Summary
The Oilers’ penalty kill faces a major overhaul for 2026-27, with key losses like Adam Henrique and Curtis Lazar creating a void. As Connor McDavid’s shorthanded time shrinks, new coach D.J. Smith must build a lethal unit around locks Matt Savoie, Jason Dickinson, and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. Kasperi Kapanen’s speed and tenacity, Vasily Podkolzin’s fearless physicality, Josh Samanski’s defensive versatility, and even Trent Frederic’s potential as a dark horse could all play pivotal roles in filling the gap and turning the PK into a strength.
