Kapanen scored a power-play goal on two shots in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Flames.
Kapanen extended Edmonton's lead to 3-0 just 55 seconds into the third period, converting a cross-crease feed from Connor McDavid for his fourth goal of the season. Kapanen continues to benefit from opportunities alongside Edmonton's elite playmakers, and his involvement on the power play adds another avenue for fantasy production. However, his limited shot volume could make consistent scoring difficult to sustain. He's yet to find the back of the net in consecutive games, and this goal snapped a four-game goal drought.

Kapanen scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Mammoth.
Kapanen was able to get a goal in the lopsided win, but his offense may take a downturn soon. He didn't feature on the power play in this contest after previously filling in for Zach Hyman (undisclosed) on the top unit. Kapanen has three goals, one assist, 12 shots on net, 12 hits and a minus-4 rating across eight outings this season. If he doesn't reclaim a power-play spot, he'll have to do most of his scoring at even strength, though that's not a new thing for him.

Kapanen scored a power-play goal on three shots and blocked two shots in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Ducks.
Kapanen's tally was the 100th of his career. The 30-year-old winger has earned three points this season, including two on the power play and one while shorthanded. He's currently filling in on the top power-play unit, which will be a short-term boost in value until the Oilers get Zach Hyman (undisclosed), Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (lower body) or Matt Savoie (lower body) back. Kapanen has added eight shots on net, five hits, three blocked shots and a minus-4 rating while skating on the second line at even strength.

Kapanen scored a shorthanded goal and added a power-play assist in Thursday's 9-7 win over the Canucks.
Kapanen has a shot to see meaningful power-play time while both of Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (lower body) and Zach Hyman (undisclosed) are out. After a scoreless performance in the opener, Kapanen got on the scoresheet with his standout special-teams effort Thursday. He's added four shots on net, five hits and a minus-4 rating across two contests this season. Kapanen should slip no lower than the third line once the Oilers are healthy, giving him some deep-league appeal as a physical forward.

Kapanen recorded a goal and an assist in Saturday's 4-1 preseason win over the Flames.
Kapanen helped create Edmonton's third goal, working the puck around the offensive zone before finding Ryan Shea for a one-timer late in the second period. The 30-year-old Kapanen then restored the Oilers' three-goal cushion in the third, scoring on a breakaway just 1:46 after Matthew Coronato had cut Calgary's deficit to 3-1. Edmonton dressed a lineup close to its regular-season group, making the two-point performance an encouraging finish to Kapanen's preseason. He's expected to open the season as a middle-six forward.
RotoWire via ESPN · Sep 27
Kapanen signed a one-year, $2.6 million contract with the Oilers on Wednesday.
Kapanen tested the market but opted to stick in a familiar spot for another campaign. The 29-year-old winger produced eight goals, nine assists, 65 shots on net, 75 hits and 14 PIM over 41 regular-season outings with Edmonton in 2025-26. When healthy, he has previously shown 30-point potential. However, fantasy managers should expect something more in the range of 20-25 points with moderate physicality if he continues to fill a middle-six role in 2026-27.
