The Oilers scored only once in a 5-1 loss to the Buffalo Sabres on Monday, and hope to spark some offence with David Tomasek replacing an injured Noah Philp (undisclosed) in the lineup on Wednesday against the Washington Capitals. The 29-year-old Tomasek was a high-pedigree scorer with Farjestads BK Karlstad (SweHL) last season, but has only three points (1G / 2A) in his first 14 NHL games.
Isaac Howard will be a healthy scratch on Thursday against the Columbus Blue Jackets, allowing Tomasek to return from a two-game absence. The 29-year-old Tomasek is in his first NHL season and has scored three points (1G / 2A) in 13 games.
Tomasek scored 57 points (24G / 33A) in 47 games with Farjestads BK Karlstad (SweHL) last season, but his success in Sweden has not translated directly to the NHL. The 29-year-old Czech forward has just three points (1G / 2A) in 13 games this season. Curtis Lazar will draw into the lineup as Tomasek's replacement.
Tomasek was a healthy scratch in Edmonton's most recent game, but he will return to the lineup on Tuesday against the Ottawa Senators. The 29-year-old Tomasek is playing his first NHL season and has two points (0G / 2A) in five games. Kasperi Kapanen (undisclosed) will exit the lineup to accommodate Tomasek's return.
Tomasek is an undrafted 29-year-old forward who signed with the Oilers towards the end of last season. He is slated to make his NHL debut and could get a look on the Oilers' electric top powerplay unit, where he spent some time during the preseason. Tomasek scored 57 points (24G / 33A) in 47 games with Farjestads BK Karlstad (SweHL) last season.
Tomasek is a 29-year-old Czech forward that has spent the previous two seasons in the Swedish Hockey League. In 2024-25, he lead Farjestads BK Karlstad (SweHL) with 57 points (24G / 33A) in 47 games.
