Top Oilers News

  • Oilers' Vincent Desharnais: Ready to play Tuesday

    Desharnais (undisclosed) told reporters he would be in the lineup against Montreal on Tuesday, stating "I'm good. I'm ready to go," per Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic.

    Desharnais is currently stuck in a 13-game drought during which he recorded a mere seven shots on net. While the blueliner won't offer much for offense, he does rack up plenty of hits and blocked shots, posting 27 and 21, respectively, during his scoring slump. With Desharnais back in action, Troy Stecher figures to remain a healthy scratch.

  • Oilers' Vincent Desharnais: Game-time call Tuesday

    Desharnais (undisclosed) figures to be a game-time decision versus Montreal on Tuesday after head coach Kris Knoblauch told reporters, "He looked good. Said he felt good. We will talk to the trainers and see," per Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton.

    Desharnais has appeared in 63 games this season for Edmonton, so his spot in the lineup should be relatively secure. Still, the team likely won't want deadline-addition Troy Stecher sitting around too long. If Desharnais can't play Tuesday, those bottom-four minutes almost certainly will go to Stecher.

  • Oilers' Connor Ungar: Signs entry-level deal

    Ungar signed a two-year, entry-level contract with Edmonton on Monday.

    Ungar posted a 20-6-0 record with a 2.15 GAA and a .932 save percentage in 26 games with Brock University in 2023-24. The 22-year-old netminder will report to AHL Bakersfield.

  • Oilers' Mattias Janmark: Generates helper

    Janmark notched an assist and two hits in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Avalanche.

    Janmark snapped an eight-game point drought with his assist on a Sam Carrick tally in the third period. With the Oilers adding Adam Henrique and Carrick at the trade deadline, Janmark has seen more usage on the fourth line recently. The winger has 11 points, 59 shots on net, 45 hits and a minus-5 rating through 54 contests this season.

  • Oilers' Corey Perry: Earns 900th career point

    Perry notched an assist in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Avalanche.

    Perry picked up the secondary helper on Sam Carrick's third-period marker. That assist was Perry's 900th career point, an achievement he reached in his 1,294th game. The 38-year-old winger has been solid in a bottom-six role for the Oilers so far. He's at 17 points, 54 shots on net, 31 hits and a minus-5 rating over 37 contests between the Oilers and the Blackhawks this season.

  • Oilers' Evan Bouchard: Supplies helper in overtime loss

    Bouchard notched an assist, eight shots on goal and four blocked shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Avalanche.

    Bouchard has four helpers over his last three contests. His eight shots Saturday were a season high in a single game. The defenseman is up to 64 points, 174 shots, 90 blocks, 55 hits and a plus-24 rating through 65 appearances. Bouchard should continue to produce steady offense while quarterbacking the Oilers' first power-play unit.

  • Oilers' Sam Carrick: Scores first goal with new team

    Carrick scored a goal and added three hits in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Avalanche.

    Carrick snapped a seven-game point drought with his third-period marker. The 32-year-old center has been in the lineup for four of the five games the Oilers have played since they acquired him from the Ducks. He's produced 12 points, 79 shots on net, 145 hits, 95 PIM and a minus-12 rating over 65 appearances. Carrick's main competition for playing time is Derek Ryan, as both forwards can kill penalties, though Carrick offers a bit more grit.

  • Oilers' Warren Foegele: Pockets goal Saturday

    Foegele scored a goal on four shots and added two hits in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Avalanche.

    Foegele has three goals and three assists over eight outings in March. He's seeing steady middle-six usage, though he's also received minimal power-play time this month, which makes his uptick in offense a little more impressive. The 27-year-old winger is at 16 goals, 35 points, 156 shots on net, 69 hits, 45 PIM and a plus-3 rating through 65 contests overall.

  • Oilers' Stuart Skinner: Makes 40 saves in overtime loss

    Skinner allowed three goals on 43 shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Avalanche.

    Skinner faced a sturdy challenge and came within a second of getting the game to a shootout. Sean Walker scored both goals in regulation, while Artturi Lehkonen won it late in overtime. Skinner has gone eight appearances without taking a regulation loss, and he's now at 30-13-4 with a 2.57 GAA and a .908 save percentage through 49 games this season. The Oilers have an easier matchup when they host the Canadiens on Tuesday.

  • Oilers' Vincent Desharnais: Undergoing injury evaluation

    Desharnais will be evaluated for an undisclosed injury sustained Saturday versus the Avalanche, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.

    Desharnais was used sparingly in the third period but didn't retreat to the locker room for treatment. He hasn't gotten on the scoresheet in 13 contests. If Desharnais misses time, Troy Stecher would step into a bottom-four role.

  • Oilers' Mattias Ekholm: Set to play

    Ekholm (illness) is set to return to the lineup Saturday versus the Avalanche, per the NHL media site.

    Ekholm missed Wednesday's game versus the Capitals, but that looks to be the extent of his absence. The 33-year-old will resume his top-four role while bumping Troy Stecher out of the lineup.

  • Oilers' Stuart Skinner: Facing Avalanche

    Skinner will be in the home crease versus Colorado on Saturday, per Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton.

    Skinner has won five of his past six starts, turning aside 166 of 176 shots (.943 save percentage). The 25-year-old netminder is 30-13-3 with a 2.57 GAA and a .907 save percentage. The Avalanche are tied for the top spot in the Central Division with the Stars at 89 points, and they have played one less game. Skinner has yet to face the Avalanche this season, but he was 1-0-1 last year, stopping 71 of 75 shots.

  • Oilers' Brett Kulak: Snags helper

    Kulak recorded an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-3 rating in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Capitals.

    Kulak snapped a four-game point drought with the helper. The 30-year-old defenseman has 13 points over 64 contests this season, with four of those points coming over seven games in March. He's added 72 shots on net, 56 hits, 59 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating on the year while filling a third-pairing role that's produced little fantasy impact.

  • Oilers' Ryan McLeod: Gathers helper in win

    McLeod recorded an assist and two PIM in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Capitals.

    McLeod saw just 10:42 of ice time in the contest, the lowest among the Oilers' forwards. There was no report of an injury, so his usage is concerning since he started the game on the second line. The 24-year-old has moved around the lineup a lot amid an inconsistent campaign, though he has five points over his last six outings. Overall, McLeod is at 25 points, 85 shots on net, 53 hits and a plus-14 rating through 63 outings. He's played best when on the second line, but getting back in that role with Adam Henrique around is going to be a challenge for McLeod.

  • Oilers' Adam Henrique: Earns first point with new team

    Henrique registered an assist, four hits and three blocked shots in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Capitals.

    Henrique helped out on a Connor Brown tally in the third period, well after the Oilers had taken control of the game. The helper was Henrique's first point in four games with the Oilers. His lack of a guaranteed top-six role like he had with the Ducks has predictably taken a chunk out of his scoring contributions. The 34-year-old is at 43 points, 115 shots on net, 66 hits, 62 blocked shots, 35 PIM and a plus-5 rating over 64 contests between the two teams. He was tracking toward a 50-point campaign prior to the trade, but that mark may be out of reach while filling a depth role for the Oilers.

  • Oilers' Evander Kane: Posts assist in blowout win

    Kane recorded an assist in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Capitals.

    Kane has three assists over his last six games, but that's all of his offense during a 12-game goal drought. The winger is competing with trade-deadline acquisition Adam Henrique for a top-six job. Kane is at 38 points, 187 shots on net, 206 hits, 70 PIM and a minus-6 rating through 63 appearances. That production plays in fantasy formats that value toughness, but his offense may not be steady if he routinely ends up on the third line.

  • Oilers' Ryan Nugent-Hopkins: Provides two helpers

    Nugent-Hopkins posted two assists, including one on the power play, in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Capitals.

    Nugent-Hopkins is in an eight-game goal drought, but he has six helpers in that span. The 30-year-old is up to 58 points (21 on the power play) with 138 shots on net, 30 PIM and a plus-10 rating through 63 contests this season. Whether he's centering his own line or playing alongside one of Connor McDavid or Leon Draisaitl, Nugent-Hopkins continues to return solid scoring for fantasy managers.
