Oilers' Vasily Podkolzin: Tickles twine in win
Podkolzin scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Penguins.
Podkolzin has been strong in December with five goals and an assist over eight games this month. It's already his most productive month of the season, which has seen him rack up nine goals, 16 points, 55 shots on net, 102 hits, 11 PIM and a plus-13 rating through 34 outings overall. Podkolzin has earned his place on the second line with Leon Draisaitl, and that's an assignment that will likely keep the 24-year-old winger productive more often than not.

Oilers' Vasily Podkolzin: Five points in last five games
Podkolzin scored twice Saturday in a 6-3 victory over the Maple Leafs.
Podkolzin's first tally was the game-winner after Leon Draisaitl's shot caromed off his left knee and past Dennis Hildeby. Podkolzin potted another just 34 seconds later when he redirected Draisaitl's pass in the slot. Podkolzin is heating up. He has five points, including four goals, and 10 shots in his last four games. He may be on the wire given his overall stat line, which consists of eight goals, seven assists and 52 shots in 32 appearances.

Oilers' Vasily Podkolzin: Deposits goal in comeback effort
Podkolzin scored a goal on three shots, added three hits and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Sabres.
Podkolzin continues to be a strong supplementary player to the Oilers' stars. He's earned three goals and two assists over his last seven outings to make the most of his turn on the second line. For the season, the 24-year-old winger is at six goals, 13 points, 47 shots on net, 89 hits, 19 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating across 30 appearances. Podkolzin should be on the fantasy radar in most formats, especially those that reward the rough stuff.

Oilers' Vasily Podkolzin: Pots goal in big win
Podkolzin scored a goal and added three hits in Thursday's 9-4 win over the Kraken.
Podkolzin has two goals and an assist, as well as 12 hits, over his last five games. The 24-year-old put the Oilers ahead 2-0 just 17 seconds after Connor McDavid opened the scoring. Podkolzin's usage in a top-six role, in addition to his physicality, makes him intriguing in a variety of fantasy formats. For the season, he's at five goals, six helpers, 43 shots on net, 82 hits and a plus-7 rating through 28 appearances. He's on track to challenge for the first 30-point campaign of his career.

Oilers' Vasily Podkolzin: Nets eventual game-winner
Podkolzin scored a goal on two shots, added two hits and went plus-2 in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Panthers.
Podkolzin stretched the Oilers' lead to 4-1 in the second period. While they bent under pressure over the remainder of that frame, the lead held, with the 24-year-old's goal standing as the game-winner. He's picked up just four points over 12 outings in November despite primarily working on the second line. For the season, he's at four goals, nine points, 36 shots on net, 72 hits and a plus-6 rating. Podkolzin's on track to surpass the career-best 26 points he put up as a rookie with the Canucks in 2021-22.

Oilers' Vasily Podkolzin: Scores in Thursday's loss
Podkolzin scored a goal and added three hits in Thursday's 5-4 loss to the Blue Jackets.
Podkolzin has two goals and an assist over his last five games. The 24-year-old has been consistently in a middle-six role over the last few weeks, but he could lose some minutes with Zach Hyman (wrist) set for his season debut Saturday versus the Hurricanes. Podkolzin has three goals, eight points, 32 shots on net, 63 hits, 13 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 19 appearances, so he'll still bring depth scoring and physical play regardless of his place in the lineup.

Oilers' Vasily Podkolzin: Ends scoring drought
Podkolzin scored a goal in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Stars.
Podkolzin ended a six-game goal drought with a snap shot at the 3:40 mark of the first period, but the Stars completed the comeback and ended up winning after a thrilling shootout. Despite occupying a second-line role, Podkolzin has only two goals this campaign while posting a measly 7.7 percent shooting percentage through 15 appearances.

Oilers' Vasily Podkolzin: Two-point performance in win
Podkolzin scored a goal, added an assist and logged two hits in Thursday's 6-5 win over the Canadiens.
Podkolzin's goal with 1:09 left in the third period was the game-winner, and it was also his first tally of the season. The 24-year-old is up to four points, eight shots on net, 28 hits, six blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over eight appearances this season. He's been firmly in a third-line role with no power-play time, which will make it tough for the winger to carve out high-end offense. He had 24 points over 82 regular-season outings in a similar role last year.

Oilers' Vasily Podkolzin: Offers helper in win
Podkolzin notched an assist and three shots on goal in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Canucks.
The helper was Podkolzin's first point in two games this season. He's added four shots on net, eight hits and a minus-1 rating while filling a third-line role. Podkolzin had 24 points in 82 regular-season contests in 2024-25, often featuring in a second-line spot alongside Leon Draisaitl, but that's not something that's currently available with Draisaitl playing on the first line. As such, don't expect much offense from Podkolzin this year unless the Oilers shake up their lineup in a significant way.

Oilers' Vasily Podkolzin: Set to rejoin team Wednesday
Head coach Kris Knoblauch said Sunday that Podkolzin (personal) is expected to return to Edmonton on Tuesday, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.
Podkolzin will rejoin the team at practice Wednesday, though he won't play in that night's preseason game versus the Kraken. However, the 24-year-old will suit up against the Canucks on Friday, according to Brar. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Podkolzin should be good to go for Opening Night against the Flames on Oct. 8.

Oilers' Vasily Podkolzin: Stepping away from team
Podkolzin is stepping away from the Oilers on Wednesday for a leave of absence following the unexpected death of his father.
Podkolzin is set to return to Russia to be with his family. It is not yet clear how long he'll be away from the Oilers. The winger, who signed a three-year extension Tuesday, will slot back into a middle-six role when he returns to Edmonton.

Oilers' Vasily Podkolzin: Locked up by Edmonton
Podkolzin inked a three-year, $8.85 million contract extension with the Oilers on Tuesday, per Chris Johnston of The Athletic.
Podkolzin is receiving a considerable raise from his previous contract, which carried a $1 million AAV. The 24-year-old set career highs in assists (16), hits (211), and games played (82) during the 2024-25 regular season, and he'll remain a key piece in Edmonton's quest to win the Stanley Cup. The 2019 first-round selection could be a sleeper option in fantasy drafts if he sticks on a line with Leon Draisaitl, which was the case for the 2025 postseason. Podkolzin's new deal will begin in 2026-27.

Oilers' Vasily Podkolzin: Gets team's only goal in loss
Podkolzin scored a goal in a 5-1 loss to Florida on Tuesday in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals.
It was a matter of too little, too late -- Podkolzin drove the net and finally solved Sergei Bobrovsky at 15:18 of the third. It was Edmonton's first and only goal. He finished with three goals and seven assists in 22 games this postseason.

Oilers' Vasily Podkolzin: Two-point effort in win
Podkolzin scored a goal on two shots, added an assist, doled out five hits and went plus-2 in Thursday's 5-4 overtime win over the Panthers in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals.
Podkolzin had put up just one assist over his previous 11 games. While he's seen a larger role at times this postseason, he is currently occupying a fourth-line spot. The physical winger is at two goals, seven assists, 15 shots on net, 92 hits, 18 PIM and a plus-8 rating across 20 playoff appearances.

Oilers' Vasily Podkolzin: Garners helper Wednesday
Podkolzin notched an assist and five hits in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Panthers in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals.
Podkolzin set up a Viktor Arvidsson tally in the second period. The 23-year-old Podkolzin snapped his eight-game point drought in the process. While the scoring slump hasn't cost him a spot in the lineup, he has found himself in a bottom-six role lately. The winger has seven points, 11 shots on net, 79 hits, 18 PIM and a plus-7 rating over 17 playoff outings.

Oilers' Vasily Podkolzin: Pair of points in Game 2 win
Podkolzin scored a goal, dished an assist, added two hits, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 5-4 overtime win over the Golden Knights in Game 2.
Podkolzin factored on the Oilers' first two goals, giving them a lead at 15:18 of the second period after setting up a Jake Walman tally a few minutes earlier. The goal was Podkolzin's first of the playoffs, but he has added five assists over eight games in a bottom-six role. The winger also has 36 hits, 10 PIM and a plus-5 rating, bringing plenty of physicality to the lineup.

Oilers' Vasily Podkolzin: Garners helper Thursday
Podkolzin notched an assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Kings in Game 6.
Podkolzin picked up an assist in four of six contests during the first round. The physical winger added just three shots on net, 29 hits, 10 PIM and a plus-3 rating against the Kings. Podkolzin will need to maintain that toughness against the Golden Knights' gritty and skilled bottom six as the Oilers advance to the second round of the playoffs.

Oilers' Vasily Podkolzin: Adds assist in win
Podkolzin notched an assist and six hits in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Kings in Game 5.
Podkolzin has picked up a helper in three of the last four contests. Despite his success on offense, he has seen less than 10 minutes of ice time in three of those games, including a playoff-low 7:20 in Tuesday's win. The winger has added two shots on net, 27 hits and a plus-2 rating over five postseason appearances.

Oilers' Vasily Podkolzin: Helpers in consecutive contests
Podkolzin notched an assist and seven hits in Friday's 7-4 win over the Kings in Game 3.
Podkolzin has a helper in each of the last two contests. The 23-year-old forward has added 14 hits, two shots on net and 10 PIM over three playoff contests. He hasn't consistently been in the top six during the postseason, and that will limit his ability to get on the scoresheet regularly. Podkolzin still offers some fantasy appeal for his toughness, but don't expect steady scoring.

Oilers' Vasily Podkolzin: Generates assist in loss
Podkolzin notched an assist, three hits and 10 PIM in Wednesday's 6-2 loss to the Kings in Game 2.
Podkolzin helped out on a Viktor Arvidsson tally in the third period. The 23-year-old Podkolzin then earned a misconduct penalty later in the frame, which ended his game early. He spent much of the season in a middle-six role, but the return of Evander Kane gives the Oilers a more experienced physical winger to deploy. Podkolzin had 24 points over 82 regular-season contests, but he'll be hard-pressed to match that scoring pace if he remains on the fourth line.
