INJURIES
Tickles twine in win Kapanen scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Mammoth.
Impact Kapanen was able to get a goal in the lopsided win, but his offense may take a downturn soon. He didn't feature on the power play in this contest after previously filling in for Zach Hyman (undisclosed) on the top unit. Kapanen has three goals, one assist, 12 shots on net, 12 hits and a minus-4 rating across eight outings this season. If he doesn't reclaim a power-play spot, he'll have to do most of his scoring at even strength, though that's not a new thing for him.

Scores 100th career goal Kapanen scored a power-play goal on three shots and blocked two shots in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Ducks.
Impact Kapanen's tally was the 100th of his career. The 30-year-old winger has earned three points this season, including two on the power play and one while shorthanded. He's currently filling in on the top power-play unit, which will be a short-term boost in value until the Oilers get Zach Hyman (undisclosed), Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (lower body) or Matt Savoie (lower body) back. Kapanen has added eight shots on net, five hits, three blocked shots and a minus-4 rating while skating on the second line at even strength.

Shines on special teams Kapanen scored a shorthanded goal and added a power-play assist in Thursday's 9-7 win over the Canucks.
Impact Kapanen has a shot to see meaningful power-play time while both of Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (lower body) and Zach Hyman (undisclosed) are out. After a scoreless performance in the opener, Kapanen got on the scoresheet with his standout special-teams effort Thursday. He's added four shots on net, five hits and a minus-4 rating across two contests this season. Kapanen should slip no lower than the third line once the Oilers are healthy, giving him some deep-league appeal as a physical forward.

Posts goal, assist Saturday Kapanen recorded a goal and an assist in Saturday's 4-1 preseason win over the Flames.
Impact Kapanen helped create Edmonton's third goal, working the puck around the offensive zone before finding Ryan Shea for a one-timer late in the second period. The 30-year-old then restored the Oilers' three-goal cushion in the third, scoring on a breakaway just 1:46 after Matt Coronato had cut Calgary's deficit to 3-1. Edmonton dressed a lineup close to its regular-season group, making the two-point performance an encouraging finish to Kapanen's preseason. He's expected to open the season as a middle-six forward.

JULY 1 • NHL.COM
Sticking with Edmonton Kapanen signed a one-year, $2.6 million contract with the Oilers on Wednesday.
Impact Kapanen was able to test the market but opted to stick in a familiar spot for another year. The 29-year-old winger produced eight goals, nine assists, 65 shots on net, 75 hits and 14 PIM over 41 regular-season outings with Edmonton last year. When healthy, he has previously shown 30-point potential, but fantasy managers should expect something more in the range of 20-25 points with moderate physicality if he continues to fill a middle-six role in 2026-27.

Nets another goal in loss Kapanen scored a goal on two shots and added three hits in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Ducks in Game 4.
Impact Kapanen has done his part this series with four goals and one assist over four contests after picking up just two points over his last 15 regular-season games. The 29-year-old winger's performance hasn't been copied by many of his teammates, which is why the Oilers are staring down elimination. Kapanen should continue to be effective on offense and with physicality in a middle-six role at even strength.

Scores in Game 3 loss Kapanen scored a goal on two shots in Friday's 7-4 loss to the Ducks in Game 3.
Impact Kapanen has three goals and an assist, as well as 11 shots, seven hits and a plus-5 rating over three playoff contests. He's been effective in a top-six role at even strength, though that hasn't come with any power-play time during the postseason. Kapanen has seen action in seven prior playoff runs, accumulating 19 points over 50 outings in those years. He was limited to 17 points, 65 shots on net and 75 hits over 41 regular-season contests in 2025-26.
