Gets on scoresheet with assist Desharnais registered an assist, three hits and four blocked shots in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Canucks in Game 5.

Impact The helper was Desharnais' first point since a two-assist game versus the Ducks on March 30. The 27-year-old defenseman has added 27 hits, 26 blocks, three shots on net and a minus-4 rating over 10 playoff appearances. He continues to play in a bottom-four role as a physical presence, so his lack of production typically won't have an impact on fantasy competitions.

Contributes two helpers Saturday Desharnais notched two assists, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Ducks.

Impact Desharnais snapped a 17-game point drought with his helper on a Mattias Ekholm goal in the first period. Just under a period later, Desharnais grabbed another assist on Warren Foegele's tally. With 11 points through 68 contests this season, Desharnais is far from a scoring threat. He's added 113 hits, 103 blocked shots, 52 PIM and a plus-6 rating to add some physicality to the Oilers' bottom four.

Ready to play Tuesday Desharnais (undisclosed) told reporters he would be in the lineup against Montreal on Tuesday, stating "I'm good. I'm ready to go," per Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic.

Impact Desharnais is currently stuck in a 13-game pointless streak during which he recorded a mere seven shots. While the blueliner won't offer much in the offensive third, he does rack up plenty of hits and blocks. With Desharnais back in action, Troy Stecher figures to remain a healthy scratch.

Game-time call Tuesday Desharnais (undisclosed) figures to be a game-time decision versus Montreal on Tuesday after coach Kris Knoblauch told reporters, "He looked good. Said he felt good. We will talk t...

Impact Desharnais has appeared in 63 games this season for Edmonton, so his spot in the lineup should be relatively secure. Still, the team likely won't want deadline-addition Troy Stecher sitting around too long. If Desharnais can't play Tuesday, those minutes almost certainly will go to Stecher.

Undergoing injury evaluation Desharnais will be evaluated for an undisclosed injury sustained Saturday versus the Avalanche, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.

Impact Desharnais was used sparingly in the third period but didn't retreat to the locker room for treatment. He hasn't gotten on the scoresheet in 13 contests. If Desharnais misses time, Troy Stecher would step into a bottom-four role.

Registers assist in win Desharnais notched an assist and three hits in Monday's 6-3 win over the Coyotes.

Impact Desharnais has racked up three assists, 15 blocked shots, 14 hits and 10 PIM over seven outings in February. The physicality is no surprise, but the 27-year-old defenseman is starting to come around on offense a bit as well, giving him viability in deeper fantasy formats. For the season, he's produced nine points, 77 hits, 75 blocked shots and 37 PIM over 50 appearances in a third-pairing role with virtually no power-play time.

Posts helper in win Desharnais logged an assist, three hits, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 8-4 win over the Red Wings.

Impact Desharnais has three helpers over his last eight contests. The 27-year-old saw an increase in ice time around the All-Star break, but his playing time is likely to fluctuate based on the game situation as long as he remains listed on the third pairing. The blueliner has eight points, 64 hits, 68 blocked shots, 30 shots on net and 29 PIM through 47 appearances.

Collects assist in loss Desharnais notched a shorthanded assist and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact Desharnais denied a Vegas zone entry in the first period, springing Leon Draisaitl to set up Connor McDavid on the Oilers' lone goal. With two helpers over his last five contests, Desharnais is showing a little life on offense. The 27-year-old has a steady role on the third pairing, especially when the Oilers can't afford to have a seventh defenseman on the roster. Desharnais is up to seven points, 29 shots on net, 27 PIM, 54 hits, 63 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 44 appearances.

Pockets helper Desharnais notched an assist in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Flames.

Impact Desharnais doesn't contribute offense often -- his two assists over eight games in January already make this his second-best month of the campaign. The 27-year-old defenseman remains in a third-pairing role to provide physicality. He has six points, 49 hits, 53 blocked shots, 27 PIM, 22 shots on net and a plus-2 rating over 40 appearances.

Ends 14-game slump Desharnais posted an assist and two hits in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Flyers.

Impact Desharnais went 14 games without a point before drawing the secondary helper on Connor McDavid's first-period tally Tuesday. Playing in a third-pairing role has done little for Desharnais' limited offense -- he has just five points over 33 contests. The 27-year-old blueliner has added 43 hits, 47 blocked shots and 27 PIM while averaging 14:22 of ice time per game, providing some grit on the back end. Given the Oilers' cap situation and the lack of success from defensemen they've called up on occasion, Desharnais' spot in the lineup should be considered secure.

Not generating offense Desharnais has gone 12 games without a point.

Impact Desharnais' drought was extended in Thursday's 5-0 win over the Sharks. While he's done next to nothing on offense, he has 16 hits, 24 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in that span. The 27-year-old has been a fixture on the Oilers' third pairing this season with 30 appearances. He's earned four points, 37 hits, 43 blocked shots, 25 PIM, 13 shots on net and a minus-1 rating in that role, which is right in line with his level of production from last season.

DECEMBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Provides two more helpers Desharnais notched two assists and blocked two shots in Sunday's 8-2 win over the Ducks.

Impact Desharnais has three helpers this season, all of which have come in the last two games. He assisted on goals by Zach Hyman and James Hamblin in this contest. Desharnais is up to four points with 21 hits, 19 blocks, 23 PIM, 11 shots on net and a minus-3 rating over 18 appearances this season. The 27-year-old remains in a third-pairing role, so his fantasy value is low in most formats.
