## Resource

Rudolfs Berzkalns, the Oilers’ No. 4 prospect, is a towering center with elite playmaking instincts and rising offensive production—13 goals and 12 assists last season in the USHL, plus 4 goals in 16 playoff games. Hailing from Latvia but raised in the States since age 14, he’s already proving his mettle on the international stage and excels at using his size and skating to control space. A defensive dynamo who’s smart with his body and disciplined in coverage, Berzkalns is primed for Boston College in 2027 and could be suiting up in the AHL by 2029—building toward a future as a reliable bottom-six contributor.
