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.
