Pouliot will not play Wednesday against the Bruins due to a lower-body injury.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear exactly when Pouliot's injury occurred exactly, but it may have happened late in Monday's game against the Maple Leafs. He's been ruled out for Wednesday, likely resulting in Luke Gazdic drawing into the lineup in his place. The winger's next chance to return will come Friday against the Stars.

Pouliot provided the only goal for the Oilers in a 4-1 loss to the Hurricanes on Wednesday. It was a power-play tally.

EDGE Analysis

Pouliot reached 100 career goals with Wednesday's marker. It was the winger's second point in the past five games.

Pouliot (illness) returned to the lineup Saturday, putting five shots on net but finishing with a minus-3 rating against the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Pouliot missed Thursday's game with an illness, but returned to face the Kings on Saturday, playing 16:16 of ice time and 2:40 of power play time. He should be good to go moving forward, and he'll look to add to his nine points on the season in Wednesday's game against the Blackhawks.

Pouliot (illness) was on the ice for practice Friday, reports Oilers web site.

EDGE Analysis

Pouliot missed the game Thursday with an illness but is expected to be able to play Saturday versus the Kings.

Pouliot (illness) will not play in Thursday's game against the Coyotes.

EDGE Analysis

Pouliot played in all three periods of Wednesday's tilt against the Ducks, notching an assist and one shot on goal, so it seems as though the illness that will hold him out of Thursday's contest is likely a minor one. The Oilers recalled Anton Slepyshev on Thursday, who will likely replace Pouliot in Edmonton's lineup for Thursday night's game against the Coyotes. Pouliot, who has tallied nine points (three goals, six assists) in 16 games this season, will hope to return to action Saturday against L.A.

Pouliot has tallied three goals and five assists in 14 games this 2015-16 season.

EDGE Analysis

In the final eight games of the 2014-15 season, Pouliot was able to finish strong and add 10 points to complete his rather unimpressive campaign. 14 games into this 2015-16 season Pouliot has remained a secondary scorer as he has failed to record a multi-point game. The loss of Connor McDavid(shoulder) for several months does not help Pouliot's cause, but has allowed him to see an average of 16 minutes of ice time a game.

Pouliot notched his first point of the year Tuesday, assisting on Oscar Klefbom's second-period tally in a loss to the Stars. He finished minus-1 with three shots and two penalty minutes.

EDGE Analysis

One of the bright spots for the Oilers when healthy last season, Pouliot didn't do much in the first two games of the year before becoming more involved in Tuesday's contest. If he can stay on the ice, Pouliot seems to be a candidate to exceed his fairly modest career highs in goals (19) and points (36), as he's seeing heavy power-play time alongside the Oilers' most talented players in the early going.

Pouliot potted his 19th goal of the season and added two assists in Saturday's loss to Vancouver. Pouliot finished the season strong, racking up two goals and four points in his last three games. The 28-year-old registered 34 points, including four power-play goals, in 58 games on the season. He's proved he can be a reliable secondary scorer behind top offensive guns Taylor Hall, Jordan Eberle and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins.

Pouliot scored a goal and added an assist in Friday's 4-0 win over the Stars. Believe it or not, Pouliot actually has 10 points in the last eight games, which is a decent amount of sizzle no matter how you spin it. He's only got 30 points on the year but has come alive of late as the Oilers wind down yet another season where they'll miss the playoffs.

Pouliot nabbed two assists in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Avalanche. The winger now has 16 goals and 12 assists through 50 games this year, and actually sports a plus-1 rating for the struggling Oilers.
