Kasperi Kapanen - NHL News & Rumors

Tallies in Tuesday's win Kapanen scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Kraken.

Impact Kapanen snapped a seven-game slump with his first-period tally. The 29-year-old forward's drop in offense isn't a great sign, but he's finding it tough to score much from a third-line role. He's now at eight goals, 16 points, 55 shots on net, 65 hits and a plus-6 rating across 34 appearances this season.

Fills empty cage Kapanen scored an empty-net goal on two shots and added two hits in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Golden Knights.

He's added 45 shots on net, 49 hits and a plus-8 rating. Kapanen has some value in deeper fantasy formats, but his potential will be limited as long as he's on the third line.

Good to play Saturday Kapanen (undisclosed) will play Saturday in San Jose, per Oilers TV reporter Paige Martin.

Impact Kapanen missed Edmonton's past two games due to the injury. He has two goals and 12 points in 19 appearances with Edmonton in 2025-26. Kapanen gives the Oilers 12 healthy forwards on the roster. If he were unavailable, then Edmonton would have presumably dressed 11 forwards and seven defensemen Saturday, but given that Kapanen is good to go, blueliner Alec Regula will probably be a healthy scratch.

Game-time decision Saturday Kapanen (undisclosed) was deemed a game-time decision for Saturday's road matchup in San Jose.

Impact After missing each of Edmonton's first two games out of the Olympic break, Kapanen has a shot to return to the Oilers' lineup in Saturday's contest. The 29-year-old forward has dealt with multiple injuries throughout the regular season, which have kept him out of the lineup for all but 19 games. When he's been healthy, however, Kapanen has been a strong secondary scoring option with five goals and 12 points. If he suits up Saturday, expect the veteran winger to reclaim a middle-six role.

Out next two games Kapanen (undisclosed) is expected to miss the first two games out of the Olympic break, Oilers TV reporter Paige Martin reports Sunday.

Impact The Oilers open up the post-Olympic break schedule with a back-to-back with the Ducks and Kings starting Wednesday. Kapanen scored a goal in back-to-back games prior to the break, so it's a bit surprising he's been ruled out coming out of the break. The 29-year-old has 12 points (five goals, seven assists) in 19 games played on the season.

Lights lamp in Wednesday's loss Kapanen scored a goal on four shots in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Flames.

Impact Kapanen has scored in back-to-back games to begin February. The 29-year-old winger remains in a second-line role, where he's had plenty of success when healthy this season. He's up to five goals, 12 points, 39 shots on net, 38 hits and a plus-8 rating through 19 appearances. Kapanen has appeal in fantasy as a depth forward, particularly in formats that reward hits.

Pots goal in loss Kapanen scored a goal on three shots and added four hits in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.

Impact Kapanen has two points over four games since he returned from an undisclosed injury that cost him three contests. He's now at four goals, 11 points, 35 shots on net, 38 hits and a plus-7 rating over 18 appearances. He's been pretty good when healthy, but the 29-year-old presents plenty of injury risk. Still, his spot alongside Leon Draisaitl is worth taking the risk.

The 29-year-old winger has seen limited action due to injuries this season, but he's earned 10 points, 30 shots, 32 hits and a plus-6 rating over 16 appearances. Kapanen is worth considering in fantasy as long as he maintains a top-six role.
