Oilers' Colton Dach: Logs helper with new team
Rotowire
Dach posted an assist and three hits in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Golden Knights.
Dach has played in the last two games for the Oilers since he was included in the trade that also sent Jason Dickinson to Edmonton.

Dach has a total of 10 points, 52 shots on net, 194 hits, 27 blocked shots, 47 PIM and a minus-17 rating over 55 appearances this season.

Oilers' Colton Dach: Included in trade to Edmonton
Rotowire
Dach and Jason Dickinson were dealt to the Oilers from the Blackhawks on Wednesday in exchange for Andrew Mangiapane and a 2027 first-round pick, freelance insider Frank Seravalli reports.
Dach's inclusion in the deal is a little curious, but it'll give the Alberta native a fresh start in his home province. The 23-year-old forward figures to be no more than a fourth-line option at best for the Oilers this season, and it wouldn't be a shock to see him get scratched or demoted to AHL Bakersfield, as he is still waivers-exempt.

Blackhawks' Colton Dach: Draws assist
Rotowire
Dach notched an assist, two shots on goal and six hits in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Bruins.
Dach saw 13:22 of ice time while being listed on the first line, though the left-wing spot alongside Connor Bedard has been a revolving door through two games. The helper was Dach's first point of the season to go with three shots and 10 hits. If his offense cooperates, he could be a burgeoning power forward in 2025-26, so fantasy managers in deeper formats will want to keep an eye on his usage.
