Michaels scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Kraken.
Michaels opened the scoring at 2:51 of the first period on a snipe from the bottom of the left-wing faceoff circle. The 24-year-old has taken advantage of his opportunities early in the year, with two goals, four shots, three hits and two blocked shots over three contests. He'll continue to fill in on the third line while the Oilers wait for injured forwards to return.

Michaels scored a goal and added two hits in Thursday's 9-7 win over the Canucks.
Michaels is filling a third-line role in the absences of Jason Dickinson (foot) and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (lower body). The goal was Michaels' first at the NHL level in just his second game. The 24-year-old forward was a solid producer in the NCAA, earning 26 points in 39 games with Western Michigan University in 2025-26. Michaels will need to perform well to keep his place in the NHL once the Oilers get healthy.

Rotowire
Michaels signed a two-year, $1.8 million contract with Edmonton on Monday.
Michaels signed a one-year, entry-level contract with the Oilers on April 2, but he didn't make his NHL debut. He had 13 goals and 26 points in 39 appearances with Western Michigan University during his junior year in 2025-26. It wouldn't be surprising if he started the 2026-27 campaign with AHL Bakersfield.
