Ty Emberson - Sets up empty-netter Emberson logged an assist in Tuesday's 4-1 win over Utah.

Impact Emberson has a helper in two of the last three games, but he picked up just three assists over 13 outings in December. The 24-year-old defenseman is up to five assists, 31 shots on net, 53 hits, 48 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating through 35 contests this season. The Oilers don't have an extra healthy defenseman on the roster, so Emberson's bottom-four spot in the lineup is likely safe for the foreseeable future.

Vasily Podkolzin - Adds helper in win Podkolzin logged an assist, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 4-1 win over Utah.

Impact Podkolzin notched an assist for the second time in three contests. While he didn't score in December, he logged five assists, 21 shots and 26 hits over 13 outings while maintaining his second-line spot. The physical winger is up to 13 points, 55 shots on net, 81 hits, 16 PIM and a plus-7 rating through 37 games this season. Podkolzin maintains deep-league appeal in fantasy since he's seeing even-strength minutes alongside Leon Draisaitl.

Evan Bouchard - Snags helper in win Bouchard posted an assist, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 4-1 win over Utah.

Impact Bouchard closed out December with three points over his last two games, getting on the scoresheet in consecutive contests for the first time in the month.

Connor Brown - Provides two more helpers Brown notched two assists and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 4-1 win over Utah.

Impact Brown has taken the season of giving literally -- he has five helpers over his last four games. Going back to Dec. 12, he's racked up three goals and seven assists over nine contests. At least to begin Tuesday's game, he was on the top line at even strength. Brown had been in a third-line role for much of the campaign, but even a part-time gig alongside Connor McDavid makes a player worth a look in fantasy. Brown is up to 18 points, 53 shots on net, 20 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating through 37 appearances. His usage will be worth monitoring in the coming days and weeks.

Connor McDavid - Point streak up to 12 games McDavid registered two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 4-1 win over Utah.

Impact McDavid is now on an 11-game point streak, during which he's earned three goals and 20 assists. It's his longest streak of the year, and while it's playmaking-heavy, it's still good to see the superstar perform at a high level after the Oilers' slow start to the season. McDavid now has 15 goals, 39 helpers, 104 shots on net and a plus-11 rating over 34 appearances this season. He's tied for third in the league in points (54) and trails only teammate Leon Draisaitl (56) and Avalanche superstar Nathan MacKinnon (61).

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.

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins - Scores in win Nugent-Hopkins scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 4-1 win over Utah.

Impact Nugent-Hopkins' tally in the second period was the game-winner. He started the contest as the third-line center but still saw his usual share of top-six minutes and power-play time. The Oilers look to be ready to experiment with Connor Brown getting more prominent usage, which could have a slight negative impact on Nugent-Hopkins, though the two were able to coexist in this contest. For the season, the 31-year-old forward has eight goals, 20 points, 73 shots on net and a plus-4 rating over 36 appearances.

Leon Draisaitl - Deposits empty-netter Draisaitl scored an empty-net goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-1 win over Utah.

Draisiatl also ranks second in the league in points (56), trailing only Nathan MacKinnon (61). Draisaitl has added 112 shots on net, a plus-20 rating and 10 PIM through 37 appearances. He's on pace to exceed his regular-season haul of 41 goals and 106 points from 2023-24.

Mattias Ekholm - One of each in win Ekholm scored a goal on two shots, dished an assist, blocked three shots and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 4-1 win over Utah.

Impact Ekholm ended a three-game dry spell with this performance. He opened the scoring 4:26 into the game and then helped out on Leon Draisaitl's empty-netter in the third period. Ekholm is up to six goals -- four of which he scored over 13 contests in December. He's generated 17 points, 90 shots on net, 53 blocked shots, 24 hits and a plus-15 rating over 37 appearances this season in a top-pairing role.

Stuart Skinner - Stands tall in win Skinner stopped 26 of 27 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 win over Utah.

Impact Skinner won six of his nine outings in December, allowing just 21 goals for the month. The 26-year-old has rounded into form after a slow start to the campaign, and the Oilers' offense often provides strong support. Skinner is now 14-8-3 with a 2.81 GAA and an .897 save percentage through 25 starts in 2024-25. The Oilers have a favorable back-to-back coming up next -- they host the Ducks on Friday before visiting the Kraken on Saturday, so both Skinner and Calvin Pickard will be solid fantasy plays during that set.
