Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Beaten five times Monday
Pickard stopped 31 of 36 shots in Monday's 5-0 loss to the Kings.
The Oilers were extremely shorthanded Monday, so the 5-0 defeat wasn't shocking. However, the loss also snapped Pickard's excellent run of form. The 33-year-old veteran had won five of his previous six starts before Monday's meltdown. Pickard has posted a 2.58 GAA and a .907 save percentage over his last seven starts. The Oilers have one final game in the regular season when they face the Sharks on Wednesday, though it's unclear if Pickard will get the nod in that matchup.

Oilers' Darnell Nurse: Headed for suspension
Nurse will have a hearing with the Department of Player Safety on Tuesday.
Nurse was hit with a five-minute major and a 10-minute misconduct for his cross-check on LA's Quinton Byfield and now should be expected to receive at least a one-game ban. If the 30-year-old Nurse is suspended for more than one game, it will carry into the postseason, as the Oilers have just one regular-season game left. Unless Troy Stecher (undisclosed) or Jake Walman (undisclosed) is available for Wednesday's clash with San Jose, the team will need to bring a player up from the minors or dress just five defensemen.

Oilers' Noah Philp: Back to Bakersfield
Philp was reassigned to AHL Bakersfield on Monday, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.
Philp drew into the lineup three times in his latest NHL stint, recording no points and five shots on goal. With the Oilers managing a tight cap situation, it was necessary for the 26-year-old to be sent down ahead of the final two games of the regular season. Assuming he isn't recalled prior to Wednesday's contest versus the Sharks, he will finish his NHL regular season with two points, both assists, in 15 games.

Oilers' Derek Ryan: Sent down to minors
Ryan was reassigned to AHL Bakersfield on Monday, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.
Ryan was essentially a salary cap casualty for the Oilers, as his demotion and various injuries will force the team to utilize just 11 forwards against the Kings on Monday. In his 36 NHL games this year, the veteran center has generated just one goal and five assists. Even if he does rejoin the team for the postseason, Ryan is far from a lock to see minutes and could serve as a healthy scratch more often than not.

Oilers' Josh Brown: Brought up from minors
Brown was recalled from AHL Bakersfield on Monday, Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic reports.
Brown has one assist, five shots on goal, 13 hits and 11 blocked shots over eight NHL appearances this season. The 31-year-old Brown will replace Troy Stecher (undisclosed) in Monday's lineup versus the Kings.

Oilers' Jake Walman: Not playing Monday
Walman (undisclosed) won't be in the lineup for Monday's matchup versus the Kings, per Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic.
Walman will miss his fourth straight game but could be an option to return against the Sharks on Wednesday in the Oilers' regular-season finale. He has produced seven goals, 40 points, 164 shots on net, 145 blocked shots and 57 hits in 65 appearances between Edmonton and San Jose this season.

Oilers' Trent Frederic: In doubt for Game 1
Frederic (ankle) is questionable to play in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs versus the Kings, Oilers play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels reports Monday.
Frederic's timeline will see him miss the final two regular-season contests against the Kings and Sharks on Monday and Wednesday, respectively. The 27-year-old will have played just once in 22 contests since he was acquired from the Bruins on March 4. Even once given the all-clear, Frederic will likely be stuck in a bottom-six role, limiting his fantasy value in playoff pools.

Oilers' Mattias Ekholm: Will miss opening round
Ekholm (undisclosed) is not expected back until after the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, Oilers play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels reports Monday.
Ekholm was already considered out indefinitely, so this latest update is far from a surprise given his status. With Troy Stecher (undisclosed) and Jake Walman (undisclosed) also banged up, the Oilers find themselves very thin on the blue line and will need to get some healthy players back sooner rather than later.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Tending twine against Los Angeles
Pickard will start Monday's home game against the Kings, Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic reports.
Pickard has picked up wins in five of his last six starts, going 5-1-0 with a 2.18 GAA and .917 save percentage during that time. His lone loss during that stretch came against the Kings, as he turned aside 26 of 28 shots (.929 save percentage) in a 3-0 defeat, but he'll attempt to pick up a win in Monday's rematch.

Oilers' Troy Stecher: Unavailable Monday
Stecher (undisclosed) won't play against the Kings on Monday, Oilers play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels reports.
Stecher will miss at least one game after sustaining an injury in Sunday's 4-1 win over Winnipeg. If he doesn't return against San Jose on Wednesday in Edmonton's regular-season finale, he should be ready for Game 1 of the playoffs. Stecher has contributed three goals, seven points, 55 shots on net, 66 blocked shots and 35 hits across 66 appearances this season.

Oilers' Zach Hyman: Remains sidelined against LA
Hyman (undisclosed) will not be an option versus the Kings on Monday, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.
Hyman will miss his second straight game due to his undisclosed injury, but hasn't been ruled out for the season finale versus San Jose on Wednesday. Considering there is a chance that Hyman plays in that contest, the 32-year-old winger should be expected to return no later than Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Prior to his absence, he went seven games without a point.

Oilers' Connor McDavid: Sitting out against Kings
McDavid will miss Monday's matchup with Los Angeles for precautionary reasons, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.
McDavid hasn't scored in his three games back from a previous lower-body injury, but he has racked up nine helpers over that stretch, including two with the man advantage. The 28-year-old center is likely just being rested ahead of the postseason, so fantasy managers shouldn't have to worry about his availability when the playoffs begin. McDavid should probably be considered questionable at best for the regular-season finale versus San Jose on Wednesday.

Oilers' Leon Draisaitl: Won't play against Los Angeles
Draisaitl (undisclosed) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Kings, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.
Draisaitl continues to deal with an undisclosed injury, and he'll be unavailable for the penultimate game of the regular season. His final chance to suit up before the start of the playoffs will be Wednesday in San Jose, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be ready for postseason play if he's unavailable against the Sharks. The 29-year-old has been a stellar contributor when healthy this season, logging 52 goals, 54 assists and 34 PIM while averaging 21:31 of ice time over 71 appearances.

Oilers' Ryan Nugent-Hopkins: Playing against Kings
Nugent-Hopkins (illness) will be in the lineup versus Los Angeles on Monday, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.
Nugent-Hopkins will return following a three-game stint on the shelf. Prior to his absence, the 32-year-old center was struggling to produce offensively with just one helper in his last seven outings. Nugent-Hopkins should step into a top-six role, especially with Leon Draisaitl (undisclosed) still out, in addition to seeing power-play opportunities.
... See More ... See Less -
Oilers' Quinn Hutson: Signs entry-level contract
Hutson signed a two-year, entry-level contract with the Oilers on Monday.
Hutson spent this season with Boston University and recorded 23 goals, 27 assists and 33 PIM over 38 appearances while helping to lead the team to the Frozen Four. His entry-level contract will begin this season, and he was with the Oilers during Monday's morning skate, so he should have a chance to work with the NHL club late in the regular season.

Oilers' Derek Ryan: Chips in with helper
Ryan notched an assist and two shots on goal in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Jets.
Ryan is with the Oilers on an emergency recall since the team has four of its regular forwards unavailable. This was his first NHL game since March 26 and his first point since Jan. 4. The 38-year-old is at six points, 20 shots on net, 25 hits, 21 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over 36 appearances. It's possible he stays with the big club for the playoffs, especially if AHL Bakersfield doesn't qualify for the minor-league postseason.

Oilers' Brett Kulak: Bags apple Sunday
Kulak notched an assist, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Jets.
Kulak set up Viktor Arvidsson's empty-net goal to seal the win. The 31-year-old Kulak has two helpers over his last three games as he works to shake off a 10-game point drought from March 18 to April 7. The defenseman has reached the 25-point mark for the first time in his career and has added 132 shots on net, 109 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating over 80 appearances. Given the Oilers' significant number of injuries on the blue line, Kulak is poised to play in all 82 games for the third year in a row.

Oilers' Evan Bouchard: Puts up assist in win
Bouchard logged an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Jets.
Bouchard continues to roll on offense with a goal and eight assists over seven outings in April. The Oilers lost another defenseman to injury when Troy Stecher (undisclosed) left Sunday's contest, so it's looking less likely for Bouchard to get any rest ahead of the playoffs. He looks set to play in all 82 games for the second time in his career. The 25-year-old has 14 goals, 53 assists, 231 shots on net, 107 blocked shots and a plus-16 rating over 80 appearances.
