Oilers' Patrick Russell: Gathers assist
Russell registered an assist, three hits and two shots on goal in Friday's 6-2 win over the Senators.
Russell set up Darnell Nurse for the Oilers' third tally, which stood as the game-winner. The helper was just the second of the year in six appearances for Russell. He's filled in on the third line with Kyle Turris (COVID-19 protocols) out of action. Russell's limited role and lack of offense make him easy to leave on the waiver wire in fantasy.

Oilers' Patrick Russell: Called up to big club
Russell was promoted to the active roster on an emergency basis Tuesday.
The emergency conditions often signal that a player will be inserted into the lineup. The 28-year-old could suit up for his second game of the season in Tuesday's contest versus the Canucks. Russell recorded an assist and a shot on net over 8:48 of ice time in his lone appearance this season.

Oilers' Patrick Russell: Sent to taxi squad
The Oilers loaned Russell to their taxi squad Thursday.
Russell has been a healthy scratch for all but one of the Islanders' first eight games of the campaign, so this news doesn't come as a surprise. He'll likely continue to bounce between the taxi squad and the active roster throughout the campaign.

Oilers' Patrick Russell: Records assist in season debut
Russell notched an assist in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Jets.
Russell earned the primary assist on Adam Larsson's goal in the first period. The 28-year-old Russell also had a hit and a shot on goal. When he's in the lineup, the Dane will likely see fourth-line minutes, which limits his production too much for fantasy managers to notice. Russell had five assists, 64 hits and a minus-11 rating in 45 outings last year.

Oilers' Patrick Russell: Placed on waivers
Russell was placed on waivers Monday.
Russell is on the Oilers' roster fringe, so it's unclear where exactly he'll end up if he goes unclaimed on waivers. He featured in a fourth-line role last year with five helpers in 45 games. The 28-year-old winger may begin the year in the minors with AHL Bakersfield or on the taxi squad.

Oilers' Patrick Russell: Back for training camp
Russell's loan with Rungsted Seier Capital of Denmark's Metal Ligaen is over, as he is in training camp with the Oilers, Dustin Nielson of TSN 1260 reports.
Russell was a depth player for the Oilers last year, accumulating five assists and 64 hits in 45 appearances. It's tough to envision a way for the 27-year-old winger to see anything more than bottom-six minutes, especially with Jesse Puljujarvi back in the fold.

Oilers' Patrick Russell: Loaned to Danish club
The Oilers have loaned Russell to Rungsted Seier Capital of Denmark's Metal Ligaen for the beginning of the 2020-21 campaign.
Russell appeared in 45 games with the Oilers this campaign, picking up five helpers while posting a minus-11 rating over that span. The 27-year-old winger will be recalled ahead of next season's training camp, but he'll continue to be a rotational player without much offensive upside in 2020-21, so he won't be a viable fantasy option.

Oilers' Patrick Russell: Inks extension
Russell put pen to paper on a one-year, $700,000 deal with Edmonton on Monday.
Russell failed to register a goal in 45 appearances for the Oilers this season, though he did manage five assists, 58 shots and 64 hits along the way. The Dane won't offer much in terms of fantasy value next season considering his limited offensive upside.

Oilers' Patrick Russell: Press box regular lately
Russell has been a healthy scratch in his last five games.
As the Oilers have gotten players back from injury, Russell has lost his fourth-line role to James Neal. The 27-year-old Russell has just five assists to go with 64 hits and 58 shots on net in 45 contests this year. He's not likely to make an impact in fantasy.

Oilers' Patrick Russell: Snaps long drought with helper
Russell registered an assist in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Kings.
Russell set up Connor McDavid for the game-winning tally at 16:14 of the second period. The assist snapped a 20-game point drought for Russell, who now has five helpers and 53 shots in 42 appearances this year. He'll continue to serve in a limited, bottom-six role going forward.

Oilers' Patrick Russell: Drought continues
Russell is pointless in his last 18 games.
Russell is seeing consistent time in the lineup during Zack Kassian's suspension, but the former has yet to do anything with his opportunity. In Wednesday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Bruins, he skated just 3:31 in a fourth-line role, tallying a hit and a shot. He's at four assists, 53 shots and 61 hits through 40 contests -- the 27-year-old has almost no fantasy value.

Oilers' Patrick Russell: Still lacking offense
Russell has no points since Nov. 24.
The Danish winger has appeared in only 14 of the 27 games the Oilers have played in that span. Russell is stuck on four assists with 54 hits and 48 shots on goal through 35 appearances. The 27-year-old is a fringe player for the Oilers and a non-factor in fantasy.

Oilers' Patrick Russell: Playing time scarce
Russell produced four hits and two shots on goal in 10:46 during Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Predators.
Russell entered the lineup with Zack Kassian starting a two-game suspension. Russell has been a healthy scratch in the last six games. The 26-year-old Dane has 41 shots and 45 hits to go with four helpers in 31 appearances this season, but he's had a hard time getting out of the press box lately. With Jujhar Khaira seemingly in coach Dave Tippett's doghouse now, Russell has the opportunity to make an impact to earn more regular playing time.
