  • Oilers' Tyler Benson: Waived Wednesday

    Benson hit the waiver wire Wednesday. Benson's pending demotion could be an indication that Jesse Puljujarvi (lower body) is ready to come off injured reserve for Thursday's matchup with Buffalo. The 23-year-old winger has appeared in 29 games for the Oilers this year in which he has garnered just two points, so few fantasy players are likely to be impacted by him being moved to the minors.

  • Oilers' Tyler Benson: Nets first NHL tally

    Benson scored a goal and went minus-2 in Sunday's 7-3 loss to the Wild. This was Benson's 30th career game, and he finally got his first goal, though it'll be a bittersweet memory given the result. The 23-year-old winger hasn't done much from a bottom-six role this season with two points, 16 shots on net, 37 hits and a minus-5 rating in 23 outings. Even with his former coach from AHL Bakersfield, Jay Woodcroft, now behind the NHL bench, Benson has struggled to keep his place in the lineup.

  • Oilers' Tyler Benson: Posts helper in loss

    Benson logged an assist in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Rangers. The helper was Benson's first point of the year, as he set up longtime minor-league teammate Ryan McLeod on the Oilers' lone tally. The 23-year-old Benson has added nine shots on net, 23 hits, six PIM and a minus-4 rating in 16 games this year. He's been a part-time player in the bottom six this year, often competing with Brendan Perlini and Kyle Turris for playing time.

  • Oilers' Tyler Benson: Frequent healthy scratch

    Benson has been a healthy scratch for 11 of the Oilers' 18 games this season. Benson appears to be in competition of Brendan Perlini for one spot on the fourth line, but neither winger has done anything notable this year. The 23-year-old Benson has three shots on goal, 10 hits and four PIM in seven appearances. He tore up the AHL last year with 10 goals and 26 helpers in 36 contests, but without an opportunity to make an impact at the NHL level, he'll continue to be a non-factor in fantasy.

Benson figures to continue featuring primarily in the minors this upcoming season.

  • Oilers' Tyler Benson: Back to bus league

    Benson was sent down to AHL Bakersfield on Thursday. Benson resided on the team's taxi squad in the early stages of the season, but he'll head to the minors hoping to earn another shot with the big club. The 22-year-old earned one assist in seven contests last season with the Oilers, so he's likely still a few years away from becoming a regular contributor at the NHL level.

  • Oilers' Tyler Benson: Headed home

    Benson has been recalled from his loan with the GCK Lions of Switzerland's National League. Benson was highly productive during his overseas loan, racking up 19 points in 15 games. The 22-year-old winger will attend the Oilers' training camp, but he'll likely spend most of the 2020-21 campaign in the minors, so he won't be a viable fantasy option.

Benson played in seven games for the Oilers in which he notched one assist, five shots and three hits while averaging 10:23 of ice time. The 21-year-old winger figures to rejoin Edmonton for training camp and could be a candidate for a spot on the 23-man roster, especially if the organization decides to part ways with Riley Sheahan and/or Tyler Ennis. If he does make the NHL roster, Benson figures to log the bulk of his minutes in a bottom-six role.
