The 2026/27 season is still very, very young, but already, the Edmonton Oilers have been hit by an injury bug that has their starting lineup looking nothing like anyone expected coming into the campaign.
The biggest injury issues have come in the Oilers forward group, with the team seeing Jason Dickinson, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Zach Hyman and Matthew Savoie all missing time to start the new season. As a result, the team were expected to make a trade to fill out this group, and while it wasn't a blockbuster deal, the team have made that trade on Wednesday.
