Oilers' Kasperi Kapanen: Out next two games
Kapanen (undisclosed) is expected to miss the first two games out of the Olympic break, Oilers TV reporter Paige Martin reports Sunday.
The Oilers open up the post-Olympic break schedule with a back-to-back set against the Ducks and Kings on Wednesday and Thursday. Kapanen scored a goal in back-to-back games prior to the break, so it's a bit surprising he's been ruled out coming out of the break. The 29-year-old has 12 points (five goals, seven assists) in 19 games played this season. His next chance to suit up will come Saturday in San Jose.

Oilers' Kasperi Kapanen: Lights lamp in Wednesday's loss
Kapanen scored a goal on four shots in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Flames.
Kapanen has scored in back-to-back games to begin February. The 29-year-old winger remains in a second-line role, where he's had plenty of success when healthy this season. He's up to five goals, 12 points, 39 shots on net, 38 hits and a plus-8 rating through 19 appearances. Kapanen has appeal in fantasy as a depth forward, particularly in formats that reward hits.

Oilers' Kasperi Kapanen: Pots goal in loss
Kapanen scored a goal on three shots and added four hits in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.
Kapanen has two points over four games since he returned from an undisclosed injury that cost him three contests. He's now at four goals, 11 points, 35 shots on net, 38 hits and a plus-7 rating over 18 appearances. He's been pretty good when healthy, but the 29-year-old presents plenty of injury risk. Still, his spot alongside Leon Draisaitl is worth taking the risk.

Oilers' Kasperi Kapanen: Picks up helper
Kapanen notched an assist, four shots on goal, three hits and three blocked shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Sharks.
Kapanen previously missed three games due to an undisclosed injury earlier in the month, and this was his second contest back in the lineup. The 29-year-old winger has seen limited action due to injuries this season, but he's earned 10 points, 30 shots, 32 hits and a plus-6 rating over 16 appearances. Kapanen is worth considering in fantasy as long as he maintains a top-six role.

Oilers' Kasperi Kapanen: Playing Monday
Kapanen (undisclosed) will face the Ducks on Monday.
Kapanen returns following three games on the shelf due to his undisclosed injury. In his last eight outings, the 29-year-old winger racked up three goals, four assists and 19 shots. With Kapanen back in the lineup, he should retake a top-six role, while Andrew Mangiapane will serve as a healthy scratch.

Oilers' Kasperi Kapanen: Likely shelved for one week
Kapanen is projected to miss roughly one week, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports Tuesday.
Head coach Kris Knoblauch confirmed that Kapanen won't miss a large chunk of time after he left Sunday's game. While he shouldn't miss more than a handful of games, the injury comes at an unfortunate time for Kapanen, who had just begun to gain traction with seven points over his last eight outings. If he is kept out of the lineup for the next seven days, a plausible return date for the 29-year-old forward would be Jan. 29 against the Sharks.

Oilers' Kasperi Kapanen: Injury not considered long term
Kapanen exited Sunday's win over the Blues due to an unspecified injury, but he isn't believed to be facing a long-term absence, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.
Kapanen recorded just 2:53 of ice time before exiting Sunday's matchup in the first period, and he didn't return down the stretch. Although head coach Kris Knoblauch said after the game that Kapanen wouldn't return immediately, the coach specified that Kapanen's current issue isn't believed to be as bad as some of the winger's previous injuries, so the hope is that he'll be back in action before too long. It's not yet clear whether he'll require a stint on injured reserve, but the Oilers may need to call up another forward unless they elect to roll with 11 forwards and seven defensemen.

Oilers' Kasperi Kapanen: Buries two goals in win
Kapanen scored twice on three shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Canucks.
Kapanen remained on the second line, working with Ryan Nugent-Hopkins instead of Leon Draisaitl (personal) in this contest. It worked out, as Kapanen earned his second multi-point effort of the season. Growing chemistry with another player could help Kapanen stay productive later in the campaign. He's at three goals, nine points, 22 shots on net, 28 hits and a plus-3 rating over 13 appearances.

Oilers' Kasperi Kapanen: Earns two points in return
Kapanen scored a goal on three shots, added an assist and logged five hits in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Predators.
Kapanen missed 36 games due to a lower-body injury, but he was able to shake off the rust quickly in a second-line role. He scored the Oilers' fourth goal and assisted Leon Draisaitl on the fifth one. With the effort, Kapanen is at four points, seven shots on net, 21 hits and a minus-2 rating over seven appearances this season. He may fly under the radar in fantasy due to his lengthy absence, but he's worth considering if he stays alongside Draisaitl moving forward.

Oilers' Kasperi Kapanen: Returning against Preds
Kapanen (lower body) is expected to be back in the lineup versus Nashville on Tuesday.
Kapanen will rejoin the lineup for the first time since Oct. 19 against the Red Wings, a stretch of 36 games on the shelf due to his lower-body injury. The 29-year-old winger looks set to take a second-line role alongside Leon Draisaitl, an assignment that should help Kapanen start producing offensively.

Oilers' Kasperi Kapanen: Returning closer to Christmas
Kapanen (lower body) will be back "around Christmas time," according to head coach Kris Klobach, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports Monday.
Kapanen has already been out of action for the Oilers' last 23 games due to his lower-body problem. When healthy, the veteran winger should be in the mix for a middle-six role, but that looks like it will have to wait until around the Christmas break. Given the extra time off, it would probably make sense to keep Kapanen out of the lineup until Dec. 27 versus Calgary.

Oilers' Kasperi Kapanen: Suffers setback
Kapanen (lower body) could miss several weeks after leaving Thursday's practice, according to Tony Brar of Oilers TV on Friday.
Kapanen had been nearing his return to the lineup before Thursday's setback. He has already missed the last 19 games, and his stay on long-term injured reserve may get extended further. Kapanen is undergoing more tests before the team decides how to proceed with his recovery.

Oilers' Kasperi Kapanen: Designated for IR
Kapanen (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Thursday.
Kapenen should be expected to miss at least the Oilers' next three games, though it could certainly be longer. Prior to missing Tuesday's clash with Ottawa, the 29-year-old winger was still looking for his first goal of the season while registering two assists, four shots and 16 hits while averaging 12:17 of ice time.

Oilers' Kasperi Kapanen: Won't play in Ottawa
Kapanen (undisclosed) will not be an option for Tuesday's road contest versus the Senators, according to Tony Brar of Oilers TV.
Kapanen is set to miss his first game of the season, as he was injured in Sunday's matchup against the Red Wings. The 2014 first-round selection has notched two assists and 16 hits while averaging 12:17 of ice time over six appearances this year. His next chance to play will be at home Thursday against Montreal.

Oilers' Kasperi Kapanen: Exits game Sunday
Kapanen (undisclosed) won't return to Sunday's game against Detroit, per Sportsnet.
Kapanen logged only 5:43 of ice time before leaving. He entered Sunday's matchup with two assists and 13 hits across five appearances this season. It's unclear at this time if he will be available for Tuesday's game against Ottawa, but David Tomasek or Curtis Lazar could fill in if Kapanen misses time.

Oilers' Kasperi Kapanen: Hands out helper Saturday
Kapanen notched an assist and six hits in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Canucks.
Kapanen has started 2025-26 in a third-line role with little usage on special teams. The 29-year-old often saw similarly limited minutes in 2024-25, when he had a total of 14 points over 67 regular-season games between the Oilers and Blues. He can provide a little physicality -- he's already at eight hits and two blocked shots over two appearances, but don't expect a significant spike in offense this year.

Oilers' Kasperi Kapanen: Signs one-year contract
Kapanen signed a one-year, $1.3 million contract with Edmonton on Monday, per PuckPedia.
Kapanen compiled six goals, 14 points, 66 shots on net and 88 hits across 67 regular-season appearances between Edmonton and St. Louis in 2024-25. He also added three goals and six points in 12 playoff outings with the Oilers. Kapanen should be in the mix for a middle-six role going into the 2025-26 campaign.
