Oilers' Jason Dickinson: Available for Game 4 in Anaheim
Rotowire
Dickinson (undisclosed) will suit up in Game 4 on Sunday in Anaheim, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
Dickinson was sidelined for the previous two games in this series after scoring two goals on two shots in a 4-3 win in Game 1 on Monday. The 30-year-old will center the third line between Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Jack Roslovic for this pivotal game in Anaheim before the series shifts back to Edmonton for Game 5 on Tuesday.

Oilers' Tristan Jarry: Making first start of postseason
Rotowire
Jarry will tend the road twine in Game 4 against the Ducks on Sunday.
Jarry will get his first start of the 2026 playoffs, as Connor Ingram started in the first three games of this series. The 30-year-old Jarry went 9-6-2 with a 3.86 GAA and an .858 save percentage over 19 appearances with Edmonton after being dealt from Pittsburgh. Jarry has made eight postseason starts in his career, going 2-6-0 with an .891 save percentage and a 3.00 GAA between 2019-20 and 2021-22 with the Penguins.
Oilers' Viljami Marjala: Trio of helpers for Bakersfield
Rotowire
Marjala logged three assists in AHL Bakersfield's 5-4 loss to Coachella Valley in Game 2 on Saturday.
Marjala has picked up five assists over two playoff contests in the first round. He added 17 goals and 43 assists over 72 regular-season outings. If Marjala keeps up that scoring rate in future years, it shouldn't take him long to get to Edmonton on a regular basis. The 23-year-old winger will look to add to his totals in a win-or-go-home Game 3 for Bakersfield on Sunday.

Oilers' Jason Dickinson: Game-time call for Sunday
Rotowire
Dickinson (undisclosed) is expected to be a game-time decision for Game 4 in Anaheim on Sunday.
Dickinson was also a game-time call for each of the previous three clashes of this first-round series. He got into Game 1, scoring two goals en route to a 4-3 victory over the Ducks, but he's missed Edmonton's last two matches. Dickinson had seven goals and 17 points in 64 regular-season outings with Chicago and Edmonton in 2025-26.

Oilers' Evan Bouchard: Deals pair of helpers
Rotowire
Bouchard notched two assists, including one on the power play, and added two shots on goal and a minus-3 rating in Friday's 7-4 loss to the Ducks in Game 3.
These were Bouchard's first two points of the playoffs. He's taken a minus-6 rating while adding four shots on net and three blocked shots. The 26-year-old led all NHL defensemen in the regular season with 95 points. He also added 221 shots on net, 101 blocked shots and a plus-25 rating. However, he's struggled defensively in the playoffs. Going into this spring, Bouchard collected 81 playoff points over 75 games across four runs.

Oilers' Leon Draisaitl: Notches two assists Friday
Rotowire
Draisaitl recorded two assists, including one on the power play, and added two hits in Friday's 7-4 loss to the Ducks in Game 3.
Draisaitl has opened the postseason with three straight multi-point efforts after missing the last 14 games of the regular season due to a lower-body injury. He's added six shots on net, three hits and a minus-1 rating. Draisaitl's doing his part against the Ducks and can continue to carry the team offensively, but the Oilers will need better defensive work across the board to avoid an opening-round upset. The Ducks lead the series 2-1.

Oilers' Vasily Podkolzin: Nets opening goal in loss
Rotowire
Podkolzin scored a goal on three shots, added five PIM, logged four hits and went plus-2 in Friday's 7-4 loss to the Ducks in Game 3.
Podkolzin has gotten on the scoresheet in all three first-round games so far, earning a goal, three assists, eight shots on net, 16 hits, a plus-4 rating and three blocked shots. His PIM Friday came from a fight with Jeffrey Viel late in the third period. Podkolzin continues to look effective on the second line, so he should offer some upside for fantasy managers looking for toughness in their playoff pools.

Oilers' Kasperi Kapanen: Scores in Game 3 loss
Rotowire
Kapanen scored a goal on two shots in Friday's 7-4 loss to the Ducks in Game 3.
Kapanen has three goals, an assist, 11 shots, seven hits and a plus-5 rating over three contests this postseason. He's been effective in a top-six role at even strength, though that hasn't come with any power-play time. Kapanen has seen action in seven prior playoff runs, accumulating 19 points over 50 outings. He was limited to 17 points, 65 shots on net and 75 hits over 41 regular-season contests in 2025-26.

Oilers' Ryan Nugent-Hopkins: Deposits goal in Game 3 loss
Rotowire
Nugent-Hopkins scored a goal on three shots and blocked two shots in Friday's 7-4 loss to the Ducks in Game 3.
Nugent-Hopkins put the Oilers ahead with a tally at 5:39 of the second period, though the lead lasted just under seven minutes. The 33-year-old was on the top line Friday after spending some time away from Connor McDavid at even strength to begin this series. Nugent-Hopkins has two points, three shots, three hits and two blocked shots over the first three games of the postseason. In his playoff career prior to this year, he earned 81 points across 96 outings over seven different postseason runs.

Oilers' Connor McDavid: Shows up to playoff party
Rotowire
McDavid scored a power-play goal on three shots, dished an assist, added two PIM, logged three hits and went minus-4 in Friday's 7-4 loss to the Ducks in Game 3.
McDavid got skunked on home ice in the first two games of the series. Even though that changed in Anaheim on Friday, the Ducks still got the better of the Oilers for a second straight game. McDavid is coming off a superb regular season of 48 goals, 90 assists, 306 shots on net and a plus-17 rating over 82 appearances. He's no stranger to the postseason, having accumulated 152 points over 99 contests. That includes leading the Stanley Cup Playoffs in points in three of the last four years. If he wants to have a chance at that feat again in 2026, he'll need to pick up the pace to help the Oilers get past the Ducks.

Oilers' Connor Ingram: Lit up in Game 3 loss
Rotowire
Ingram stopped 32 of 38 shots in Friday's 7-4 loss to the Ducks in Game 3. The seventh goal was an empty-netter.
The Oilers' defense let Ingram down in this one, and he didn't do enough to bail them out. With 14 goals allowed on 93 shots over three games in this first-round series, Ingram is playing far from his best hockey. It's unclear how much longer head coach Kris Knoblauch will tolerate this poor performance before considering a switch in goal, but Ingram is probably on the hot seat heading into Game 4 on Sunday. If Ingram gets benched, Tristan Jarry will take over the goaltending duties.
Dickinson (undisclosed) will not play Friday in Game 3 versus the Ducks, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
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 30-year-old's nagging injury is likely to be a factor at least through the rest of the first round, if not longer. The Oilers will roll with the same personnel, but with different line combinations, in Dickinson's absence Friday.

Oilers' Connor Ingram: Starting again in Game 3
Rotowire
Ingram will guard the road goal versus the Ducks in Game 3 on Friday, Patrick Present of The Hockey News reports.
Ingram allowed five goals on 27 shots in a Game 2 loss, but he'll get another turn between the pipes. He may be on a short leash for this one, as Tristan Jarry has some playoff experience even though he ended the regular season in poor form. Ingram has still been the better of the Oilers' goalies despite his shaky performance in the last game.

Oilers' Jason Dickinson: Game-time call Friday
Rotowire
Dickinson (undisclosed) is a game-time decision for Game 3 against Anaheim on Friday, per Tony Brar of Oilers TV.
Dickinson was also a game-time call for the Oilers' opening two playoff outings this year. He ended up playing in Game 1 but was held out of Game 2. Curtis Lazar will probably be a healthy scratch if Dickinson is available Friday.
Henrique (lower body) won't travel with the Oilers to Anaheim, per Ryan Rishaug of TSN, which rules him out for Game 3 on Friday and Game 4 on Sunday.
Henrique logged just 2:56 of ice time in Game 1 of Edmonton's first-round series against the Ducks because of the injury, and he didn't participate in Game 2. He had three goals and 15 points in 65 regular-season outings in 2025-26.
