Oilers' Mattias Janmark: Snags assist Saturday
Rotowire
Janmark recorded an assist, two shots on goal, two hits and two PIM in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Hurricanes.
Janmark has two helpers over his last six contests. He was also a healthy scratch once in that span. The Oilers have rotated Janmark, Corey Perry, Jeff Skinner, Kasperi Kapanen and Matthew Savoie out of the lineup at times, so none of those players can be considered a safe bet in fantasy. Janmark helps his cause through defensive play, and he's had an alright year on offense with 17 points, 38 shots on net and a minus-5 rating across 59 appearances.

Oilers' Mattias Janmark: Garners helper in overtime win
Rotowire
Janmark logged an assist in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blackhawks.
This was Janmark's first helper since Dec. 22 versus the Senators. He also has just one goal over his last 20 outings, though it shouldn't be considered unusual for him to go through long droughts given his bottom-six role. The 32-year-old has produced 16 points, 33 shots on net, 22 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating across 54 contests in 2024-25, which is already better than his 12-point 2023-24 regular season.

Oilers' Mattias Janmark: Notches helper in win
Rotowire
Janmark logged an assist in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Senators.
Janmark has four helpers over 10 games in December. After Viktor Arvidsson returned from an undisclosed injury, Janmark had been bumped down to the fourth line, but the latter moved back up to the third line with Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (illness) unavailable Sunday. The 32-year-old Janmark has contributed 14 points, 17 shots on net and a minus-1 rating over 34 appearances this season. He fills a defensive role in the bottom six, and while he's never been a volume shooter, his low shot total in 2024-25 doesn't bode well for sustaining offense in the long run.

Oilers' Mattias Janmark: Records pair of helpers
Rotowire
Janmark notched two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Rangers.
Janmark set up a Darnell Nurse shorthanded tally in the first period and fed Evan Bouchard for a goal in the middle frame. Over the past eight games, Janmark has racked up seven assists, though he's 10 outings removed from his last goal. The defensive forward is up to 10 points, 12 shots, nine hits, seven blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 22 appearances. Janmark's lack of non-scoring production keeps him off the radar for most fantasy formats, but he's been a decent depth scorer in 2024-25.

Oilers' Mattias Janmark: Posts assist in overtime win
Rotowire
Janmark notched an assist in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Predators.
Janmark has four helpers over his last three games after assisting on a Darnell Nurse tally in the second period. The 31-year-old Janmark is up to one goal, six assists, 10 shots on net and a minus-1 rating through 17 appearances. He's playing regularly in the bottom six, and while he's warm on offense, fantasy managers can likely find more productive options on the waiver wire in most formats.

Oilers' Mattias Janmark: Distributes three helpers in win
Rotowire
Janmark notched three assists and went plus-2 in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Canucks.
Janmark helped out one goal by Corey Perry and two others from Connor Brown. The three-point effort doubled Janmark's total for the season to six (one goal, five helpers). He's added nine shots on net, eight hits and an even plus-minus rating through 15 appearances. The 31-year-old is a fixture in the Oilers' bottom six, but he won't have many games like this one, so he typically doesn't need to be rostered in fantasy.

Oilers' Mattias Janmark: Dealing with undisclosed injury
Rotowire
Janmark is considered day-to-day after suffering an undisclosed injury, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports Thursday.
Janmark has underwhelmed offensively this season, having managed just one point in his last nine outings and one goal in 14 games to start the 2024-25 campaign. The winger will have some time to get healthy before Saturday's matchup with Vancouver but should probably be considered questionable at this point. If Janmark can't go, the Oilers will either need to bring a forward up from AHL Bakersfield or roll with 11 forwards and seven defensemen.

Oilers' Mattias Janmark: Fills empty cage
Rotowire
Janmark scored an empty-net goal on two shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Flames.
The Flames kept a lot of pressure on the Oilers' zone with the goalie pulled, but Janmark was able to deposit the empty-netter once Edmonton got possession. This was Janmark's first goal of the season, and it ended a six-game point drought. The 31-year-old defensive forward has three points, nine shots on net, five hits, four PIM and a minus-2 rating through 12 appearances this season. Janmark doesn't see power-play time and often fills a third-line role at even strength.

Oilers' Mattias Janmark: Offers assist Thursday
Rotowire
Janmark logged an assist in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Predators.
Janmark set up a Brett Kulak tally in the first period. With a helper in each of the last two games, Janmark's offense has picked up in step with the Oilers' increased success as a team. The defensive forward has added five shots on net and a plus-1 rating across five appearances. He'll likely be a fixture in the lineup for his penalty-killing skill, but Janmark shouldn't be counted on for steady offense.

Oilers' Mattias Janmark: Scores lone goal in Game 7 loss
Rotowire
Janmark scored a goal in Monday's 2-1 loss to the Panthers in Game 7.
Janmark had four points over the last four games, but the Oilers weren't able to complete a comeback for the ages. The 31-year-old forward produced eight points in 25 playoff outings after being limited to 12 points in 71 regular-season contests. He's one of seven NHL-level unrestricted free-agent forwards for the Oilers, and it's unclear if he'll re-sign with the team. Janmark's defensive skills could make him a coveted depth option for any number of teams if he makes it to the market July 1.

Rotowire
Janmark scored a shorthanded goal on two shots in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Stars in Game 4.
Janmark's goal at 14:31 of the second period was the first special-teams tally for either team in the series.
