Connor McDavid - Likely out at least two weeks McDavid (lower body) isn't dealing with the worst-case scenario, but he's still expected to miss at least a couple of weeks, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet on Wednesda...
Impact McDavid logged just 37 seconds of ice time before he exited Monday's game against Columbus due to the injury. He has three goals and 10 points across 10 appearances this season. Missing McDavid is a huge blow for Edmonton, especially when the Oilers are having a difficult time gelling -- they rank last offensively with just 2.20 goals per game in 2024-25. While McDavid is absent, Adam Henrique will likely shift into a top-six role and see usage on the power play.

Corey Perry - Registers assist in loss Perry posted a power-play assist, two shots on goal and a minus-2 rating in Monday's 6-1 loss to the Blue Jackets.
Impact Perry saw 3:41 on the power play in a game where the Blue Jackets took six penalties. The winger has often featured on the second unit, but there could be a spot up for grabs on the first unit depending on the severity of Connor McDavid's lower-body injury. Perry probably isn't the first candidate for that role -- he has just two points to go with 11 shots on net, 12 PIM and a minus-1 rating over 10 contests this season.

Mattias Ekholm - Spoils shutout bid Ekholm scored a power-play goal on two shots and went minus-3 in Monday's 6-1 loss to the Blue Jackets.
Impact Ekholm helped the Oilers avoid a shutout, blasting a puck past Elvis Merzlikins with 27 seconds left in the game. With five points over his last three contests, Ekholm has been a standout on a team that is still struggling to put forth positive performances. The defenseman has two power-play goals, six assists, 29 shots on net, 14 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 10 outings this season.

Stuart Skinner - Jolted by Jackets Skinner turned aside 19 shots in Monday's 6-1 loss to the Blue Jackets.
Impact The Oilers lost Connor McDavid to a lower-body injury early in the first period, and the team never recovered. While Skinner was coming off a shutout of the Penguins his last time out, that was the only start this season in which he's given up fewer than three goals, leaving him with a shaky 3.51 GAA and .872 save percentage to go along with a 2-4-1 record.
