edmonton in 2024-25. Jeff Skinner might draw into the lineup Thursday versus Detroit if Kapanen isn't available. However, it's also possible that Skinner will play regardless, and Kapanen might be scratched even if he ends up being an option.

Oilers' Kasperi Kapanen: Ends goal drought
Kapanen scored a goal on two shots, added two hits and went plus-2 in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Canucks.
Kapanen snapped his 10-game goal drought. He was recently scratched twice during the Oilers' most recent road trip, but he's gotten back into the lineup due to Connor McDavid's suspension. Kapanen is still in a bottom-six role that isn't likely to lead to much offense. The winger has six goals, nine points, 38 shots on net, 51 hits and a minus-10 rating over 36 appearances between the Oilers and the Blues this season.

Oilers' Kasperi Kapanen: Slings assist in win
Kapanen recorded an assist in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Blackhawks.
Kapanen has two assists over his last four games. He has just two shots on net over his last seven contests, which won't help him be more productive on offense, though he's also in a fourth-line role. The winger is at eight points, 33 shots on net, 42 hits and a minus-11 rating through 32 appearances between the Oilers and the Blues this season.

Oilers' Kasperi Kapanen: Puts up helper
Kapanen logged an assist in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Kraken.
Kapanen picked up his second helper as an Oiler by setting up Jeff Skinner for a rare fourth-line goal in the first period. The 28-year-old Kapanen has four goals and six points in 19 appearances with Edmonton this season. He is up to seven points, 33 shots on net, 40 hits and a minus-12 rating over 29 outings between the Oilers and the Blues this season. As long as he's logging bottom-six minutes, he won't be much of a fantasy factor.

Oilers' Kasperi Kapanen: Deposits goal Saturday
Kapanen scored a goal on three shots and went minus-2 in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Kings.
Kapanen has scored three times over the last seven games, but his role is continuing to shrink. He's been on the third line lately and doesn't have a path to power-play time. The 28-year-old has five goals, one assist, 31 shots on net, 37 hits and a minus-9 rating over 25 appearances between the Oilers and the Blues, and he's been able to at least consistently stick in the lineup since he was plucked off waivers.

Oilers' Kasperi Kapanen: Finds twine Monday
Kapanen scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Monday's 6-5 loss to the Panthers.
Kapanen has scored twice over the last three games. The 28-year-old winger tied the game at 5-5 in the third period, but Carter Verhaeghe put the Panthers ahead for good five minutes later. Kapanen is now at four goals, five points, 25 shots on net, 33 hits and a minus-6 rating over 21 appearances between the Oilers and the Blues this season. He has modest fantasy value as long as he's logging even-strength minutes alongside Leon Draisaitl.

Oilers' Kasperi Kapanen: Lights lamp in blowout win
Kapanen scored a goal and went plus-2 in Thursday's 7-1 win over the Wild.
Kapanen has moved around the lineup a bit since joining the Oilers. He was on the second line Thursday, and he benefited from a pass by Leon Draisaitl to set up the second goal, with Kapanen earning his first game-winning tally in an Edmonton sweater in the process. The 28-year-old winger is up to four points, 21 shots on net, 30 hits and a minus-5 rating over 19 outings this season, but he's earned three of those points over nine contests with the Oilers, so it looks like he's fitting in well as a depth forward.

Oilers' Kasperi Kapanen: Scores game-tying goal
Kapanen scored a goal, added three hits and blocked two shots in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Avalanche.
Kapanen continues to see time on the top line, and it's serving him well in Edmonton. He has two points over four appearances since the Oilers plucked him off waivers from the Blues. The winger is up to three points, 14 shots on net, 25 hits and a minus-7 rating across 14 appearances this season. Kapanen's not in the power-play mix with his new team, but a better assignment at even strength than what he saw in St. Louis could still unlock an uptick in offense.

Oilers' Kasperi Kapanen: First helper with new team
Kapanen produced an assist and two hits in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Rangers.
Kapanen helped out on the first of Connor McDavid's two tallies in the third period. While he was listed on the top line, Kapanen saw just 11:28 of ice time in his second game as an Oiler -- the team may be trying to see if he can hold a top-six role or if he'll be better suited to bottom-six minutes in the long run. The 28-year-old winger has one goal, one assist, 13 shots on net, 21 hits and a minus-6 rating over 12 appearances between the Blues and the Oilers this season.

Oilers' Kasperi Kapanen: Joins up with new club
Kapanen (not injury related) was on the ice with the Oilers ahead of Thursday's matchup with Minnesota, Bob Stauffer of the Oilers Radio Network reports.
Kapanen was struggling for regular minutes with the Blues, playing in just two of the team's nine outings before landing on waivers. With injuries pilling up for Edmonton, Kapanen looks poised to start out in a top-six role with his new team but could be dropped down the lineup once the club gets healthy.

Oilers' Kasperi Kapanen: Won't play Tuesday
Kapanen, who was picked up off waivers Tuesday, will join the team in Edmonton, which means he won't be ready to face Ottawa on Tuesday, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.
Kapanen was struggling to get into the lineup for the Blues, appearing in just 10 of their 19 outings this year in which he tallied one goal, 11 shots and 15 hits while averaging a mere 11:19 of ice time. Minutes won't be any easier to come by for the winger in Edmonton, especially once Viktor Arvidsson (undisclosed) is cleared to return.
