Edmonton Oilers News
Edmonton has signed Mathieu Joseph to a one-year, $1 million contract.
Joseph has bounced between teams in recent years and has signed a one-year deal with the Edmonton Oilers, his fifth team in the last five years. The 28-year-old forward scored 11 points (2G / 9A) last season in 51 games split between the St. Louis Blues and Los Angeles Kings.
Edmonton has signed Kasperi Kapanen to a one-year, $2.6 million contract extension.
Kapanen is nearly a decade removed from a promising 44-point season (20G / 24A) with the Toronto Maple Leafs in 2018-19 as a 22-year-old. That production is no longer expected from the 30-year-old forward, but he settled into a solid middle-six role last season for the Oilers, earning himself a one-year contract extension. Kapanen scored 17 points (8G / 9A) in 41 games last season.
Edmonton has signed Eduards Tralmaks to a one-year, two-way contract.
Tralmaks is an undrafted Latvian forward who has seen success in recent years playing in Czechia. The 29-year-old Tralmaks saw that success continue in North America in 2025-26, scoring 42 points (26G / 16A) in 64 games with the Grand Rapids Griffins (AHL).
Edmonton has signed Ryan Shea to a four-year contract worth $4 million AAV ($20M total).
Heading into the 2025-26 season, Shea had only played 70 career NHL games, but became a full-time player with the Pittsburgh Penguins. The 29-year-old defenseman played 80 games last season, scoring an impressive 35 points (6G / 29A).
Edmonton has acquired Zack Sharp and Shakir Mukhamadullin from San Jose for Darnell Nurse.
Sharp was a fourth-round pick of the San Jose Sharks in the 2025 NHL Entry Draft. The 21-year-old defenseman has yet to make his professional debut and is coming off a 19-point season (5G / 14A) in 37 games with Western Michigan University (NCHC).
Edmonton has acquired Shakir Mukhamadullin and Zack Sharp from San Jose for Darnell Nurse.
Mukhamadullin was drafted 20th overall by the New Jersey Devils in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft. He played a career-high 50 games last season with the Sharks, recording 12 points (5G / 7A) and a -3 plus/minus. He is currently an RFA and is coming off a one-year, $1.0 million contract.
Edmonton has acquired Devon Levi and a 2028 7th round pick from Buffalo for a 2028 3rd round pick.
Levi was once considered the goalie of the future with the Buffalo Sabres, but he failed to make that leap, ultimately spending most of the past two seasons in the AHL. The 24-year-old goalie posted a 2.83 GAA and .904 SV% last season in 52 games (23-20-9) with the Rochester Americans.
5-year, $20,500,000 contract with the Edmonton Oilers. NMC Years 1-3 (through June 15, 2029), then 16 team trade list through term. Expires 2031 (UFA).

Edmonton has signed Jason Dickinson to a five-year, $4 million AAV contract extension ($20M total).
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.

Line Change
Andersen (undisclosed) will not dress for Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals.
Andersen was relieved in Game 3 at the start of the third period in favour of Brandon Bussi. It appeared to be due to the 4-0 deficit the Canes faced at the time, though it now appears it could have been related to an undisclosed injury. Bussi will start Game 4 and Pyotr Kochetkov will serve as his backup.
Goalie Start
Andersen will start Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final in Vegas.
Despite splitting starts all regular season with Brandon Bussi, Frederik Andersen will make his 16th straight postseason appearance in Carolina's crease for Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final Saturday. The 36-year-old Danish goalie has been sensational all offseason despite struggling in the first two games of this series vs/ Vegas, posting a 13-2-0 record, 1.72 GAA and .917 SV%. He will hope to propel Carolina to a 2-1 series lead on the road Saturday as the Hurricanes heads to Vegas for a primetime matchup.
Goalie Start
Andersen is expected to start Game 3 in Vegas on Saturday.
Goalie Start
Andersen will start Game 2 against the Golden Knights.
Similar to the Montreal series, Andersen struggled in Game 1, allowing five goals on 23 shots and 2.35 goals scored above expected. He settled in in the Games 2 through 5 of the Conference Finals, posting a 1.17 GAA and .925 SV% in those games. Through 14 playoff games, Andersen is 12-2-0 with a 1.65 GAA, .920 SV% and three shutouts. Carolina enters Game 2 as -152 home favourites.

At age 36, Frederik Andersen enters the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time in his career and will look to build on what has been an extraordinary postseason run thus far. The Danish goalie has been used sparingly in recent seasons, typically splitting time with his counterpart, but he has played every game this postseason, posting a tremendous 1.41 GAA, .931 SV%, and three shutouts in 13 games (12-1). The Hurricanes enter Game One on Tuesday as -151 home favourites against the Vegas Golden Knights.
