## Resource

The Edmonton Oilers, despite a challenging 2025-2026 season, saw promising developments from key players. Vasily Podkolzin and Matt Savoie, offseason acquisitions, excelled, with Podkolzin setting career highs and Savoie outperforming veterans. Rookies like Josh Samanski and Connor Ingram also shone, with Samanski excelling defensively and Ingram bouncing back strongly. These improvements, amidst significant bottom-six turnover and injuries, offer hope for the Oilers future, with Savoie, Podkolzin, and prospects like Isaac Howard poised for bigger roles next season.
