Mattias Janmark - NHL News & Rumors

Remains without timeline Janmark (undisclosed) does not have a timetable for his return from injury.

Impact Janmark underwent an undisclosed procedure earlier in the year, but he's currently shelved until further notice. The 33-year-old winger was limited in 2025-26, where he compiled a goal and eight points across 43 regular-season outings. In his absence, Mathieu Joseph and Max Jones are expected to serve as the team's left wingers in the bottom six to open the 2026-27 campaign.

Won't appear in preseason games Janmark (undisclosed) will skate during training camp but won't appear in preseason games, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.

Impact The Oilers indicated in late August that Janmark wouldn't participate in training camp while continuing to recover from surgery that he underwent last March. While it's encouraging that he'll do some on-ice activity during camp, his absence from preseason action suggests that he could also be sidelined for at least some regular-season games.

SEPTEMBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Won't participate in training camp The Oilers announced Wednesday that Janmark (undisclosed) isn't expected to participate in training camp ahead of the 2026-27 season.

Impact Janmark underwent season-ending surgery in late March to address a chronic injury, and he hasn't yet recovered enough to be ready for training camp in September. While the Oilers haven't officially revealed his status for the start of the regular season, it wouldn't be surprising to see him miss time since he'll presumably need to ramp up before he's in the mix to return to game action. Across 43 regular-season appearances with Edmonton last year, he recorded a goal, seven assists, 22 PIM, 13 blocked shots and 10 hits while averaging 11:51 of ice time.

Out long-term Janmark is dealing with a chronic injury that will keep him out long-term, Mark Spector of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Janmark was limited to 2:30 of ice time Wednesday versus the Ducks. The 33-year-old's absence will likely lead to him landing on long-term injured reserve to provide a bit of cap relief for the Oilers. In Thursday's game versus the Kings, expect the team to go with 11 forwards and seven defensemen, allowing Alec Regula to check into the lineup.

Registers assist Janmark logged an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Predators.

Impact Janmark ended his eight-game point drought with a helper on a Curtis Lazar tally in the second period. The 33-year-old Janmark has struggled to be consistent on offense from a bottom-six role this season. He's now at seven points, 19 shots on net, 16 PIM and a minus-4 rating across 27 appearances, which just won't cut it for fantasy managers.

Finds twine in blowout win Janmark scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 9-4 win over the Kraken.

Impact Janmark got his first goal of the year Thursday. He's been heating up -- all four of his points this season have been earned in the last seven games. The 32-year-old defensive forward has added 12 shots on net, six hits, six PIM and a minus-3 rating over 12 appearances in total. Janmark probably won't provide enough consistent offense to help most fantasy managers, but he plays a valuable on-ice game that keeps him in the lineup.

Impact The helper was Janmark's first point in six games this season. He missed a month to start the year due to an undisclosed injury. He's added two shots on net and a minus-3 rating. Janmark will play a primarily defensive role in the bottom six, but he should still be capable of pushing for 15-20 points by the end of the campaign.

Returning to action Monday Janmark (undisclosed) will make his season debut Monday against the Blue Jackets, Paige Martin of Oilers TV reports.

Impact Janmark sustained an undisclosed injury during training camp and was unavailable for the first month of the regular season. However, he's practiced with the team recently and will be able to return to game action against Columbus. He made 80 regular-season appearances for the Oilers last year, recording two goals, 16 assists, 45 hits, 35 blocked shots and 22 PIM while averaging 13:18 of ice time.

Impact Janmark was still skating in a fifth-line role at Friday's practice session, so a return Monday seems more likely. In the past, Janmark has found himself in a middle-six role without any power-play time. As such, he will be hard-pressed to get over the 20-point threshold and offer much more than mid-range fantasy value, at best.

NOVEMBER 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Won't return Sunday Janmark (undisclosed) will not suit up for Sunday's game in Vancouver.

Impact Janmark has yet to make his 2025-26 debut, and his status for a return to game action is murky at this point. Head coach Kris Knoblauch said Oct. 14 that the veteran forward could be an option for a pair of games Oct. 18 and Oct. 19, so it's unclear if Janmark has suffered a setback in his recovery. Edmonton's next game is Tuesday versus the Mammoth.

Targeting weekend return Janmark (undisclosed) could be an option against either the Devils or Red Wings on Saturday or Sunday, respectively, Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic reports.

Impact While the news officially rules Janmark out for at least two more games, he has a more concrete timeline to return. Once the veteran center is given the all-clear, he figures to slot into a bottom-six role, which could see Isaac Howard or David Tomasek headed to the minors.

OCTOBER 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Lands on injured reserve Janmark (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Monday.

Impact Janmark has dealt with an undisclosed injury over the past few days, and he's believed to have a return timetable of approximately 1-2 weeks. The 32-year-old will officially miss the start of the regular season, but he could return sometime around mid-October if he's able to meet his initial recovery timeline. James Hamblin was called up in a corresponding move Monday and could see playing time early in the regular season.

OCTOBER 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Could miss more than one week Janmark (undisclosed) is believed to be one or two weeks away from returning, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports Sunday.

Impact Head coach Kris Knoblauch said Friday that Janmark was expected to miss about a week, but it's possible that the 32-year-old forward could be out slightly longer than that. It seems unlikely that he'll be able to suit up for Wednesday's Opening Night matchup against the Flames, but he'll likely be able to return to the ice without missing significant regular-season time.
