Oilers' Adam Henrique: Pivots to LTIR
Rotowire
Henrique was moved to long-term injured reserve Tuesday.
Henrique was shifted to LTIR in a corresponding move to Jake Walman (lower body) and Tristan Jarry (lower body) being activated by the Oilers ahead of Tuesday's game against Nashville. Henrique's move comes as no surprise, as the team had already reported that he would be out through the Olympic Break. With 10 points in 43 games this season, he'll look to get his campaign back on track once he returns to the lineup.

Henrique will be out for a minimum of nearly two months after getting hurt in Tuesday's 6-2 win over Nashville. The 35-year-old forward's absence will initially be covered by either Trent Frederic or Andrew Mangiapane, who were scratched Tuesday versus the Predators.

Oilers' Adam Henrique: Picks up pair of assists
Rotowire
Henrique notched two assists, two shots on goal, two hits, five blocked shots and two PIM in Thursday's 9-4 win over the Kraken.
Since his two-helper game versus the Mammoth on Oct. 28, Henrique had gone 16 contests with just two assists and a minus-6 rating. He matched that output by assisting on both of Matt Savoie's goals in this game, one shorthanded and the other on the power play. Henrique is at nine points, 47 shots on net, 18 hits, 40 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating through 28 outings this season. He's valued for his experience and defensive acumen, but Henrique will see most of his minutes in the bottom six, limiting his scoring potential for fantasy.

Rotowire
Henrique logged two assists in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Mammoth.

Oilers' Adam Henrique: Deposits goal in win
Rotowire
Henrique scored a goal on four shots and blocked two shots in Thursday's 6-5 win over the Canadiens.
Henrique gave the Oilers their first lead of the game, a 2-1 advantage midway through the second period. The 35-year-old has done a decent job from a fourth-line spot this season, posting two goals, one assist, 12 shots on net, 12 blocks, six hits and an even plus-minus rating through eight appearances. Barring injuries, Henrique is unlikely to get above the third line, so he won't carry significant fantasy value in most formats.

Oilers' Adam Henrique: Fills empty cage
Rotowire
Henrique scored an empty-net goal in Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Rangers.
The Oilers took the lead halfway through the game, and Henrique's empty-netter gave them breathing room with 1:08 left in the third period. The 35-year-old has started 2025-26 in a fourth-line role, but he's a defensive center who gets plenty of extra shifts to help protect leads. He's added four hits, five blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over three contests. Henrique had a fine 2024-25 regular season with 27 points in 81 outings, and he should approach a similar level this year.

He got back on the scoresheet Friday by helping out on the first of Connor Brown's two goals in the game.

Oilers' Adam Henrique: Nabs assist Wednesday
Rotowire
Henrique logged an assist and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 3-0 win over the Sharks.
Henrique has two goals and four assists over the last six games. The 35-year-old center has handled a larger role while the Oilers navigate a tough stretch of injuries, and he's been able to contribute more offense. His role will likely shrink once Leon Draisaitl (undisclosed) is healthy enough to play again. Henrique ends the regular season at 12 goals, 15 assists, 104 shots on net, 85 blocked shots, 58 hits and a plus-2 rating across 81 appearances. This is the first time Henrique has ever finished with less than 30 points in a full-length season -- his only two worse campaigns were in abbreviated years (2012-13 and 2020-21).

Rotowire

Henrique has earned five points over the last four games while seeing a bigger role amid the Oilers' recent injury woes. The 35-year-old's tally Sunday stood as the game-winner. He's now at 12 goals, 26 points, 102 shots on net, 81 blocked shots, 56 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 79 appearances. Henrique's value is as a defensive center, but he can chip in offense as well when called upon.
