| Pos | Role | Name |
| C | 1 | Ryan Nugent-Hopkins  ActiveRyan Nugent-Hopkins had an assist in a 2-1 win against Minnesota. Nugent-Hopkins has 16 goals and 37 points in 60 contests in 2014-15. At his current pace, he won't surpass his career-high of 56 points, although he should reach the 50-point mark for the third time. We'll be looking for more from Nugent-Hopkins in 2015-16. Feb 25 |
| 2 | Derek Roy ActiveDerek Roy potted his fifth goal of the season in his hometown of Ottawa on Saturday night, but the Oilers fell in the capital 7-2. Hopefully Roy's goal at least created a nice memory as his parents were in the stands. It was also memorable as Bobby Ryan, the only one back on Roy's two-on-one break, tripped over his own skates going backwards in front of Robin Lehner. With the tally, Roy now has 10 points this season. Feb 14 |
| 3 | Anton Lander  I.L.Coach Todd Nelson said that the shoulder injury to Anton Lander may not be season-ending. Lander had shown some promise this season with 11 points in 22 games before a bum shoulder put him on the sidelines. Look for Lander to compete for the third line job next season in training camp. Feb 28 |
| 4 | Leon Draisaitl ActiveOilers GM Craig MacTavish argued that Leon Draisaitl's 37-game (not including scratches) stint in Edmonton this season wasn't a waste. "The games he played here are going to be really valuable," said MacTavish. "He leaves here knowing what he has to do to be more impactful. And he's going to get a great experience there. I think this is going to be extremely important for his development. I don't view his 40 games here as time wasted at all. I think it’s time well spent for him." MacTavish might be right, but that doesn't address where the criticism of his handling of Draisaitl lies. The issue is that by using Draisaitl in 37 games, the Oilers burned the first season of his entry-level contract and that might come back to bite them later. Had they limited him to nine games before returning him to the WHL then they would have delayed his first taste of restricted free agency. Jan 8 |
| 5 | Boyd Gordon ActiveBoyd Gordon scored the lone goal for the Oilers in a 2-1 loss to the Wild on Tuesday. It was Gordon's sixth of the year and second point in three games. He isn't a fantasy option in any format but was the only source of offense for the Oiler who had their chances in this game but got foiled by former teammate Devan Dubnyk. Just another night at the office for the Oilers this season. Jan 28 |
| LW | 1 | Taylor Hall I.L.Taylor Hall (leg) is expected to miss the next six weeks. At this point, any setback could end Hall's season, especially seeing as Edmonton has nothing left to play for in 2014-15. He has 11 goals and 30 points in 42 contests in 2014-15. That's certainly a big step down from his 80-point campaign in 2013-14, but we wouldn't get too discouraged. He's a great bounce back candidate for 2014-15. In the meantime, this is an opportunity for Teddy Purcell to play on the top line. Feb 10 |
| 2 | Benoit Pouliot ActiveBenoit Pouliot scored a pair of goals for Edmonton Tuesday and carried his teammates to a 2-1 victory over the Wild. Pouliot has been a pleasant surprise this season and has been one of the few Oilers to post a positive plus/minus rating. Jordan Eberle picked up assists on each of his goals in the contest. Feb 25 |
| 3 | Luke Gazdic ActiveLuke Gazdic (chin) returned to action on Saturday. Gazdic played only 7:08 in a losing cause, picking up one hit. He has a goal and an assist with 36 penalty minutes in 25 games this season. He missed a couple of games with the injury. Feb 22 |
| 4 | Rob Klinkhammer ActiveRob Klinkhammer picked up six more hits in Friday's 4-0 loss to Minnesota. Through 18 games with the Oilers the young ruffian now has an astounding 83 hits, 13 more hits than he had in 29 combined games with the Penguins and Coyotes. On the season Klinkhammer has collected 163 hits, good for 17th in the NHL, over 47 games with eight points and 17 PIMs. Feb 21 |
| 5 | Ryan Hamilton ActiveUpdating a previous item, Ryan Hamilton signed a two-year/two-way contract with the Edmonton Oilers on Friday. Hamilton has played the last five games for the Oilers and scored his first NHL goal on February 10. He had 15 goals and 29 points for Oklahoma City before his recall. "I was very excited to sign," Hamilton said. "I was real thrilled to be able to do that and get it done, I’m excited to be part of the organization." Feb 21 |
| 6 | Matt Hendricks ActiveMatt Hendricks (ankle) will suit up for the Oilers on Wednesday. He took a shot off his ankle against Montreal on Thursday, which kept him on the shelf for Saturday's match against Ottawa and Monday's game versus Winnipeg. Feb 18 |
| RW | 1 | Jordan Eberle ActiveJordan Eberle had two assists in a 2-1 victory against Minnesota Tuesday night. Eberle has had three multi-point games in his last six contests. He has 15 goals and 43 points in 61 contests in 2014-15. He's been superb since the start of 2015 with 22 points in 24 games and he should keep this up for the remainder of the campaign. Feb 25 |
| 2 | Teddy Purcell ActiveTeddy Purcell scored the lone goal for the Oilers on Saturday night in a 2-1 loss to the Ducks. Purcell got his goal 28 seconds into the second period. With eight goals and 27 points, Purcell is not worth considering in fantasy leagues. Nail Yakupov and Derek Roy set up the goal. Feb 21 |
| 3 | Nail Yakupov  SidelinedNail Yakupov will not play on Tuesday due to a tweaked groin. Oilers coach Todd Nelson described this as a precautionary move and emphasized that Yakupov is just day-to-day. The timing is unfortunate though as Yakupov has been red hot lately with four goals and eight points in his last eight games. With Yakupov unavailable, Matt Fraser is likely to take his spot on the second line with Derek Roy and Teddy Purcell. Feb 24 |
| 4 | Matt Fraser ActiveMatt Fraser and Keith Aulie will be scratched on Saturday night against the St. Louis Blues. There isn't much fantasy value here, unfortunately. Fraser has just a trio of goals with 44 hits through 24 goals this season. While Aulie, whose played just five times in the new year, has no points, 37 hits, and 53 PIMs this season. Feb 28 |
| 5 | Tyler Pitlick I.L.Tyler Pitlick (lacerated spleen) took part in some of Monday's practice. Pitlick hasn't been cleared for contact. There's no guarantee that he'll return before the end of the 2014-15 campaign, but he remains optimistic. "Everything is feeling good, I haven't been in any pain in a while, so that part is going good," said Pitlick. "And I'm getting on the ice. I just have to wait for my next scan and make sure everything is healed up and then I'll be able to take contact." Feb 24 |
| 6 | Iiro Pakarinen ActiveIiro Pakarinen has been summoned by the Oilers and will play in Wednesday's contest against the Penguins. With both Taylor Hall and Benoit Pouliot going down with injuries in Monday's game versus the Sharks, forward Iiro Pakarinen has been recalled from Oklahhoma City of the American Hockey League. He will take Hall's spot on the Oilers' top line with Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Jordan Eberle. Pakarinen hasn't played with the NHL club since November 13th but will get a quick spot start with Hall and Pouliot unable to play. Feb 4 |
| D | 1 | Justin Schultz ActiveJustin Schultz potted a goal for the Oilers in their 2-1 loss to St. Louis on Saturday night. There is still an outside chance Schultz reaches his career high of 33 points set last season, but with five goals, it’s unlikely he will get to 11. The goal was his first point in five games, and his goal was his first since Feb. 2. He has 23 points this season. Jordan Eberle and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins registered the helpers. Mar 1 |
| 2 | Andrew Ference ActiveIt will be interesting to see if the Edmonton Oilers move Andrew Ference before the trade deadline. Ference, 35, is signed through 2017-18, so there's certainly no urgency for the Oilers to trade him. At the same time, there's been questions about his effectiveness as the team captain and if the Oilers are looking to shake things up without moving any of their core players, trading Ference might accomplish that. He also has plenty of playoff experience, which makes him desirable for contending teams. Jan 23 |
| 3 | Jeff Petry ActiveThe Canadiens have spoken with the Oilers about Jeff Petry, according to ESPN’s Pierre LeBrun. LeBrun cautions he’s unsure whether it goes anywhere at this point. Petry has 15 points this season and is one of the top blueliners remaining in the market. Feb 28 |
| 4 | Nikita Nikitin I.L.Nikita Nikitin skated in practice for the first time since injuring his shoulder a month ago. Nikitin was wearing a yellow non-contact jersey so he is still not close to returning. Nikitin is hoping to return in a couple of weeks so stay tuned. Feb 28 |
| 5 | Mark Fayne ActiveMark Fayne scored his second goal of the season, though his Oilers fell to the Senators 7-2 on Saturday afternoon. Fayne hit the stat sheet with the goal, two shots, and two more blocks in his 17:20 of ice time, and 72 seconds of time on the kill. He now has seven points and 73 blocks this season. Feb 14 |
| 6 | Keith Aulie ActiveKeith Aulie and Matt Fraser will be scratched against the New York Islanders on Tuesday night. Aulie has played just four times since Dec. 14th, 2014, and only twice in 2015. Fraser meanwhile has just nine goals and 15 points in 68 career NHL games. Meaning neither have much of any fantasy value. Feb 10 |
| 7 | Oscar Klefbom ActiveOscar Klefbom was a minus-three Friday against the Minnesota Wild. The defenseman has been a minus-seven over the last five games and is now a minus-13 on a poor Edmonton squad. Klefbom is a good defenseman and is probably the Oilers best and if not, he will be in the next couple of seasons. He has two goals and 11 points in 38 games with eight points coming in the the 10 games preceding Valentine's Day. Feb 21 |
| 8 | Martin Marincin ActiveMartin Marincin will be a healthy scratch for Monday's game against Winnipeg. Matt Hendricks will miss the game with an ankle injury, while fellow fourth liner Rob Klinkhammer is away from the team so for personal reasons. Feb 16 |
| G | 1 | Ben Scrivens ActiveBen Scrivens set aside 25 shots in the Oilers’ 2-1 loss to the Blues on Saturday night. Scrivens has actually been pretty good over his past five games, though he has just two wins to show for three plus-.926 save percentage efforts. He has a 2.92 goals-against and .898 save percentage this season. Mar 1 |
| 2 | Viktor Fasth I.L.The Edmonton Oilers have placed Viktor Fasth (knee) on the injured reserve list. Fasth was hurt during Monday's contest, but the Oilers didn't practice on Tuesday or provide an update on his status. However, the team's website now lists him as being on the reserve, so it looks like he won't be available for Edmonton's next three games. They also activated Ben Scrivens. Feb 18 |
| 3 | Richard Bachman ActiveRichard Bachman replaced Viktor Fasth just 20:41 into Saturday's tilt with Ottawa, he fared no better by allowing four goals on 27 shots. It was another terrible game for Edmonton as they fell 7-2 in the nation's capital. It was his first NHL action since Nov. 2nd, 2013 against Detroit. Unless you're in a reverse league, Bachman's career 14-12-2 record with 87 goals against in 36 games won't help you much. Feb 14 |
