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' Ty Emberson: Logs helper Saturday
Emberson posted an assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Blackhawks.
The helper was Emberson's first point over five outings in January. He remains in a bottom-six role, but he doesn't look to be in danger of being scratched, as it has often been Troy Stecher or Josh Brown exiting the lineup instead. Emberson has produced six assists, 57 hits, 56 blocked shots, 34 shots on goal and a minus-3 rating through 40 appearances this season.

Oilers' Corey Perry: Puts away goal Saturday
Perry scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Blackhawks.
Perry, who was released by the Blackhawks last season, was able to get a little revenge on his former team by scoring the game-tying goal Saturday. The forward has three points and a plus-3 rating over his last four outings, matching his production from the prior 10 contests. He's at seven goals, seven assists, 40 shots on net, 23 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 41 appearances in 2024-25, offering modest depth scoring in a bottom-six role.

Oilers' Adam Henrique: Lights lamp in Saturday's win
Henrique scored a goal and added two PIM in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Blackhawks.
Henrique has three goals over his last three games. He has added just four shots on net in that span, so this doesn't look to be a sustainable burst of offense, but it's encouraging he's getting some reward for his effort. The 34-year-old center has a modest 13 points with 64 shots on net, 42 blocked shots, 25 hits and a plus-2 rating over 42 appearances this season.

Oilers' Zach Hyman: Scores, returns to top line
Hyman scored a power-play goal on four shots, added three hits and went minus-2 in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Blackhawks.
The goal was the game-winner in the third period, but more importantly, Hyman was back on the first line after Connor Brown dropped back to the bottom six. Hyman's production didn't suffer much despite the recent third-line usage -- he has a goal and five assists over eight outings since the holiday break. Overall, the winger has 14 goals, 25 points (nine on the power play), 104 shots on net, 34 hits and a plus-7 rating through 37 appearances. If he can stick on the top line, Hyman is poised to have a strong second half while playing alongside Connor McDavid.

Oilers' Vasily Podkolzin: Two points in Saturday's win
Podkolzin delivered a goal and an assist in Saturday's 4-3 win over Chicago.
It was the former Canuck's first multi-point effort since Dec. 12. Podkolzin is seeing some top-six minutes at even strength, always a plus on a roster with Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, and he's contributed two goals and eight points over the last 14 games. Without power-play time, however, that level of production might be Podkolzin's ceiling.

Oilers' Leon Draisaitl: Two helpers in comeback win
Draisaitl produced two assists, one on the power play, in Saturday's 4-3 win over Chicago.
After the 29-year-old superstar helped to set up Vasily Podkolzin for Edmonton's first tally early in the second period, Zach Hyman banged home the rebound on a Draisaitl wrister midway through the third for the game-winner. It was Draisaitl's third multi-point performance in the last four games, and he's failed to get onto the scoresheet only once in his last 17 appearances, piling up 14 goals and 31 points over that impressive stretch.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Rallies for win No. 10
Pickard turned aside 19 shots in Saturday's 4-3 win over Chicago.
The veteran netminder looked a little sluggish in the first period, reacting a heartbeat too slowly and allowing short-side goals to Teuvo Teravainen and Nick Foligno, but Pickard got his bearings and shut the door over the second half of the game as the Oilers mounted a comeback from a 3-1 deficit. He has just one regulation loss since the beginning of December over seven appearances, and on the season Pickard is 10-4-0 with a 2.50 GAA and .896 save percentage.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Starting in Chicago
Pickard will guard the road goal versus the Blackhawks on Saturday, according to Tony Brar of Oilers TV.
Pickard has won five of his last six starts, surrendering 15 goals on 154 shots. He has a 9-4-0 record with a 2.46 GAA and an .898 save percentage through 15 appearances this season. Chicago sits 29th in the league with 2.55 goals per game in 2024-25.

Oilers' Mattias Ekholm: Adds helper Thursday
Ekholm logged an assist and two hits in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Penguins.
Ekholm ended a three-game slump with the helper. The 34-year-old defenseman had a great October on offense, but his scoring contributions since have been less consistent. He's at six goals, 12 helpers, 95 shots on net, 60 blocked shots, 30 hits and a plus-15 rating through 41 appearances in a top-four role. Ekholm is likely to fall short of his 45-point regular season from 2023-24.

Oilers' Leon Draisaitl: Scores two goals Thursday
Draisaitl scored two goals in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Penguins. He also recorded seven shots on goal, one hit and a plus-1 rating.
Draisaitl went pointless in the 4-0 win over the Bruins on Tuesday, but he bounced back admirably with a two-goal effort Thursday. This was the sixth time he scored at least twice in the current campaign, and it extended a blistering stretch of form for the 29-year-old star center. Over his last 20 games, Draisaitl has racked up 33 points with 16 goals and 17 assists in that span.

Oilers' Evander Kane: Undergoes knee surgery
Kane (hip) had knee surgery Thursday and will be sidelined for another 4-8 weeks.
At this point, the earliest Kane might be able to return would be after the February break for the 4 Nations Face-Off, but that would be on the low end of his newly established timeline. The 33-year-old winger hasn't played since June 10 against the Panthers, having missed all of 2024-25 thus far following offseason hip surgery. Even once cleared to play, Kane figures to have significant rust to shake off, so fantasy players, especially in re-draft formats, may not want to jump on the Kane bandwagon immediately.

Oilers' Connor McDavid: Records three assists Thursday
McDavid recorded three assists, including one on the power play, in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Penguins.
The star playmaker was involved directly in each of the team's three goals in this loss, but his stellar efforts weren't enough to avoid the defeat. McDavid opened the 2025 calendar year with back-to-back pointless efforts, but he's bounced back with four points over his last two contests (one goal, three helpers). The 27-year-old world-class center is having another stellar season, putting up 27 points (four goals, 23 assists) since the beginning of December and 58 total points in 38 outings in the entire campaign.

Oilers' Ryan Nugent-Hopkins: Point streak reaches five games
Nugent-Hopkins scored a power-play goal in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Penguins.
Nugent-Hopkins found the twine with his lone shot on goal, giving him 11 on the year while also extending his current point streak to five games. During that stretch, the 31-year-old winger has racked up four goals, one assist, 11 shots on goal and two blocked shots.

Oilers' Stuart Skinner: Gives up five goals Thursday
Skinner made 21 saves in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Penguins.
Skinner was coming off three straight outstanding performances, but he didn't look good Thursday and saw the end of his three-game winning run. This was Skinner's first loss in regulation since Dec. 16, when he allowed six goals in a 6-5 loss to the Panthers. Between losses, the 26-year-old had posted a 5-0-1 record with a 1.67 GAA and a .937 save percentage across six appearances.

Oilers' Stuart Skinner: Draws start in Pittsburgh
Skinner will protect the visiting blue paint in Pittsburgh on Thursday, according to Tony Brar of Oilers TV.
Skinner has been outstanding of late, going 10-2-1 with a 2.01 GAA and a .928 save percentage in his last 13 starts. Skinner got off to another slow start to begin the year, reminiscent of last season, but has come back strong once again, as he is 16-8-3 with a 2.68 GAA and a .902 save percentage through 27 starts. The Penguins are averaging 3.02 goals per game in 2024-25, which is tied for 15th in the NHL.
