Gagner was called up from AHL Bakersfield on Wednesday, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Oilers are bolstering their forward depth ahead of their last two games of the regular season. The 34-year-old had 10 points across 27 top-level games earlier in the campaign. He'll likely fill a bottom-six role at some point during the team's last back-to-back of the regular season.

Gagner was reassigned to AHL Bakersfield on Wednesday, per Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic.

EDGE Analysis

Although Gagner cleared waivers, he was initially kept on Edmonton's roster. However, after the Oilers acquired Adam Henrique and Sam Carrick from Anaheim on Wednesday, the decision was made to send Gagner to the minors. The 34-year-old has five goals and 10 points in 27 outings with the Oilers in 2023-24.

Gagner is expected to remain in the NHL if he clears waivers Wednesday, Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gagner being waived by Edmonton on Tuesday was a maneuver to give the team options ahead of the trade deadline. The Oilers hope to acquire a defenseman and should such a move come to fruition, they'll be able to temporarily assign Gagner to AHL Bakersfield to stay cap compliant. He has five goals and 10 points in 27 top-level contests this season.

Gagner was placed on waivers Tuesday by Edmonton.

EDGE Analysis

Gagner played Sunday against Pittsburgh and recorded four shots -- prior to that he had been scratched for five straight games. Assuming he passes through waivers unclaimed, look for Gagner to head to Edmonton's AHL affiliate.

Gagner has been scratched for six of the Oilers' 10 games in February.

EDGE Analysis

Gagner has been the Oilers' most frequent healthy scratch during a stretch in which the team is fully healthy and carrying only one extra skater. The 34-year-old doesn't have a point since Jan. 20, though he's played just six times since then. Overall, he's at 10 points, 44 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating through 26 appearances.

Gagner scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

The Oilers' superstars were mostly quieted, but Gagner was able to make an impact from the fourth line in his second game back from an undisclosed injury. The 34-year-old scored early in the third period, and that goal was the game-winner. He has 10 points, 41 shots on net and a plus-3 rating over 20 appearances this season. If Gagner continues to play well, it may be difficult for Adam Erne to find his way back into the lineup.

Gagner (undisclosed) will be in action versus Seattle on Thursday, Mark Spector of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gagner will suit up for the first time since Dec. 21 against the Devils, a stretch of 10 games out of the lineup. With Gagner cleared to play, Adam Erne will find himself relegated to the press box. The veteran Gagner has managed nine points through 18 outings this season and could push for the 20-point threshold after missing that mark last year.

Gagner (undisclosed) won't be in the lineup Tuesday versus the Maple Leafs, according to Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton.

EDGE Analysis

Gagner, who might still be dealing with concussion-like symptoms, hasn't been in the lineup since Dec. 21 against New Jersey. Gregor reported Tuesday that Gagner hasn't been cleared to return to the lineup yet. According to the Oilers' official site, the 34-year-old forward skated as an extra during Tuesday's morning skate. Gagner has nine points and 39 shots on goal in 18 appearances this campaign.

Gagner (undisclosed) is still banged up, which is why he didn't take the spot of Ryan McLeod (illness) for Saturday's game versus the Canadiens, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gagner was reportedly cleared of a concussion Jan. 5, but he hasn't gotten back into the lineup. Gregor's report sheds light as for why Gagner has been sitting out. The 34-year-old will miss his ninth straight game Saturday and should be considered out indefinitely until a further update is available.

Gagner (concussion) pronounced himself good to go for Saturday's game versus Ottawa on Friday, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gagner missed five games with the injury. The 34-year-old veteran has four goals, five assists, 12 hits and 39 shots on goal in 18 contests this season. Gagner should draw into the lineup as a bottom-six forward and see some time on the second power play.
