Rotowire
Dickinson scored two goals in Monday's 4-3 win over the Ducks in Game 1 of their first-round playoff series.
Dickinson is not known for being an offensive force, but he found the back of the net on his two shots in this game and played a big role in a game where Connor McDavid went pointless for the Oilers. Dickinson is expected to play a defensive role in the playoffs, as he's key in penalty-killing situations, and he probably won't be a scoring threat for the Oilers in most games.

Oilers' Jason Dickinson: Out until postseason
Rotowire
Dickinson (leg) will be reevaluated ahead of the postseason, ruling him out for the next two games, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.
Dickinson is currently mired in a 13-game goal drought, and now he will have to wait until the playoffs before he gets another opportunity to find the back of the net. During his slump, the Ontario native has managed just 17 shots on net. He'd likely need to shoot more to end the drought, but his role is primarily a defensive one when he's in the lineup.

Oilers' Jason Dickinson: Nets first goal with Oilers
Rotowire
Dickinson scored a goal, served six PIM and dished out five hits in Thursday's 7-2 loss to the Stars.
Dickinson found the back of the net just under 12 minutes into the second period to grab his first goal with the Oilers.

Oilers' Jason Dickinson: Heading to Edmonton in trade
Rotowire
Dickinson and Colton Dach were traded Wednesday to the Oilers from the Blackhawks in exchange for Andrew Mangiapane and a 2027 first-round pick, freelance insider Frank Seravalli reports.
Dickinson is the Oilers' latest option to fill a true third-line role, which means Ryan Nugent-Hopkins should be a full-time winger moving forward. Dickinson has just 13 points in 47 outings this season, but he's added 51 hits and 36 blocked shots. Look for Dickinson to also receive ample time on the penalty kill with the Oilers.

Blackhawks' Jason Dickinson: Nets go-ahead tally Monday
Rotowire
Dickinson scored a goal and recorded three shots on net in Monday's 2-0 shutout win over Winnipeg.
Dickinson's tally over halfway into the second period would stand as the go-ahead goal in Monday's contest, with goalie Spencer Knight keeping Winnipeg off the scoreboard. With the twine finder, Dickinson is up to six goals, 10 points, 47 shots on net, 41 hits and 27 blocks through 36 games this season. While he has supplied four goals since Dec. 16, his offensive production has taken a step back from the consecutive 30-plus point regular seasons that he posted to begin his tenure in Chicago three campaigns ago. He still has time to reach the 20-point mark this year, but his lack of high-end category coverage likely leaves more desirable options available in deep fantasy leagues.
