Oilers' Zach Hyman: Won't play Wednesday
Hyman (undisclosed) is projected to miss Wednesday's game versus the Sharks.
Hyman unsurprisingly won't be in the lineup in a regular-season finale with no stakes. It's unclear if he'll play Game 1 versus the Kings in the first round, but getting him back in a top-six role would be a boost for an Oilers lineup that has been plagued by injuries lately.

Oilers' Connor Carrick: Returns to AHL
Carrick was reassigned to AHL Bakersfield on Wednesday.
The Oilers will have to play shorthanded on defense Wednesday versus the Sharks. Carrick could be back with the Oilers in the postseason to serve as a depth player, but it's unlikely he'll play.

Oilers' Leon Draisaitl: Officially ruled out versus Sharks
Draisaitl (undisclosed) will not be in the lineup against San Jose on Wednesday, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.
While Draisaitl won't be available for the regular-season finale, head coach Kris Knoblauch told reporters he expects the German winger to be back for Game 1 versus the Kings. Despite playing in just 71 games this year, Draisaitl still managed to top the 100-point mark for the sixth time in the last seven years -- with the lone miss coming during the COVID-shortened 2020-21 season.

Oilers' Troy Stecher: Unavailable Wednesday
Stecher (undisclosed) isn't expected to play Wednesday in San Jose, per Oilers play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels.
Stecher will finish the regular season with three goals, seven points, 27 PIM, 35 hits and 66 blocks in 66 appearances. Since Stecher, Mattias Ekholm (undisclosed), John Klingberg (lower body), Darnell Nurse (suspension) and Jake Walman (undisclosed) are all unavailable, Edmonton will dress just five defensemen against the Sharks.

Oilers' Jake Walman: Won't play Wednesday
Walman (undisclosed) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Sharks, Oilers play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels reports.
Walman will be unavailable for a fifth consecutive game for an undisclosed reason, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be available for the start of the playoffs. The 29-year-old finishes the regular season with seven goals, 33 assists, 145 blocked shots, 57 hits and 42 PIM while averaging 22:46 of ice time.

Oilers' Connor McDavid: Playing Wednesday
McDavid (rest) will suit up for the regular-season finale against the Sharks on Wednesday, Oilers play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels reports.
McDavid has played in just three of the Oilers' last 12 games but managed to garner nine helpers in that trio of appearances. The world-class center's absence Monday was deemed precautionary, so it shouldn't be a surprise to see him returning for the final game of the regular season. With just one more point, McDavid can reach the 100-point threshold for the eighth time in his 10-year NHL career.

Oilers' Stuart Skinner: Expected to start Wednesday
Skinner is set to start on the road against San Jose on Wednesday, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.
Skinner stopped 17 of 18 shots en route to a 4-1 win over Winnipeg on Sunday. He has a 25-18-4 record, 2.87 GAA and .894 save percentage over 50 appearances in 2024-25. San Jose ranks 31st in the NHL in goals per game with 2.57.

Oilers' Darnell Nurse: Handed one-game ban
Nurse was suspended one game Tuesday for cross-checking the Kings' Quinton Byfield on Monday.
Nurse will get some non-optional rest ahead of the playoffs for his misdeeds during the Oilers' penultimate game. Nurse won't play versus the Sharks on Wednesday, but this suspension allows him to return for Game 1 versus the Kings at the start of the playoffs. Jake Walman (undisclosed) or Connor Carrick will fill in on the blue line while Nurse is out.

Oilers' Connor Carrick: Brought up from AHL
Carrick was recalled from AHL Bakersfield on Tuesday on an emergency basis.
Carrick has accumulated 17 goals, 39 points and 87 PIM in 60 minor-league outings this season. With Mattias Ekholm (undisclosed), John Klingberg (lower body), Troy Stecher (undisclosed) and Jake Walman (undisclosed) dealing with injuries, and Darnell Nurse likely to be suspended, Carrick will probably play in Wednesday's regular-season finale against San Jose.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Beaten five times Monday
Pickard stopped 31 of 36 shots in Monday's 5-0 loss to the Kings.
The Oilers were extremely shorthanded Monday, so the 5-0 defeat wasn't shocking. However, the loss also snapped Pickard's excellent run of form. The 33-year-old veteran had won five of his previous six starts before Monday's meltdown. Pickard has posted a 2.58 GAA and a .907 save percentage over his last seven outings. The Oilers have one final game in the regular season when they face the Sharks on Wednesday, though it's unclear if Pickard will get the nod in that matchup.

Oilers' Darnell Nurse: Headed for suspension
Nurse will have a hearing with the Department of Player Safety on Tuesday.
Nurse was hit with a five-minute major and a 10-minute misconduct for his cross-check on LA's Quinton Byfield and now should be expected to receive at least a one-game ban. If the 30-year-old Nurse is suspended for more than one game, it will carry into the postseason, as the Oilers have just one regular-season game left. Unless Troy Stecher (undisclosed) or Jake Walman (undisclosed) is available for Wednesday's clash with San Jose, the team will need to bring a player up from the minors or dress just five defensemen.

Oilers' Noah Philp: Back to Bakersfield
Philp was reassigned to AHL Bakersfield on Monday, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.
Philp drew into the lineup three times in his latest NHL stint, recording no points and five shots on goal. With the Oilers managing a tight cap situation, it was necessary for the 26-year-old to be sent down ahead of the final two games of the regular season. Assuming he isn't recalled prior to Wednesday's contest versus the Sharks, he will finish his NHL regular season with two points, both assists, in 15 games.

Oilers' Derek Ryan: Sent down to minors
Ryan was reassigned to AHL Bakersfield on Monday, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.
Ryan was essentially a salary cap casualty for the Oilers, as his demotion and various injuries will force the team to utilize just 11 forwards against the Kings on Monday. In his 36 NHL games this year, the veteran center has generated just one goal and five assists. Even if he does rejoin the team for the postseason, Ryan is far from a lock to see minutes and could serve as a healthy scratch more often than not.

Oilers' Josh Brown: Brought up from minors
Brown was recalled from AHL Bakersfield on Monday, Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic reports.
Brown has one assist, five shots on goal, 13 hits and 11 blocked shots over eight NHL appearances this season. The 31-year-old Brown will replace Troy Stecher (undisclosed) in Monday's lineup versus the Kings.

Oilers' Jake Walman: Not playing Monday
Walman (undisclosed) won't be in the lineup for Monday's matchup versus the Kings, per Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic.
Walman will miss his fourth straight game but could be an option to return against the Sharks on Wednesday in the Oilers' regular-season finale. He has produced seven goals, 40 points, 164 shots on net, 145 blocked shots and 57 hits in 65 appearances between Edmonton and San Jose this season.

Oilers' Trent Frederic: In doubt for Game 1
Frederic (ankle) is questionable to play in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs versus the Kings, Oilers play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels reports Monday.
Frederic's timeline will see him miss the final two regular-season contests against the Kings and Sharks on Monday and Wednesday, respectively. The 27-year-old will have played just once in 22 contests since he was acquired from the Bruins on March 4. Even once given the all-clear, Frederic will likely be stuck in a bottom-six role, limiting his fantasy value in playoff pools.

Oilers' Mattias Ekholm: Will miss opening round
Ekholm (undisclosed) is not expected back until after the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, Oilers play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels reports Monday.
Ekholm was already considered out indefinitely, so this latest update is far from a surprise given his status. With Troy Stecher (undisclosed) and Jake Walman (undisclosed) also banged up, the Oilers find themselves very thin on the blue line and will need to get some healthy players back sooner rather than later.
