Dach is expected to make his Oilers' debut on Friday vs. Carolina.

The Oilers acquired Dach and forward Jason Dickinson in exchange for forward Andrew Mangiapane and a conditional 2027 first-round draft pick earlier this week. A second-round pick in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft, Dach made his NHL debut in 2025, registering five goals and 11 assists across 78 games with the Blackhawks. He is expected to make his team debut on Friday against the Carolina Hurricanes.

Dickinson is expected to make his Oilers' debut vs. Carolina on Friday.

The Oilers acquired Dickinson and forward Colton Dach in exchange for forward Andrew Mangiapane and a conditional 2027 first-round draft pick earlier this week. In Dickinson, the Oilers are gaining an excellent two-way forward who should excel in a shutdown role and finally fill Edmonton's third-line-centre void. A former first-round pick way back in 2013, Dickinson has spent the last four seasons with the Blackhawks, developing into one of the league's more underrated defensive forwards. The Georgetown, Ontario native won't need to worry about obtaining a work visa and will make his Oilers debut on Friday when they host the Hurricanes.

Murphy will make his Oilers' debut vs. Carolina on Friday.

Edmonton, one of the NHL's worst defensive teams (3.38 GA/GP), acquired Murphy from the Chicago Blackhawks on Monday to help them shore up their blueline. In 60 games with Chicago this season, the 32-year-old Murphy averaged 16:34 time-on-ice, recording 13 points (4G / 9A), 62 hits, and 87 blocks. He will make his team debut on Friday against the Carolina Hurricanes.

Jarry will start vs. Carolina on Friday.

Jarry has not played since allowing five goals on 25 shots (.800 SV%) on February 25th in a 6-5 loss to the Anaheim Ducks. The 30-year-old Jarry has been shaky in an Oilers jersey, allowing four or more goals in five of his last six appearances (2-3-0), posting a dreadful 5.47 GAA and .823 SV%. The Oilers enter Friday's contest as +104 home underdogs against the Eastern Conference-leading Carolina Hurricanes, who have scored five or more goals in three of their last four games (3-1-0).

Ingram will start vs. Ottawa on Tuesday.

The Oilers continue to look for stability between the pipes and will turn to Ingam, who has been marginally more consistent than Tristan Jarry, on Tuesday against the Ottawa Senators. The 28-year-old Ingram allowed five goals on 33 shots (.848 SV%) in his most recent outing, a 5-4 loss to the San Jose Sharks. That said, he has a serviceable 2.55 GAA and .899 SV% in his last 12 appearances (5-4-1). The Oilers enter Tuesday's contest as slight -110 home favourites against a Senators team coming off a dominant 5-2 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs.
