McDavid has two goals and six points through five appearances this year. Edmonton didn't have him Tuesday and suffered a 7-4 loss to Minnesota, bringing the Oilers' record down to 1-4-1.

Mattias Ekholm - Snags assist in loss Ekholm logged an assist, three shots on goal, three hits, two blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in Tuesday's 7-4 loss to the Wild.

Impact Ekholm was hampered by a hip issue in training camp that also cost him Opening Night, and he's been a bit slow on offense to start the campaign. The helper was his first point in five outings. The Oilers have had their defensive issues as well, but the usually steady Ekholm has a minus-5 rating to go with 11 hits, six blocked shots, 10 shots on net and four PIM. Despite his early struggles, the 33-year-old is a virtual lock to stick in a top-four role.

Darnell Nurse - Posts assist Tuesday Nurse recorded an assist and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 7-4 loss to the Wild.

Impact Nurse has a goal and an assist over his last two games, accounting for all of his offense through six outings. The defenseman played a season-low 21:46 of ice time Tuesday, but the Oilers dressed seven defensemen with Connor McDavid (upper body) unavailable. Nurse's offense isn't quite at the usual level yet, but he's added 11 hits, nine blocked shots, four PIM, 15 shots on net and a minus-1 rating, providing his usual solid non-scoring numbers.

Zach Hyman - Draws helper in loss Hyman notched an assist, two blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in Tuesday's 7-4 loss to the Wild.

Impact While the Oilers' offense has sputtered a bit early in the season, Hyman's done his part with two goals and five helpers through six games. He helped out on a Warren Foegele tally in the second period. Hyman has added 15 shots on net, 11 hits and eight blocked shots, but he's also gone minus-3. With Connor McDavid (upper body) out of the lineup, Hyman was on the second line with Foegele and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins Tuesday, a supporting cast which is slightly less encouraging for his ability to sustain strong offense in the short term.

OCTOBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Leon Draisaitl - Dishes pair of assists Draisaitl notched two assists and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 7-4 loss to the Wild.

Impact Draisaitl earned his fourth multi-point effort of the season, and one of his helpers Tuesday came on the power play. He centered the top line with Connor McDavid (upper body) out 1-2 weeks. Draisaitl is still capable of putting up big numbers on his own -- he's already at four goals, seven helpers, 20 shots on net and eight PIM through six contests, and six of his 11 points have come with the man advantage.

Jack Campbell - Struggles mightily in Twin Cities Campbell allowed six goals on 30 shots in a 7-4 road loss against the Wild on Tuesday.

Impact Campbell and the Oilers actually had a 3-2 lead heading into the third period, but the final 20 minutes was disastrous. The Wild notched three even-strength goals, a power-play goal and an empty-net score to pull away. Campbell has allowed four or more goals in three of his four assignments this season. The good news for the veteran netminder's fantasy managers is Stuart Skinner has performed even worse in limited action early on this season, so Campbell's hold on the No. 1 job in Edmonton appears to be secure for the time being.

Evan Bouchard - Good for three points in Minnesota Bouchard posted a goal with two assists in Tuesday's 7-4 loss against the Wild.

Impact Bouchard still managed a minus-3 rating thanks to a disastrous third period for the Oilers. He also chipped in with two blocked shots in 18:18 of ice time. The rearguard has managed at least one point in five of the six games to date. The three-point performance was his first since recording three assists in Winnipeg on March 4 last season. Locked into a spot on Edmonton's top pairing and first power-play unit, Bouchard appears poised to set new career highs across the board in 2023-24.
