Dickinson notched an empty-net goal and dished out two hits in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Islanders.
Dickinson found the back of the Islanders' empty net to secure his first goal of the 2026-27 campaign. Across five contests this season, the 31-year-old center is up to three points, a plus-2 rating, five shots on net, nine hits and four blocked shots. Dickinson has tallied a point in each of his two appearances since returning from an undisclosed injury. While injuries have kept him out of the lineup for a decent chunk of the last three seasons, he's displayed promising two-way value as a member of the Oilers' third line when healthy this season. He's best left on waivers for the time being, but he could work his way onto the fantasy radar if his current point streak continues to build.

Rotowire
Dickinson logged an assist, two shots on goal and four hits in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Flames.
Dickinson missed the previous six games due to an undisclosed injury. He's already battled a couple of issues early in the campaign, which isn't a positive sign given his physically demanding playing style. He has two helpers, seven hits, three blocked shots, four shots on net and a plus-1 rating over four contests.

Oilers' Jason Dickinson: Placed on injured reserve
Rotowire
Dickinson (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve by the Oilers on Thursday.
Dickinson has missed the past week after sustaining an undisclosed injury during last Thursday's morning skate.

Oilers' Jason Dickinson: Likely to return during upcoming homestand
Rotowire
The Oilers announced Friday that Dickinson (undisclosed) will likely return during the Oilers' upcoming homestand, which begins Tuesday against Minnesota, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.
Dickinson will miss a second consecutive matchup due to an undisclosed injury Saturday against the Mammoth, but he at least appears to be trending toward a return. The Oilers' five-game homestand begins Tuesday and runs through Oct. 28, so it's still possible Dickinson misses time beyond Saturday. Across three regular-season appearances this year, he's recorded no goals, an assist, three hits and three blocked shots while averaging 12:12 of ice time.

Oilers' Jason Dickinson: Status uncertain for Thursday
Rotowire
Dickinson's status for Thursday's game against the Mammoth is up in the air after he exited midway through the Oilers' morning skate for an undisclosed reason, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.
Dickinson missed the start of the regular season due to a foot injury, but he's been back in action for the past three games, recording no goals, an assist, three hits and three blocked shots while averaging 12:12 of ice time. It's unclear whether his early exit from Thursday's morning skate is related to his previous injury, but he'll presumably be monitored by the team's medical staff in the hours leading up to Thursday's puck drop.

Oilers' Jason Dickinson: Playing against Ducks
Rotowire
Dickinson (foot) will be in the lineup versus Anaheim on Wednesday, Oilers play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels reports.
Dickinson will make his 2026-27 season debut in a second-line role alongside Trent Frederic and Kasperi Kapenen. In 17 regular-season games against the Ducks last year, the 31-year-old center registered one goal, three assists and 21 shots while averaging 15:03 of ice time.

Oilers' Jason Dickinson: Nearing return to lineup
Rotowire
Dickinson (foot) is working his way toward full health and might make his season debut in Anaheim on Wednesday, per Jamie Umbach of the Oilers' official site.
Dickinson skated between Trent Frederic and Kasperi Kapanen on the second line during Monday's practice, which is a good indication that Dickinson is closing on being ready to suit up in a game. According to Umbach, Dickinson's teammates and head coach Mike Babcock are hoping the 31-year-old center will be ready for Wednesday's road divisional matchup against the Ducks. Dickinson will certainly help the Oilers defensively once he's in the lineup, as Edmonton has struggled in its own zone to begin the year. The Ontario native missed the entirety of training camp, however, so it may take him a bit to get up to game speed.

Oilers' Jason Dickinson: Expected to miss some time
Rotowire
Dickinson (foot) is still "a bit" away from being ready to return, head coach Mike Babcock told NHL.com on Tuesday.
Dickinson is expected to miss at least the first week of the 2026-27 campaign, but he could be unavailable for longer. In 64 regular-season games between Edmonton and Chicago in 2025-26, he posted seven goals, 17 points, 73 shots on net, 50 blocked shots and 85 hits.

Oilers' Jason Dickinson: Set to miss Opening Night
Rotowire
Dickinson will be sidelined indefinitely with an undisclosed injury, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports Friday.
Dickinson was expected to fill a bottom-six role for the club, a role that will likely go to Josh Samanski or Owen Michaels in the interim. While the 31-year-old center has reached the 30-point threshold twice in his career, he may be hard-pressed to repeat those numbers in 2026-27, especially if his injury lingers too long into the season.

Oilers' Jason Dickinson: Inks five-year contract
Rotowire
Dickinson signed a five-year, $20 million contract with Edmonton on Sunday.

Oilers' Jason Dickinson: Slated to be GTD
Rotowire
Dickinson (lower body) is considered a game-time decision for Thursday's Game 6 versus the Ducks.
Dickinson has been a game-time decision for every game of the postseason, and that's likely to continue as long as the Oilers' season is alive. He's played in two straight contests, so consider him likely to suit up again as the Oilers' season is on the line Thursday, though he was limited to 10:20 of ice time in Game 5 on Tuesday.

Oilers' Jason Dickinson: Adds helper in return
Rotowire
Dickinson notched an assist and two shots on goal in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Ducks in Game 4.
Dickinson's clearly not 100 percent, as he's missed five of the last seven games due to a suspected lower-body injury. The 30-year-old has picked up three points, four shots on net, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over his two playoff appearances, but his absence has diminished the Oilers' center depth. They're facing elimination in Game 5 on Tuesday, so Dickinson may need to play through the issue some more to keep the season going.

Dickinson has been labeled a game-time decision ahead of each contest of the postseason, but he'll be out of action for the second time in three games.

The Oilers will roll with the same personnel, but with different line combinations, in Dickinson's absence Friday.
