Stillman has been an effective depth player for multiple organizations in his six-year career, stepping in when called upon, splitting time between the NHL and AHL. The 27-year-old defenseman has 26 points (4G / 22A) in 163 career NHL games.

Bouchard has established himself as one of the top offensive defensemen in the NHL and has earned a four-year contract extension worth $10.5 million AAV. The 25-year-old Bouchard had 67 points (14G / 53A) in 82 games with the Oilers last season. He has scored an impressive 55 combined points (13G / 42A) in 47 playoff games over the previous two postseasons.

The Oilers acquired Kapanen from the St. Louis Blues via waivers last season and have signed him to a one-year, $1.3 million contract. The 28-year-old Kapanen had 13 points (5G / 8A) in 57 games with the Oilers last season and made an impact in the playoffs, tallying six points (3G / 3A) in 12 games.

Frederic was acquired from the Bruins at the trade deadline but only appeared in one regular season game due to injury. He obviously made an impression on the organization during their postseason run, where he had four points (1G / 3A), 22 SOG and 85 hits in 22 games. The eight-year deal helped keep Frederic's AAV down, but it's a lot of term for a player that was on-pace for just 21 points last season.

Kapanen was a healthy scratch for Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final, but he will replace Viktor Arvidsson in the lineup for Game 6. Kapanen has picked up three assists in four games during the series.

Kapanen played well in Game 4, recording an assist, but was limited to only 8:36 time-on-ice. He will likely be a healthy scratch on Saturday for Game 5, with Viktor Arvidsson drawing into the lineup as his replacement.

Nugent-Hopkins was also a game-time decision for Game 3 but managed to suit up and play a lower-than-average 15:34 TOI. The 32-year-old former first overall pick has excelled throughout this year's postseason, with five goals, 18 points and a +6 plus/minus in 19 games played.

Marjala was originally drafted by the Sabres in the fifth round of the 2021 NHL Draft but never signed. Marjala spent the past three seasons in Finland with TPS Turku, posting 29 goals and 72 assists (101 points) in 129 games. In the 2024-25 season, he tied for the team lead with 52 points (8G / 44A) in 54 games.

Nugent-Hopkins missed Sunday's practice with an undisclosed injury and was announced a game-time decision for Game 3 on Monday by head coach Kris Knoblauch. If the 32-year-old is forced to miss any time, it will be a massive loss for a team already missing Zach Hyman. RNH has five goals, 18 points, and 41 SOG in 18 games played this season.
