Ingram surrendered four goals on 23 shots in the Oilers' loss to the Panthers on Saturday. Ingram has cemented himself as the Oilers' No.1 netminder and will start his fifth consecutive game on Saturday. Since the Olympic break, Ingram has gone 5-2-1 with a 2.87 GAA and .889 SV%. Tonight he'll face the Lightning as +113 home underdogs, making him a very risky fantasy option.
Frederic exited Thursday's 4-0 loss to the Florida Panthers in the third period and is expected to miss some time. The 28-year-old Frederic has six points (2G / 4A) and 170 hits in 67 games this season.
Kapanen has already missed 41 games this season due to a myriad of ailments but thankfully will be available for Thursday's game against the Florida Panthers. The 29-year-old Finnish forward was not at Edmonton's morning skate on Thursday. He has 15 points (7G / 8A) in 28 games this season.
Emberson has not played in over a week due to an undisclosed injury, but is targeting a return to Edmonton's lineup on the weekend. The 25-year-old defenseman is averaging 15:49 time-on-ice and has 12 points (2G / 10A) in 60 games this season.
Earlier this week, Oilers' Head Coach Kris Knoblauch indicated that Ingram is the team's starting goalie, and he is doubling down on that statement on Thursday, turning to him to tend the twine for the eighth time in the last 11 games. The 28-year-old Ingram was serviceable in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the San Jose Sharks, saving 27 of 30 shots (.900 SV%). He has a 2.72 GAA and .896 SV% in eight games (6-1-1) since returning from the Olympic break. The Oilers enter Thursday's contest as -159 home favourites against a Florida Panthers team that has been outscored 11-4 in their last two games (0-2-0).

Jarventie was a second-round pick of the Ottawa Senators in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft. He played seven games with Ottawa in the 2023-24 season, but has otherwise played exclusively in the AHL. With Leon Draisaitl (lower body) placed on Injured Reserve, Jarventie has been recalled and could get a chance to draw into Edmonton's lineup. Jarventie has 36 points (17G / 19A) in 52 games with Bakersfield (AHL) this season.
Draisaitl lasted only six shifts in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Nashville Predators, exiting the game after only 3:12 time-on-ice due to an upper-body injury. Despite exiting the game early, Draisaitl managed to score a goal, giving him an absurd 11 points (2G / 9A) in his last four games. Unfortunately for the Oilers, that will likely mark the final time Draisaitl plays this season, ending the 2025-26 campaign with 97 points (35G / 62A) in 65 outings. Expect to see an increase in opportunistic deployment for Matt Savoie and Vasily Podkolzin with Draisaitl unavailable.

Max Jones was recalled from Bakersfield (AHL) in a corresponding move.
