Summary
Curtis Lazar quietly delivered big value for the Oilers this season, proving his worth as a veteran depth center despite modest offensive stats. With 61.2% faceoff wins and a strong penalty kill presence, he anchored the bottom-six and helped the team go 6-1-1 when he played. His defensive impact was clear — goals allowed dropped when he was on the ice. Signed for just $775K, Lazar exceeded expectations as a reliable, physical, and smart player, making his future re-signing a likely move for a cheap, proven veteran option.
