Alex Formenton - Pots goal Saturday Formenton scored a goal on two shots, added four hits and blocked three shots in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Sharks.

Impact Formenton has filled a middle-six role with the Oilers this season. The 27-year-old has a goal, two assists, six shots on net, 13 hits, five blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over five appearances. His ice time is likely to decrease once the Oilers' forward group gets healthier, which could begin to happen if Zach Hyman (undisclosed) returns Tuesday versus the Kings.

Mattias Ekholm - Opens scoring Saturday Ekholm scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Sharks.

Impact Ekholm tallied the opening goal at 12:37 of the first period. The 36-year-old defenseman is seeing heavy minutes in a top-four role since the Oilers have gotten poor results from all iterations of their third pairing so far. Ekholm has two points, five shots on net, four hits, two blocked shots, 10 PIM and a plus-11 rating over five contests. He's topped the 30-point mark in each of the last five campaigns and should also maintain a strong plus-minus rating while recording a decent total in blocks.

Oilers defeat Sharks despite Celebrini goal in return | Edmonton Oilers McDavid, Podkolzin extend point streaks to five for Edmonton, which wins fourth straight

Macklin Celebrini - Lights lamp in return to lineup Celebrini scored his first goal of the season in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Oilers.

Impact The 20-year-old superstar missed the prior two games due to a lower-body injury, but Celebrini jumped right back into the swing of things in his return, spoiling Tristan Jarry's shutout bid midway through the third period. Celebrini's delivered six points in his first three games of 2026-27, as he looks to follow up on his 45-goal, 115-point breakout from last season.

Yaroslav Askarov - Sunk by Oilers on Saturday Askarov made 17 saves in Saturday's 3-1 loss to Edmonton.

Impact The young netminder didn't get much offensive support as he gave up at least three goals for a fourth straight start to begin the season. Askarov has managed to come away with a 2-2-0 record, but his .860 save percentage leaves a lot to be desired and could be opening the door for Alex Nedeljkovic to take on more of the work in the crease.

Vasily Podkolzin - Pots game-winner Saturday Podkolzin scored the game-winning goal in Saturday's 3-1 victory over the Sharks.

Impact The 25-year-old is taking full advantage of his spot alongside Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, as Saturday's tally was Podkolzin's fifth in five games to begin the season. He's racked up seven points in total, with three of those points (two goals, one helper) coming on the power play, and if he hangs on to his top-line assignment for any significant length of time, Podkolzin should blow past the career-high 19 goals and 37 points he produced in 2025-26.
