| Pos | Role | Name |
| C | 1 | Ryan Nugent-Hopkins  ActiveEdmonton Oilers head coach Dallas Eakins doesn't seem overly concerned about Ryan Nugent-Hopkins' recently slump. Nugent-Hopkins has just three points in his last 11 games. "Young players don't play at the same level every night, and he’s having a bit of a dip," Eakins said. "The good thing about Nuge is he's not frustrated by it, he's more inspired to get after it. He's not dragging his lip and playing the poor-me card. He's fighting to get better, and that's all we can ask. He’s engaged, he understands, and it's important that he be a critical, critical part of our forward group." We don't think his currently slump will last much longer. Mar 11 |
| 2 | Sam Gagner ActiveSam Gagner scored once and assisted on the other in the Oilers 4-2 loss to Los Angeles Sunday. After a very slow start to the season in which he missed the opening two weeks of the season as he broke his jaw during training camp, Gagner has 11 points in his last 12 games. Gagner is worth looking at late next season as most will look at this season and see only seven goals and 30 points with a minus-20 rating in 52 games. Mar 10 |
| 3 | Boyd Gordon ActiveBoyd Gordon was caught off guard when he was given credit for Edmonton's shorthanded goal on Sunday. The goal was the result of Patrick Kane accidentally scoring on his own net in an attempt to pass the puck back to the puck while Chicago's goalie was pulled due to a delayed penalty call. Gordon was on the bench when Kane scored, but he was determined to be the last Oilers' player to have possession of the puck. "I didn't hear them announce it. I wasn't paying attention, then Hemmer (Ales Hemsky) said 'hey, they gave the goal to you.' It still doesn't make any sense," said Gordon. "I thought they screwed it up and they were going to give it to (Mark) Arcobello. I also thought Marty (Marincin) might have touched it." Nevertheless it was Gordon's eighth marker of 2013-14. Jan 14 |
| 4 | Matt Hendricks ActiveMatt Hendricks scored a goal in Edmonton's 3-2 victory on Monday. In nine games with the Edmonton Oilers, Hendricks has already matched his goal total from 44 contests with the Nashville Predators prior to the trade. Unfortunately, all that means is he has scored two goals with each team. He now has six points and 74 penalty minutes this season. Feb 4 |
| LW | 1 | Taylor Hall ActiveTaylor Hall and Sam Gagner each scored a goal and assisted on one in the Oilers' 4-2 loss to the Los Angeles Kings in Edmonton Sunday night. Hall's goal was his 22nd of the season. Gagner's, his seventh. Hall, having a big season, now has 39 assists. Gagner's assist was his 23rd of the season. Mar 9 |
| 2 | David Perron ActiveDavid Perron netted the lone goal for Edmonton in its 2-1 loss to the Flames on Saturday night. Perron ended a six-game goal drought. With 23 goals, he's already set a career high in that department, and with 43 points, he should be able to best his 50-point mark he achieved in his second season. Sam Gagner and Jordan Eberle recorded the assists on the goal. Mar 2 |
| 3 | Ryan Smyth ActiveRyan Smyth passed Wayne Gretzky on the Oilers' all-time power-play goals list. Smyth scored his 126th power-play goal with Edmonton on Thursday. Of course, Smyth has played much of his 1,252 game NHL career with the Oilers while Gretzky was limited to nine campaigns with the team during their NHL days. That doesn't take away from the fact that Smyth's 126 power-play goals is impressive though and Smyth still seems rather happy with it. "He's got so many records, it’s nice to be past him for this one," Smyth said. Mar 7 |
| 4 | Curtis Hamilton ActiveCurtis Hamilton injured his knee during practice and will undergo surgery Tuesday. Hamilton was the Oilers' second-round pick in 2010 and was playing with Edmonton's AHL affiliate in Oklahoma City at the time of the injury. Next season is the final season of his entry-level deal and it remains to be seen if the Oilers will sign him to another contract. May 7 |
| 5 | Luke Gazdic ActiveLuke Gazdic's reputation as one of the best fighters in the NHL is gaining momentum. Gazdic knocked out the Flames Kevin Westgarth on Saturday and has scored decisive decisions over Clayton Stoner on Thursday and the Bruins Shawn Thornton before the break. "He's proving himself in his first year that he's an extremely tough customer," defenseman Andrew Ference said. Gadzic has 93 penalty minutes this season and has chipped in with a couple of goals and two assists. Mar 2 |
| RW | 1 | Jordan Eberle ActiveJordan Eberle grabbed a goal and an assist in the Oilers’ 4-3 shootout victory over the Wild. Eberle has tallied at least a point in four of his last five after going pointless in the five games prior. The 23-year-old has 21 goals and 50 points in 65 games this year. Mar 11 |
| 2 | Nail Yakupov ActiveNail Yakupov (ankle) is projected to be available for Tuesday's game against Ottawa. He didn't play on Saturday after suffering an ankle injury in Thursday's loss to Minnesota. Yakupov has 11 goals and 12 assists in 56 matches this campaign. Mar 3 |
| 3 | Ryan Jones ActiveThe Edmonton Oilers have lost six consecutive games and 11 of their past 13 and veteran forward Ryan Jones thinks it's foolish that management and coaches are taking heat instead of the players. "As a player you see the things that are said and written and it’s a Pass The Blame Game," he said. "The coaches and management don’t play the game. We play the same system as basically every other team in the NHL, it’s the players that lose. Yet they (coaches and managers) take the blame. It’s about time the guys in this lockerroom took a little bit of accountability on themselves and stopped letting other people take the blame." Jan 25 |
| 4 | Jesse Joensuu ActiveJesse Joensuu found the back of the net on Monday. It was Joensuu's third goal and fourth point in 32 contests in 2013-14. Nedless to say, he has no fantasy value in standard leagues. Jan 28 |
| 5 | Tyler Pitlick  SidelinedTyler Pitlick scored his first goal of the season on Saturday but then suffered a knee injury and did not return. Pitlick was selected 31st overall in the 2010 Draft and has a chance to crack the Oilers lineup this season on a permanent basis. He had a tough 2012-13 season as he suffered a concussion early in the season and then missed two months late in the year with a knee injury. The goal was the first of his NHL career but consider him day-to-day for now. Oct 27 |
| D | 1 | Justin Schultz ActiveJustin Schultz found the back of the net in Edmonton's 3-2 win over Buffalo. Schultz has recorded four points in his last five contests. That gives the sophomore blueliner eight goals and 24 points in 50 contests in 2013-14. Feb 4 |
| 2 | Andrew Ference ActiveFormer Bruins defenseman Andrew Ference will be playing his first game in Boston today since joining the Oilers as a free agent in the off-season. "It’s obviously a place where I spent a lot of time," Ference said following practice Friday. "My family grew up here, so the kids came back for this trip. They actually both went back to their old schools (Friday) with all their old buddies, so it’s pretty cool. They have a lot of roots here." Ference has been cleared to play after sitting out the previous three games with concussion-like symptoms. The Oilers captain smacked his head on the glass absorbing a hit against the Phoenix Coyotes a week ago. While the impact did not appear severe, it did enough to knock him out of the lineup. Feb 1 |
| 3 | Jeff Petry ActiveJeff Petry (head) returned to action on Thursday December 12. Petry missed Tuesday's contest due to the ailment. He had an assist and was on the ice for 20:00 minutes in Edmonton's 4-2 loss to Boston. Dec 13 |
| 4 | Philip Larsen ActivePhilip Larsen was called up from the minors on Thursday March 6. Larsen scored the game-tying goal in Edmonton's 3-2 win over the New York Islanders. He has two goals and seven points in 18 games this season. Mar 7 |
| 5 | Anton Belov SidelinedAnton Belov is expected to miss at least two weeks because of a partially torn oblique muscle. He missed Saturday's game with an illness. Belov has six points and 95 hits in 48 games this season. Mar 3 |
| 6 | Martin Marincin ActiveCoach Dallas Eakins hopes that defenseman Martin Marincin learns a lot at the Olympics from his Slovak teammate Zdeno Chara. Chara met with Marincin after Saturday's Boston-Edmonton game. "It was great for me to meet him," Marincin said. "He's a big guy for me, I really liked him growing up. We just talked about Sochi and how the season was going. I had never met him before, so that was exciting. Being on a team with Zdeno Chara will be great for me. I will try to learn from him and hopefully it will help me." Marincin will turn 22 during the Sochi games and has only one assist and a plus-one rating in 19 games since his recall in December but he does have some offensive upside. Feb 3 |
| 7 | Mark Fraser ActiveThe Toronto Maple Leafs have traded Mark Fraser from the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for Teemu Hartikainen and Cam Abney. Fraser has an assist and 33 penalty minutes in 19 games this season. The 27-year-old isn't worth owning in standard leagues. Jan 31 |
| 8 | Brad Hunt ActiveBrad Hunt was called up from the minors on Friday. It was the NHL debut for the diminutive defenseman who played his college hockey at Bemidji State. The Maple Ridge, BC native was minus-one in 10:53 minutes of playing time. Hunt had three goals and 15 points in 27 games for Oklahoma City of the AHL this season. He has no fantasy value. Jan 4 |
| 9 | Oscar Klefbom ActiveOscar Klefbom made his NHL debut on Tuesday. Klefbom had an assist in Edmonton's 4-3 shootout win. "I thought he was a little bit like Viktor. He struggled little bit early," said Oilers coach Dallas Eakins. "I think it was probably a case of nerves and the speed Minnesota has but . . . I thought by the third he looked like an NHL defenseman. That's encouraging." Mar 12 |
| G | 1 | Ben Scrivens ActiveThe Los Angeles Kings blasted their former goalie, Ben Scrivens, with 50 shots in their 4-2 victory over the Oilers in Edmonton Sunday night. And Scrivens was able to steer aside 46 of those 50 shots. It was a loss as he is now 12-10-4, but an impressive night nonetheless for Scrivens, whose GAA is now 2.10. His save percentage dropped to .934. Mar 9 |
| 2 | Viktor Fasth ActiveViktor Fasth was able to bounce back from a rough start on Tuesday. Fasth was making his Oilers debut and playing in his first NHL game since Nov. 18. He allowed three goals over the span of just over four minutes in the latter half of the first period. That put Edmonton down 3-0, but Fasth was solid after that and the Oilers managed to win 4-3 in a shootout. "I had three goals early in the game . . . it couldn't get worse than that. I just had to try and fight my way in to the game," said Fasth. "A couple of bad bounces but me being away from hockey for a couple of months didn't help either. I could have done better but we got back from that, we battled through the game. It feels really good to have played the first game and to get back into it. I'm really glad I'm on the ice again." He's not expected to play too much behind Ben Scrivens. Mar 12 |
| 3 | Kurtis Mucha ActiveKurtis Mucha will serve as the Edmonton Oilers' backup goaltender on Tuesday. The Oilers acquired Viktor Fasth on Tuesday, but he won't be able to arrive in Edmonton in time for the contest. Edmonton also dealt away Ilya Bryzgalov, so someone had to serve as Ben Scrivens' understudy. Enter Mucha, a 24-year-old netminder with the University of Alberta. He has a 1.87 GAA and .909 save percentage in 16 games this season. Mar 4 |
