INJURIES
Claimed off waivers Stecher was claimed off waivers by Toronto from Edmonton on Saturday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
Impact Stecher had no points, eight PIM, three shots, two hits and three blocks in six outings with Edmonton this season before being put on waivers. Stecher might see time on the third pairing in Toronto, but it wouldn't be surprising if he ends up being a frequent healthy scratch.

Available for Game 4 Stecher (undisclosed) has been cleared from his injury and is available to play in Game 4 on Sunday versus the Kings, Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic reports.
Impact If Stecher draws in, it'll likely be to replace Ty Emberson on the third pairing. Don't expect to see Stecher get much ice time, as the Oilers will likely continue to lean on their top blueliners throughout the postseason.
APRIL 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Not playing Friday Stecher (undisclosed) is not expected to be in the lineup Friday for Game 3 versus the Kings, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.
Impact Stecher was on the ice for warmups, which indicates he's getting closer to a return, but it doesn't look like it'll happen Friday. The defenseman is set to miss a fifth straight contest, and he's not guaranteed to have a place in the lineup even when he's cleared to play.
APRIL 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Still out Wednesday Stecher (undisclosed) won't play Wednesday in Game 2 versus the Kings, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.
Impact Stecher will be out of action for the fourth game in a row. With John Klingberg back from long-term injured reserve, there may not be a place for Stecher in the lineup even when he's healthy, though he could push Ty Emberson for playing time.
APRIL 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Not quite ready to return Stecher (undisclosed) skated Saturday, but he isn't expected to be ready for Game 1 of Edmonton's first-round series against the Kings on Monday, per Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The At...
Impact Stecher finished the regular season with three goals, seven points, 35 hits and 66 blocks in 66 appearances with Edmonton. When healthy, he'll be in the mix for a spot on the third pairing, possibly at the expense of Josh Brown.
APRIL 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Unavailable Wednesday Stecher (undisclosed) isn't expected to play Wednesday in San Jose, per Oilers play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels.
Impact Stecher will finish the regular season with three goals, seven points, 27 PIM, 35 hits and 66 blocks in 66 appearances. With Stecher, Mattias Ekholm (undisclosed), John Klingberg (lower body), Darnell Nurse (suspension) and Jake Walman (undisclosed) all unavailable, Edmonton will dress just five defensemen against the Sharks.
APRIL 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Unavailable Monday Stecher (undisclosed) won't play against the Kings on Monday, Oilers play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels reports.
Impact Stecher will miss at least one game after sustaining an injury in Sunday's 4-1 win over Winnipeg. If he doesn't return against San Jose on Wednesday in Edmonton's regular-season finale, he should be ready for Game 1 of the playoffs. Stecher has contributed three goals, seven points, 55 shots on net, 66 blocked shots and 35 hits across 66 appearances this season.

Sustains injury in Winnipeg Stecher (undisclosed) departed Sunday's 4-1 win over the Jets in the third period and did not return, per Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic.
Impact Nugent-Bowman also relayed that Stecher's undisclosed injury occurred when he fell to the ice awkwardly after being hit by Winnipeg's Dominic Toninato. An update on Stecher's status should surface before the Oilers host the Kings on Monday in the second half of a back-to-back.

Oilers Notebook: Trio of Oilers defencemen are plug-and-play for sixth spot, depending on team's need Oilers defencemen Troy Stecher, Ty Emberson or John Klingberg were at Friday's optional skate, Kane sighting, no minor-league call-ups

Logs assists in loss Stecher picked up an assist, shelled out two hits and was a plus-1 in 11:31 of ice time in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Sabres.
Impact In the second period of Monday's contest, Stecher snapped a 16-game point streak with an assist on Edmonton's first goal of the game. Since John Klingberg arrived in Edmonton on January 17, the 30-year-old Stecher has been in and out of the Oilers' lineup playing in just 17 of his team's most recent 27 games. When he does play, he plays in a limited role on the third pair, so he warrants no consideration in any format.
MARCH 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Likely to lose playing time Stecher was scratched for Thursday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Red Wings, while John Klingberg (hip) made his Oilers debut.
Impact The signing of Klingberg gives the Oilers a more offense-oriented defenseman who is used to top-four minutes. Stecher has been used sparingly despite being a regular for much of November and January. He has six points, 35 shots on net, 43 blocked shots, 27 PIM and 20 hits over 43 outings this season, but he's averaged just 13:51 of ice time, which would be his lowest mark in a season. Stecher will likely have to push Ty Emberson or Brett Kulak for minutes going forward unless the Oilers decide Klingberg needs occasional rest.

Leon Draisaitl scored the tiebreaking goal late in the third period and the Edmonton Oilers beat the Anaheim Ducks 3-2 for their second straight win
JANUARY 4, 2025 • Associated Press
Tallies Tuesday Stecher scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Tuesday's 4-1 win over Utah.
Impact Stecher hadn't gotten on the scoresheet in the last seven games. The defenseman had a somewhat surprising three goals over 13 outings in December, which accounts for all of his goal-scoring so far in 2024-25. He's added three assists, 32 shots on net, 35 blocked shots 17 hits, 23 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 33 contests overall in a bottom-four role.
