Impact Gagner will likely be out until Jan. 2 versus the Flyers at a minimum. With Gagner out of the lineup, expect Adam Erne and Connor Brown to have more stability in the short term.

Not on road trip Gagner (undisclosed) is not on the Oilers' road trip in California.
Out Friday Gagner (undisclosed) will not be available Friday against the Rangers, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.
Impact Gagner tallied two assists in Thursday's win over the Devils and has six points over his last 10 appearances. Edmonton's next game will be Dec. 28 against the Sharks. Connor Brown will dress in Gagner's absence.

Two helpers in win Gagner logged a pair of assists, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Devils.
Impact Gagner has five points over his last six games, and three of those points (all helpers) have been against the Devils. The 34-year-old set up goals by Ryan McLeod and Adam Erne as the Oilers got some contributions from their bottom six in Thursday's win. Gagner is up to a solid nine points with 39 shots and a plus-3 rating over 18 appearances this season, so he should have no trouble staying in the lineup when healthy.

Adds two points in win Gagner picked up a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 4-1 win over Chicago.
Impact Gagner tallied the eventual game-winning goal in the first period, burying a net-front feed from Derek Ryan to put Edmonton ahead 2-1, before he'd add an assist on Leon Draisaitl's goal in the second. The 34-year-old Gagner now has three points in his last two games after he was held to just one in his previous nine contests. He's up to seven points (four goals, three assists) through 14 games in a bottom-six role with the Oilers this season.

Garners helper Sunday Gagner notched an assist in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Devils.
Impact Gagner snapped a three-game drought when he set up Derek Ryan on the opening goal late in the first period. The 34-year-old Gagner has done fairly well while picking up bottom-six minutes in a part-time role for the Oilers this season. He has three goals, two assists, 29 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating through 13 appearances. Gagner's place in the lineup is likely safe until Dylan Holloway (lower body) returns, which is expected in roughly two weeks.

Enters lineup, scores goal Gagner netted a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout win over the Golden Knights.
Impact Gagner was scratched in the last four games, but he got back into the lineup with Zach Hyman (illness) out. The goal was Gagner's first point since Nov. 6. The 34-year-old forward has managed four points, 20 shots on net, eight hits, six blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over nine appearances, though he's unlikely to see much more than bottom-six usage when he plays.

Earns power-play assist Gagner notched a power-play assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Monday's 6-2 loss to the Canucks.
Impact Gagner set up a Mattias Ekholm tally at 6:42 of the first period. With three points in as many games since signing to rejoin the Oilers at the start of November, Gagner has at least tried to help the team amid its early struggles. He's added eight shots on net, five hits and a plus-2 rating while seeing middle-six minutes and some power-play time. Gagner has some experience as a power-play specialist, but playing on the second unit in Edmonton is unlikely to provide much of a meaningful boost to his production.

Oilers play the Predators after Gagner's 2-goal showing
The Edmonton Oilers host the Nashville Predators after Sam Gagner's two-goal game against the Dallas Stars in the Oilers' 4-3 lossNOVEMBER 3, 2023
Scores twice in return Gagner scored two goals on five shots in the Oilers' 4-3 loss to the Stars on Thursday.
Impact Playing his first game in his third stint as an Oiler, Gagner made his presence known, scoring two goals in the third period to cut the Stars' lead to 4-3. Gagner would also pick up five shots and three minutes in 13:00 TOI. That would be the closest the Oilers would get as they were unable to beat Scott Wedgewood again to even the score at 4-4. With his strong performance Thursday, Gagner could start to see himself in the lineup more often than not as the Oilers look to dig themselves out of their early season struggles.

Won't play in preseason games Gagner will not play in preseason games and will be evaluated in October, Jim Matheson of The Edmonton Journal reports.
Impact Gagner is evidently still recovering from hip surgery he underwent in the offseason. He will practice with the Oilers, but it appears there's a good chance he'll play his first games of the season with AHL Bakersfield before being an option for the NHL club.
