Impact Frederic missed five straight games due to the injury. He has four goals, six points, 58 PIM and 170 hits in 67 outings with Edmonton in 2026-27. Josh Samanski is likely to be a healthy scratch Thursday due to Frederic's return.

Impact Frederic, at a minimum, shouldn't be expected to face the Lightning on Saturday, though it could certainly be longer. Fantasy managers will have to take a wait-and-see approach and hope the team provides a true update at a later date -- something that is very rare this time of year.

Ends slump in loss Frederic scored a goal on two shots and added five hits in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Sharks.

Impact Frederic ended a 28-game point drought with his third-period tally. His first full campaign with the Oilers has been remarkably poor with just four points, 57 shots on net, 149 hits, 47 PIM and a minus-13 rating over 58 appearances.

Struggling on offense Frederic is in a 22-game point drought after failing to get on the scoresheet in Saturday's 6-5 overtime win over the Capitals.

Impact The Oilers have tried just about everything to get Frederic going -- he's been scratched twice during the slump and has also seen occasional top-six minutes, but it hasn't worked. The 27-year-old has a pitiful three points, 44 shots on net, 124 hits, 37 PIM and a minus-11 rating over 51 appearances. Frederic's eight-year contract with a $3.85 million cap hit is already aging like milk, though he brings some toughness even in a fourth-line role.

Ready to play Thursday Frederic will be in the lineup Thursday after he was struck in the face by the puck at practice Wednesday, Mark Spector of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Frederic had 14 stitches after Wednesday's incident. The 27-year-old will suit up on the fourth line against the Red Wings, alongside Curtis Lazar and David Tomasek. Frederic has been a dud offensively with two goals and an assist in 30 appearances, though he does have 71 hits this season.

Suffers injury during practice Frederic exited Wednesday's practice after suffering an undisclosed injury, Tony Brar of Oilers TV.

Impact Brar believes Frederic was struck in the face with the puck. The 27-year-old Frederic has two goals, three points, 25 PIM and 71 hits in 30 appearances this season. If he can't play Thursday versus Detroit, then Edmonton might need to call a forward up from the minors.

Nets lone goal in overtime loss Frederic scored a goal in Thursday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Lightning.

Impact Frederic hadn't registered a point in 19 games after his goal Oct. 14 versus the Rangers. That lack of offense has kept him mostly in a third-line role with little power-play time, though his usage should tick upwards while the Oilers are forced into dressing 11 forwards and seven defensemen due to cap constraints. The 27-year-old has two goals, 26 shots on net, 60 hits, 13 PIM and a minus-7 rating through 23 appearances.
