Edmonton Oilers News

Andersen is in the starter's crease at Carolina's morning skate.

The Hurricanes have kept Brandon Bussi in their netminding rotation despite the return of Pyotr Kochetkov, alternating all three goalies over the past week. That said, Andersen will likely be between the pipes on Tuesday against the Washington Capitals. The 36-year-old Andersen saved 21 of 24 shots (.875 SV%) in his most recent outing, a 4-3 win over the Minnesota Wild. He has a 2.97 GAA and .892 SV% in eight games this season (5-3-0). The Hurricanes enter Tuesday's contest as -157 home favorites against a Capitals team amid a two-game losing skid (0-2-0).

Kapanen has been placed on LTIR.

Kapanen has been sidelined for the last two weeks due to an undisclosed injury and has been retroactively placed on Long-Term Injured Reserve. The 29-year-old Kapanen was averaging 12:17 time-on-ice and had two points (0G / 2A) in six games before his injury. He is expected to return to the lineup at the beginning of December.

Janmark (undisclosed) will make his season debut vs. Columbus on Monday.

Janmark has battled an undisclosed injury since training camp and has yet to play this season, but will make his debut on Monday against the Columbus Blue Jackets. The 32-year-old Swedish forward has been effective in a bottom-six role for the Oilers of the previous three seasons, scoring 55 points (16G / 39A) in 217 combined games.

Mattias Janmark
Nugent-Hopkins (undisclosed) has been placed on IR and is expected to be out for a week.

Nugent-Hopkins played only 14:50 time-on-ice due to an undisclosed injury in Edmonton's most recent outing, recording a -4 plus/minus in an embarrassing 9-1 loss to the Colorado Avalanche. The Oilers have struggled early in the 2025-25 season, but have received ample production from Nugent-Hopkins, who has 16 points (5G / 11A) in 16 games. The 32-year-old forward is pacing for only the second point-per-game season of his career.

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins
Hyman (upper-body) is expected to return within one week.

Hyman missed the second half of last year's playoffs after enduring an upper-body injury and has yet to play in the 2025-26 season. At the beginning of training camp, Head Coach Kris Knoblach stated he is hopeful the 32-year-old can return in early November, a timeline that seems to be holding true, as Head Coach Knoblach stated on Friday. Hyman is just one season removed from a 54-goal campaign in 2023-24 and will hope to get off to a hot start when he is able to return.

Andersen will start vs. Minnesota on Thursday.

Pyotr Kochetkov (lower-body) made an impressive season debut in Carolina's most recent game, securing a 3-0 shutout win over the New York Rangers, but will serve as the backup to Frederik Andersen on Thursday as the team will seemingly return to the goalie rotation they have showcased over the past several seasons. Andersen has been serviceable, but unspectacular this season, posting a 2.96 GAA and .894 SV% in seven games (4-3-0). He saved 20 of 22 shots (.909 SV%) in his previous outing, a 2-1 loss to the Boston Bruins. The Hurricanes enter Thursday's contest as -190 home favorites against a Minnesota Wild team riding a two-game winning streak.

Jarry has played well this season but had a forgettable outing on Monday, allowing four unanswered goals in the third period en route to a 4-3 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs. He has a 2.60 GAA and .911 SV% in seven games this season (5-2-0).
