Kapanen steps into prime power-play role as Oilers visit Devils
Kasperi Kapanen heads into tonight’s road matchup against the New Jersey Devils at Prudential Center in an enviable offensive situation. While there are no fresh injury updates regarding Kapanen himself, Edmonton's top-six adjustments have elevated the veteran to second-line right wing alongside Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and earned him plum deployment on the first power-play unit alongside Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl. That premium role has driven a noticeable surge in fantasy interest, with his ownership rate jumping to 27%. Edmonton enters as a slight underdog in an expected higher-scoring environment, looking to maintain their conference-leading form while likely facing Connor Hellebuyck (unconfirmed) in net.
Our daily projection anticipates a solid all-around showing for Kapanen, modeling ~0.5–1.0 point, ~1–2 shots on goal, and steady physical contribution with ~2–3 hits, amounting to roughly 2.1 fantasy points. His placement on the top man-advantage unit gives him a clear path to exceed that total if Edmonton converts on special teams. Looking at the weekly schedule, the Oilers have three total games on the slate this week, leaving two matchups remaining after tonight, with our projections forecasting 6.2 fantasy points over the full stretch. Given his current power-play exposure and accessible roster status, he stands out as an appealing target. Today’s action: Stream.
