Playing Monday Kapanen (undisclosed) will face the Ducks on Monday.

Impact Kapanen returns following three games on the shelf due to his undisclosed injury. In his last eight outings, the 29-year-old winger racked up three goals, four assists and 19 shots.

WD-40 Next Level Performance | Edmonton Oilers Kasperi Kapanen's two-goal performance in the Oilers 6-0 win over the Canucks earns him the WD-40 Next Level Performance of the Week.

JANUARY 21 • NHL.COM

Likely shelved for one week Kapanen is projected to miss roughly one week, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports Tuesday.

Impact Oilers' head coach Kris Knoblauch confirmed that Kapanen won't miss a large chunk of time after he left Sunday's game. While he shouldn't miss more than a handful of games, the injury comes at an unfortunate time for Kapanen, who had just begun to gain traction with seven points over his last eight games. If he is kept out of the lineup for the next seven days, a plausible return date for the 29-year-old forward could be Thursday, Jan. 29 against the Sharks.

JANUARY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Injury not considered long-term Kapanen exited Sunday's win over the Blues due to an unspecified injury, but he isn't believed to be facing a long-term absence, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.

Impact Kapanen recorded just 2:53 of ice time before exiting Sunday's matchup in the first period, and he didn't return down the stretch. Although head coach Kris Knoblauch said after the game that Kapanen wouldn't return immediately, he specified that his current issue isn't believed to be as bad as some of his previous injuries, so the hope is that he'll be back in action before too long. It's not yet clear whether he'll require a stint on injured reserve, but the Oilers may need to call up another forward unless they elect to roll with 11 forwards and seven defensemen.

Buries two goals in win Kapanen scored twice on three shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Canucks.

Impact Kapanen remained on the second line, working with Ryan Nugent-Hopkins instead of Leon Draisaitl (personal) in this contest. It worked out, as Kapanen earned his second multi-point effort of the season. Growing chemistry with another player could help Kapanen stay productive later in the campaign. He's at three goals, nine points, 22 shots on net, 28 hits and a plus-3 rating over 13 appearances.
