One of Edmonton's key depth pieces for their Stanley Cup run is returning in Mattias Janmark after the forward signed a three-year deal worth $4.35 million ($1.45M AAV) to remain with the Oilers. The 31-year-old is entering his third season in Edmonton and had four goals, 12 points, and 46 PIMs in 71 games played in 2023-24.
Janmark was nicked up at the end of the season and was questionable heading into their series with the Kings. Look for him to skate on the fourth line with Sam Carrick and Evander Kane.

Sam Gagner will be a healthy scratch on Thursday, allowing Janmark to re-enter the lineup.

Janmark hasn't played since Game 1 of the Oilers' opening series vs. Los Angeles but is expected back for the opening game of their second series vs. Vegas on Wednesday. The 30-year-old had one assist, two SOG and a +1 plus/minus in 14:52 TOI in his only game of the playoffs.

Janmark will miss his second straight game on Tuesday but it sounds like he could miss even more time. Head coach Pete DeBoer said that Janmark "is not close to returning," which suggests he could miss the rest of the week at the very least.
Janmark left in the third period of Friday's game in Arizona and did not return. Head coach Pete DeBoer did not have an update on Janmark post-game, so consider him questionable to play vs. Colorado until there is an update.
