• Oilers' Derek Ryan: Snags assist

  7D ago • By RotoWire

  Ryan logged an assist in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Senators. Ryan's two helpers this season have come over the last six games. He's not facing a challenge for playing time since the Oilers are missing Viktor Arvidsson (undisclosed) and Darnell Nurse (upper body) and don't have much cap space to work with. The 37-year-old Ryan has added just 12 shots on net, 10 blocked shots, nine hits, eight PIM and a minus-2 rating through 18 appearances. He may eventually get pushed for his fourth-line spot once Kasperi Kapanen, who was claimed off waivers from the Blues, joins the team.

• Oilers' Derek Ryan: Hands out helper

  17D ago • By RotoWire

  Ryan produced an assist and two blocked shots in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Canucks. The helper was Ryan's first point of the campaign. He briefly lost his place in the lineup when Drake Caggiula and Noah Philp were up with the big club during Connor McDavid's absence due to an ankle injury. Ryan is safe for a fourth-line role as long as the Oilers are carrying only 12 forwards. He has supplied 11 shots on net, eight blocked shots, six hits, eight PIM and a minus-2 rating through 13 appearances.

  Ryan (undisclosed) only attended the late stages of Friday's morning skate and is regarded as day-to-day, per Tony Brar of Oilers TV. Ryan won't be in the lineup for the Oilers' last preseason game Friday against Vancouver, but he might recover in time for Opening Night versus Winnipeg on Oct. 9. He had five goals and 12 points in 70 regular-season games in 2023-24. He's expected to serve primarily on the fourth line this campaign when the 37-year-old is healthy.

• Oilers' Derek Ryan: Generates assist

  04/07/2024 • By RotoWire

  Ryan logged an assist in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Flames. Ryan snapped his 16-game point drought with a helper against his former team. The forward was scratched eight times during his slump -- he has been at risk of losing playing time since the Oilers acquired Adam Henrique and Sam Carrick from the Ducks at the trade deadline. Ryan's lack of offense, which has seen him put up 12 points and 46 shots on net over 68 games, makes him a non-factor in fantasy.
