Edmonton Oilers News

Dickinson has been battling an upper-body injury, and missed practice on Saturday, setting him up to be a game-time decision on Sunday.

Howard has been held pointless in his first four NHL games and has seen his ice time decrease in the last two games. He'll be replaced by Curtis Lazar, who will be making his Oilers debut on Saturday.

Mukhamadullin was a surprise scratch on Friday, with the team not announcing his absence prior to warmups. Vincent Iorio will dress in his place.

Andersen will get the nod against his former team when the Hurricanes travel to Anaheim to take on the Ducks on Thursday. Freddie picked up the win in his last start, stopping 20 of the 23 shots he faced in a 4-3 overtime victory over the Flyers. He's a great bet to stay in the win column on Thursday as the Hurricanes enter action at -190 on the money line.

Walman signed a seven-year contract worth $7 million AAV at the beginning of October but has not played a game yet in the 2025-26 season. He is hopeful to debut on Saturday against the New Jersey Devils. The 29-year-old Walman had a goal, eight points and a +5 plus/minus in 15 games with the Oilers last season after being acquired at the Trade Deadline from San Jose.

The Penguins will hand Jarry the reigns between the pipes for the second time this season when they travel to Anaheim on Tuesday. Jarry was sharp in his season debut, stopping 34 of the 37 shots he faced in a 4-3 victory over the Islanders on Thursday. He's a decent bet to stay undefeated tonight as the Penguins enter action as slight underdogs at +120 on the money line.

Walman signed a seven-year contract worth $7 million AAV at the beginning of October but has not played a game yet in the 2025-26 season. He is hopeful to debut on Thursday against the New York Islanders. The 29-year-old Walman had a goal, eight points and a +5 plus/minus in 15 games with the Oilers last season after being acquired at the Trade Deadline from San Jose.

Regula is battling an undisclosed injury and will not play on Tuesday against the New York Rangers. The 25-year-old Regula has zero points and is averaging 15:54 time-on-ice through two games this season. Troy Stecher will draw into the lineup as Regula's replacement.

Dickinson did not play on Saturday due to an upper-body injury but will return to the lineup on Monday against the Utah Mammoth. The 30-year-old Dickinson's 2024-25 season was cut short due to an injury, limited to only 59 games while scoring 16 points (7G / 9A).

Dickinson did not play on Saturday due to an upper-body injury and could miss a second straight game on Monday against the Utah Mammoth. The 30-year-old Dickinson's 2024-25 season was cut short due to an injury, limited to only 59 games while scoring 16 points (7G / 9A).

Days after signing a seven-year, $49 million contract extension, Jake Walman has been placed on IR retroactive to the start of the season with an undisclosed injury. The 29-year-old will have to miss the Oilers' next game on Saturday vs. Vancouver, but his window to return will begin after that. He had a goal, eight points and a +5 plus/minus in 15 games with the Oilers last season after being acquired at the Trade Deadline from San Jose.

Despite an impressive 25-save shutout by Arturs Silovs in their 3-0 opening-night win over the New York Rangers, the Penguins will opt to rotate netminders early, turning to Jarry on Thursday against the New York Islanders. After a horrendous start to the 2024-25 season, posting a 3.10 GAA and .884 SV% in 22 games (9-9-4), Jarry spent two months in the minors before returning to the NHL and ending the season on a higher note, posting a 2.60 GAA and .904 SV% in 14 games to end the season (8-4-2). The 30-year-old Jarry hopes to start this season the way he ended the previous one. The Penguins enter Thursday’s contest as +116 home underdogs against an Islanders team that finished last season with the league’s fifth-worst offense (2.73 GF / GP).

The Hurricanes likely entered the season with the intention of Frederik Andersen and Pyotr Kochetkov splitting time between the pipes, but with Kochetkov battling an undisclosed injury, Andersen gets the easy call for their season-opening matchup against the New Jersey Devils. The 36-year-old Andersen has battled injuries recently and was limited to only 22 appearances last season (13-8-1), posting a 2.50 GAA and .899 SV%. The Hurricanes enter Thursday's contest as -167 home favorites against a Devils team that finished the 2024-25 season mid-pack offensively, averaging 2.95 goals per game.
