Jason Dickinson News

Edmonton has locked up some offensive depth when the team announced Sunday that it had signed Jason Dickinson to a five-year, $4 million AAV contract extension ($20M total). The 30-year-old forward is entering his 12th NHL season and first full season in Edmonton after being acquired from Chicago at last year's Trade Deadline. Dickinson will look to reach the 20 point plateau for the first time since 2023-24 after finishing last season with seven goals and 17 points in 64 games played.

Dickinson missed several games toward the end of the regular due to an injury, and has been a game-time decision throughout the first round of the playoffs, appearing in only three of five games. That said, 31-year-old has been impressive when in the lineup, scoring three points (2G / 1A) in three postseason games.

Dickinson was a game-time decision in Game Two and ultimately did not play, and is unavailable again for Game Three. The 30-year-old defensive forward scored a highlight-reel goal in Game One, one of two tallies in the game, but has not played since. He averaged 15:03 time-on-ice and scored four points (1G / 3A) in 17 games with the Oilers this season after being acquired before the trade deadline.

Dickinson was not on the ice for Friday's practice, but is expected to skate on Sunday, which could make him a possibility for Game 1 on Monday. If Dickinson and fellow centre Leon Draisaitl play in Game 1, the Oilers would be at 100 percent to start their series vs. Anaheim. Dickinson figures to play a key shutdown role, allowing Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl to face easier matchups.

The Oilers acquired Dickinson and forward Colton Dach in exchange for forward Andrew Mangiapane and a conditional 2027 first-round draft pick earlier this week. In Dickinson, the Oilers are gaining an excellent two-way forward who should excel in a shutdown role and finally fill Edmonton's third-line-centre void. A former first-round pick way back in 2013, Dickinson has spent the last four seasons with the Blackhawks, developing into one of the league's more underrated defensive forwards. The Georgetown, Ontario native won't need to worry about obtaining a work visa and will make his Oilers debut on Friday when they host the Hurricanes.

Dickinson did not play in Chicago's previous game because of an illness, but he will re-enter the lineup on Friday against the Tampa Bay Lightning. The 30-year-old Dickinson has 10 points (6G / 4A) in 36 games this season.
