    Oilers' Zach Hyman: Nets goal in loss

    Hyman scored a goal on three shots in Wednesday's 6-5 loss to the Ducks.

    Hyman put the Oilers ahead 3-2 late in the second period. The 33-year-old winger went into the Olympic break scoreless over his previous three aoutings, so it's encouraging to see him pot a goal during the team's first game back in action. For the season, he has 23 goals, 37 points, 122 shots on net, 37 hits and a plus-11 rating over 40 appearances, putting him just four goals and seven points shy of matching his output from 73 regular-season games in 2024-25.

  • Oilers' Ryan Nugent-Hopkins: Two-point effort in loss

    Nugent-Hopkins scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in Wednesday's 6-5 loss to the Ducks.

    Nugent-Hopkins picked up his first multi-point effort since Jan. 17 versus the Canucks. He has two goals and five helpers over his last seven outings. The 32-year-old plays a key playmaking role in the Oilers' top six and on the power play, so he should continue to pile up points. He's earned 14 goals, 47 points, 86 shots on net and a minus-5 rating through 50 appearances this season.

  • Oilers' Evan Bouchard: Goal, assist in Wednesday's loss

    Bouchard scored a goal on three shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 6-5 loss to the Ducks.

    Bouchard has four multi-point efforts in his last seven games, totaling five goals, 11 helpers and a plus-9 rating in that span. The 26-year-old defenseman should continue to play a huge role on the blue line for the Oilers while also quarterbacking the top power-play unit. For the season, he has 16 goals, 65 points, 164 shots on net, 79 blocked shots and a plus-13 rating across 59 appearances.

  • Oilers' Matt Savoie: Three points in loss

    Savoie scored a power-play goal on four shots and added two assists in Wednesday's 6-5 loss to the Ducks.

    Savoie made a big impact in his return to the NHL after a week-long stint in the AHL. The 22-year-old forward looks here to stay for the Oilers, as he's claimed a middle-six role. He's at 10 goals, 11 assists, 83 shots on net, 29 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 59 appearances this season. While that won't get him in the Calder Trophy discussion, Savoie will look to provide the depth scoring that is often hard to find for Edmonton.

  • Oilers' Connor Ingram: Saddled with loss in relief outing

    Ingram stopped three of four shots in relief of Tristan Jarry in Wednesday's 6-5 loss to the Ducks.

    Ingram will end up wearing the loss for this one, as Jarry was pulled with the game tied at 5-5. Ingram allowed the decisive goal to Cutter Gauthier late in the third period. Over his last five outings, Ingram has allowed 13 goals on just 72 shots, an .819 save percentage. He's at a 14-6-5 record with a 2.70 GAA and an .895 save percentage in 14 appearances this season. The Oilers haven't been getting enough quality in their crease regardless of who plays, so the door remains open for both Ingram and Jarry to claim the starting role if either one of them can string together good performances.

  • Oilers' Tristan Jarry: Pulled after leaking five goals

    Jarry allowed five goals on 25 shots in Wednesday's 6-5 loss to the Ducks.

    He deserved the loss, but Jarry was pulled after Beckett Sennecke tied the game at 5-5 in the third period. This wasn't a good look for Jarry, as he gave up some soft tallies in his fourth straight performance of at least four goals against. He's now at a 15-7-2 record with a 3.18 GAA and an .890 save percentage over 26 games between Pittsburgh and Edmonton this season, but his 3.85 GAA and .864 save percentage in 12 games as an Oiler paint a darker picture. If Jarry can't turn things around, he'll likely have to split the crease with Connor Ingram, who should be expected to start versus the Kings on Thursday despite making a relief appearance Wednesday.

  • Ducks' Mason McTavish: Bags apple Wednesday

    McTavish logged a power-play assist and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 6-5 win over the Oilers.

    McTavish missed the last five games of January due to an upper-body injury. He went scoreless in his first two contests back before the Olympic break, and he broke the brief drought by helping on Alex Killorn's tally in the second period of Wednesday's win. McTavish is at 31 points (seven on the power play), 110 shots on net, 57 hits, 28 blocked shots, 36 PIM and a minus-9 rating across 52 appearances this season. He'll likely play in a middle-six role for the rest of the campaign.

  • Chris Kreider LW | MON

    Ducks' Chris Kreider: Generates two assists

    Kreider notched two assists in Wednesday's 6-5 win over the Oilers.

    This was his second multi-point effort over three games in February after he had no such performances in January. The 34-year-old winger has revitalized his offense with the Ducks while seeing steady top-six minutes and power-play time. He's at 32 points in 51 outings, surpassing his 30-point total from 68 appearances with the Rangers last year. Kreider has added 97 shots on net, 45 hits, 20 PIM and a minus-3 rating in his first year with the Ducks.

  • Ian Moore D | ANA

    Ducks' Ian Moore: Puts away goal

    Moore scored a goal on three shots, blocked four shots and added two PIM in Wednesday's 6-5 win over the Oilers.

    Moore played in the AHL during the Olympic break, but he looks poised to play a noticeable role with the Ducks down the stretch. The 24-year-old defenseman has three points over his last seven contests, primarily in a bottom-four role. He's at a total of 10 points, 42 shots on net, 67 blocks, 20 PIM and an even plus-minus rating across 42 outings in his first full NHL campaign. Moore and Drew Helleson figure to compete for the last spot on the Ducks' blue line, but that's a battle that has tipped in Moore's favor for now.

  • Alex Killorn LW | ANA

    Ducks' Alex Killorn: Buries power-play tally

    Killorn scored a power-play goal on four shots and went minus-2 in Wednesday's 6-5 win over the Oilers.

    Killorn has three goals and two assists over his last six outings. The 36-year-old forward saw 22:31 of ice time Wednesday and figures to play a large role as a veteran leader in the top six as the Ducks look to keep pace in the playoff race. Killorn is up to eight goals, 19 points (four on the power play), 106 shots on net, 49 hits, 34 PIM and a minus-4 rating over 57 appearances.
