Impact Tomasek tied the game at 1-1 late in the first period with the first goal of his NHL career. The 29-year-old has added two assists, 12 shots on net, five hits and a minus-1 rating across seven appearances. He's not a lock for the lineup, but he has received power-play time when he plays.

Earns assist in NHL debut Tomasek logged a power-play assist, three shots on goal and four PIM in Wednesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Flames.

Impact This was Tomasek's NHL debut, and he helped out on Leon Draisaitl's 400th NHL goal. The 29-year-old Tomasek was listed on the fourth line but saw 13:20 of ice time, seventh-most among Edmonton forwards in the contest. He's likely to be limited to a bottom-six role to begin with, and the Oilers' signing of Jack Roslovic on Wednesday could eventually cost Tomasek his roster spot altogether if they opt to keep rookies Matthew Savoie and Isaac Howard in the lineup.
