Postgame: DAL vs. NSH, Oesterle | Nashville Predators Preds defenseman Jordan Oesterle discusses Nashville's win over Dallas in the season finale.

APRIL 17 • NHL.COM

Pair of points Wednesday Oesterle scored a goal on three shots, added an assist, blocked two shots and went plus-3 in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Stars.

Impact Oesterle earned four points over eight outings in April once he got a chance to play regularly. The 32-year-old defenseman had a total of four goals, six assists, 38 shots on net, 27 hits, 57 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 37 appearances between the Predators and the Bruins this season. Oesterle signed a two-year, two-way contract with Boston last summer, so he'll likely be part of Nashville's plans in 2025-26 after they claimed him off waivers in March.

Pots goal Saturday Oesterle scored a goal and blocked two shots in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact Oesterle has two goals over six outings in April while seeing steady ice time for the Predators. He's up to three goals, eight points, 34 shots on net, 26 hits, 55 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 35 appearances between Nashville and Boston this season. The Predators probably won't get any blueliners back before the end of the season, and Oesterle should end the year with a place in the lineup.

First goal with new team Oesterle scored a goal and blocked two shots in Thursday's 8-4 loss to the Blue Jackets.

Impact Oesterle's playing time has been a bit thin since the Predators snagged him off waivers from the Bruins in early March. This was his eighth game out of 13 possible appearances since he landed in Nashville. Oesterle has two goals, five assists, 27 shots on net, 24 hits, 49 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 30 appearances as a part-time player this season. He's seeing more action heading into April, but that's because the Predators are short on forwards and need to dress seven defensemen to fill out the lineup. Oesterle's role could diminish again once Jonathan Marchessault (lower body) or Colton Sissons (lower body) are able to play.

Grabbed off waivers Oesterle was claimed off waivers by Nashville from Boston on Thursday, according to Chris Johnston of The Athletic.

Impact Oesterle had a goal and six points in 22 appearances with Boston this season. Nashville has three defensemen on injured reserve -- Roman Josi (upper body), Jeremy Lauzon (lower body) and Adam Wilsby (upper body) -- and traded blueliner Luke Schenn to Pittsburgh on Wednesday, so the Predators needed some extra depth. Oesterle might alternate between being a healthy scratch and serving on the third pairing.

On waivers Oesterle was put on waivers by Boston on Wednesday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

Impact Oesterle has a goal and six points in 22 appearances with Boston. He also has three goals and eight points in nine appearances with AHL Providence. Oesterle will presumably report to Providence if he goes unclaimed.

Finally finds back of net Oesterle scored his first goal of the season in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Predators.

Impact The veteran blueliner finally got some puck luck, as his shot from the faceoff circle early in the second period deflected off a Nashville defender and snuck past Juuse Saros. Oesterle's last goal came with the Red Wings on Dec. 29, 2022, and he'd gone 71 NHL appearances since without lighting the lamp. He's had trouble establishing a regular spot with Boston even with Charlie McAvoy (shoulder) and Hampus Lindholm (knee) on IR, but Tuesday's goal might provide Oesterle with a boost in confidence.

Falls out of favor again Oesterle was scratched for the ninth straight game in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Penguins.

Impact Oesterle is a veteran defenseman, so he can step in at a moment's notice to give another blueliner some rest or to cover for an injury. Steady playing time doesn't look to be in the cards right now -- Oesterle's last appearance was Jan. 28, and Parker Wotherspoon has largely taken over the last spot on defense in the absence of Charlie McAvoy (shoulder). Overall, Oesterle has earned five assists, 19 shots on net, 19 hits and 34 blocked shots over 21 appearances, but he's likely to end the campaign in a part-time role.

MARCH 2 • ROTOWIRE

Gets on scoresheet Saturday Oesterle posted an assist and went plus-3 in Saturday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Senators.

Impact Oesterle played for just the third time in eight January games. He also ended his 11-game point drought. The 32-year-old defenseman appears to have a clearer path to playing time while both Charlie McAvoy (undisclosed) and Hampus Lindholm (lower body) are out. Oesterle is at four assists, 17 shots on net, 16 hits and 30 blocked shots through 18 NHL outings this season, so he's unlikely to be of interest in most fantasy formats.

JANUARY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Losing playing time Oesterle was scratched for the fifth time in six games when he sat out Tuesday's 4-0 loss to the Oilers.

Impact Oesterle held a place in the lineup for much of December, but Parker Wotherspoon appears to have displaced Oesterle heading into the second half of the campaign. The 32-year-old Oesterle has three helpers, 16 shots on net, 27 blocked shots, 12 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 16 appearances. He'll likely be at risk of losing his roster spot once Hampus Lindholm (lower body) is ready to return -- there's no firm timeline for that, but Lindholm resumed skating Tuesday and will likely need another week or two at least to build back up after a lengthy layoff.

JANUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Dishes pair of helpers Oesterle notched two assists, two shots on goal, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Oesterle was one of six Bruins to put up multi-point efforts, and this was his first such game of the year. He has three helpers over six appearances and has played in three straight contests, displacing Parker Wotherspoon from the lineup. Oesterle has added seven shots on net, eight blocked shots, five hits and a plus-1 rating, though he's unlikely to sustain enough offense to help in fantasy.

Nabs assist Sunday Oesterle produced an assist and went plus-2 in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Canadiens.

Impact Oesterle has bounced between the NHL and AHL multiple times over the last few weeks. The 32-year-old defenseman's helper Sunday was his first point to go with two shots on net, three hits and four blocked shots over four appearances. He's competing for playing time with Parker Wotherspoon, at least until Hampus Lindholm (lower body) can return, which is expected to be multiple weeks away.

DECEMBER 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Back in NHL Oesterle was recalled from AHL Providence on Friday, according to the NHL media site.

Impact Oesterle was sent down to the minors Thursday as the Bruins saved salary cap money with the move. He has played three games at the NHL level this season, with three hits, three blocked shots and a pair of shots on goal. Oesterle had three goals and five assists in nine AHL appearances before his recall.
