Ingram will patrol the home crease versus Florida on Thursday, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.

Ingram has won his last two starts, allowing four goals on 57 shots since being named the Oilers' No. 1 starter. He is 11-6-2 with a 2.71 GAA and an .895 save percentage over 22 games this season. The Panthers are 19th in NHL scoring, scoring 2.94 goals per game.

Emberson (undisclosed) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Panthers but could return to action over the weekend, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.

The 25-year-old continues to deal with an unspecified issue and will be unavailable for a fifth consecutive game, but head coach Kris Knoblauch's suggestion that Emberson is a possibility for Saturday's game against the Lightning suggests that he's on the cusp of returning. Emberson has appeared in seven games since the Olympic break, recording a goal, eight hits, seven blocked shots and two PIM while averaging 14:35 of ice time.

Kapanen (illness) will be a game-time decision Thursday versus Florida, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.

Kapanen has seven goals and eight assists over 28 games this season. The veteran has been seeing third-line minutes of late. If Kapanen is unable to go, Roby Jarventie, who was recalled from the AHL Bakersfield earlier in the day, will replace him in the lineup.

Graves (undisclosed) was recalled from a conditioning assignment with AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Thursday.

Graves' return could open the door for him to suit up against the Jets on Saturday -- though he'll need to be activated off injured reserve first. Additionally, the Penguins have a pretty stocked blue line, so Graves would need to edge out the likes of Ilya Solovyov or Connor Clifton for a spot in the lineup.

Ersson will guard the visiting cage in Los Angeles on Thursday.

Ersson has won his last two starts, allowing three goals on 47 shots in victories over the Rangers and Washington. Overall, the 26-year-old is 10-10-5 with a 3.30 GAA and an .863 save percentage across 27 games in 2025-26. The Kings are generating 2.63 goals per game this season, 28th in the NHL.

Dobes will patrol the visiting crease in Detroit on Thursday.

Dobes is 10-2-1 since Jan. 1. Overall, the Montreal netminder is 22-7-4 with a 2.93 GAA and an .892 save percentage across 33 appearances in 2025-26. The Red Wings are 20th in NHL scoring, averaging 2.91 goals per game this season.

Greaves is set to start Thursday's home game against the Rangers, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.

Greaves was in the starter's crease during Thursday's morning skate, and he'll draw a third consecutive start. He's been dominant over his last two outings, going 2-0-0 with a 0.96 GAA and .958 save percentage.

Wallstedt will tend the twine at home against the Blackhawks on Thursday, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.

Wallstedt hasn't secured a victory in six straight appearances, though some of those were brief relief outings. Still, the backup netminder is 0-2-2 over that stretch with a 3.09 GAA. While Wallstedt should get some opportunities in the stretch run, he is firmly cemented behind Filip Gustavsson as the No. 2 option in Minnesota.

Brink (upper body) is slated to return to the lineup for Thursday's game against the Blackhawks, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Brink has missed the last four games due to an upper-body injury, but it appears as though he'll be back in action against Chicago. Across eight appearances since the Olympic break, he's recorded a goal, two assists, eight hits and six blocked shots while averaging 15:50 of ice time.

Jarventie was summoned from AHL Bakersfield on an emergency basis Thursday.

Jarventie has spent the entire season at AHL Bakersfield, tallying 17 goals and 19 assists over 52 games. Edmonton was down to 12 healthy forwards, requiring the need for a callup from the minors. The Oilers placed Leon Draisaitl (lower body) on long-term injured reserve in a corresponding move.
