Edmonton Oilers News

Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch added that Janmark is dealing with a chronic injury that will need some extended rest to heal. The Oilers will be forced to play with just 17 skaters on Thursday in Janmark's absence.

Ingram will get the tail-end of the Oilers' back-to-back as they look to bounce back from a disappointing loss in Anaheim last night. Ingram did appear briefly in relief of Tristan Jarry at the end of last night's game and was ultimately tagged with the loss, allowing one goal on four shots. The 28-year-old netminder has appeared in 14 games for the Oilers this season, posting a 6-5-1 record and an .895 SV%. Edmonton enters action on Thursday at -105 on the money line.

Henrique has been sidelined since the beginning of January due to an undisclosed injury, but has been activated from Long-Term Injured Reserve before Edmonton's game on Wednesday against the Anaheim Ducks. The 36-year-old Henrique had 10 points (2G / 8A) in 43 games before his injury.

McDavid led all players at the Olympics with 13 points (2G / 11A) in six games during Canada's Silver Medal Performance and will return to Edmonton's lineup on Wednesday against the Anaheim Ducks. The 29-year-old McDavid is having another outstanding season, leading the NHL with 96 points (34G / 62A) through 58 games. Even more impressive, McDavid has actually increased his production as the season has progressed, with 60 points (23G / 37A) in his last 31 games.

The Oilers hope the Olympic break gave Jarry a mental reset as the team prepares for the final two months of the regular season. The 30-year-old Jarry has left much to be desired since being acquired in a trade from the Pittsburgh Penguins, posting an ugly 3.64 GAA and .869 SV% in 11 appearances (6-4-1). Heading into the Olympic break, Jarry had allowed four or more goals in four straight starts (1-3-0). The Oilers enter the action on Wednesday as -126 road favourites against an Anaheim Ducks team that was 8-2-0 heading into the Olympic break.

Savoie had only played five NHL games heading into this season, but the 22-year-old forward has eclipsed those totals in 2025-26, playing in all 58 games. He is averaging 13:50 time-on-ice and has 18 points (9G / 9A).

Kapanen is not expected to play against the Ducks or Kings as he recovers from an undisclosed ailment, but head coach Kris Knoblauch said he will most likely play on Saturday in San Jose.

McDavid joined the Oilers in Anaheim on Tuesday and is expected to skate on Wednesday morning and then a decision on his game status will be made.

With the emergence of Connor Ingram in Edmonton's crease, Pickard had not played since January 8th and will now be assigned to Bakersfield (AHL) after clearing waivers. The 33-year-old Pickard struggled between the pipes this season, with a 3.68 GAA and .871 SV% in 16 appearances (5-6-2).

It's unclear when Dach suffered the injury, but he took just one shift in the second period before exiting the game for good. The 23-year-old forward has three goals and six assists in 51 games this season.

Frederic will draw out of the Oilers lineup and serve as a healthy scratch for just the third time this season. The 27-year-old winger has struggled mightily in his first full season in Edmonton, registering just two goals and one assist in 55 games.

Lazar will slot in on Wednesday as the Oilers opt to get some fresh legs into the lineup for the tail-end of their back-to-back. Trent Frederic will draw out of the lineup in his place.

The acquisition of Tristan Jarry has not stabilized the Oilers' crease the way they had hoped, but he will attempt to find his form on Wednesday against the low-scoring Calgary Flames. The 30-year-old Jarry has an ugly 3.59 GAA and .872 SV% in 10 games with the Oilers (6-3-1). Additionally, he has lost three of his last five (2-3-0), with a dreadful 4.77 GAA and .833 SV%. Still, the Oilers enter Wednesday's contest as -133 road favourites against a Flames team that has scored just 12 goals in its last seven games (2-4-1).

Andrew Mangiapane will draw back into Edmonton's lineup on Tuesday against the Toronto Maple Leafs, sending Lazar to the press box as a healthy scratch. The 31-year-old Lazar is averaging 9:01 time-on-ice and has five points (3G / 2A) in 33 games this season.

The acquisition of Tristan Jarry has not stabilized the Oilers' crease the way they had hoped, but they have surprisingly received adequate goaltending from Connor Ingram on most nights. That said, the 28-year-old Ingram has allowed eight goals on the last 42 shots he has faced (.810 SV%). Before that rough patch, Ingram was sporting an impressive 2.19 GAA and .917 SV% in nine games (5-3-1). The Oilers enter the action on Tuesday as -175 home favourites against the Toronto Maple Leafs, who defeated the Calgary Flames 4-2 last night to extend their winning streak to two games.

Leppanen is an undrafted 27-year-old Finnish defenseman playing his first professional season in North America. He has impressed with 20 points (3G/17A) in 28 games with the Bakersfield Condors (AHL).

Dach will take a seat on Friday as the Blackhawks opt to get some fresh legs into the lineup for the tail-end of their back-to-back. Dach has three goals and six assists in 50 games this season.
