Notches helper in loss Bear posted an assist, three hits and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.
Impact Bear set up Connor McDavid for the Oilers' second and final goal of the game. While he was in head coach Dave Tippett's doghouse for defensive lapses, Bear has done reasonably well since he was scratched for Monday's game against the Canadiens. The 23-year-old blueliner has two assists, five blocked shots, six hits and a plus-4 rating in five appearances.

Snags assist Bear had an assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Canucks.
Impact Bear started a sequence that ended with his defense partner Darnell Nurse burying the Oilers' second goal of the game. That pairing is expected to see the most work in 2020-21 -- Bear skated 23:11 in Wednesday's contest. While it remains to be seen how many points the 23-year-old can generate, he'll be a solid depth option in deeper formats that count blocked shots, as he had 106 in 71 outings last year.

After a brilliant rookie Oilers season, how high is Ethan Bear's ceiling? Ethan Bear’s two-year, $2-million AAV contract is a bargain for the Oilers, but it’s also a win for the player.

Signs two-year deal Bear signed a two-year contract worth $4 million with the Oilers on Monday.
Impact Bear was a solid all-around option on the Oilers' blue line last year with five goals, 21 points, 106 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating in 71 appearances. With Oscar Klefbom (shoulder) out for the whole regular season, Bear will likely see more ice time in a top-four role. The 23-year-old could be worth a look in deeper fantasy formats that reward defensive metrics.

The 2020 Copper & Blue Top 25 Under 25: #4 Ethan Bear Edmonton’s breakout defensive star from last season cracks the top four
DECEMBER 9, 2020 • COPPERNBLUE.COM
Solid in first full season Bear produced five goals and 21 points in 71 games in 2019-20.
Impact Bear played his first full NHL season last year and earned a large role, averaging 21:58 of ice time per game. The 23-year-old blueliner seems to be a lock for the Oilers' top-four, but he may lose some offensive opportunities with Tyson Barrie now in the fold. Bear added 106 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating last season. He should be able to make improvements on offense next year -- it wouldn't be shocking to see him register 30 points if there's a full 82-game campaign. Most of his production is expected to come at even strength.
