Lazar scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

Lazar had been scratched for six of the previous eight games. His goal Tuesday snapped a seven-game point drought as well, and it was just his second point since he returned from an upper-body injury in November. The 30-year-old is now at three goals, 10 shots, 44 hits, 12 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 21 appearances this season. Adam Henrique (undisclosed) is set to miss some time, which should keep the door open for Lazar to occupy a fourth-line role in the short-term, but he doesn't do enough to help in most fantasy formats.

Lazar scored a goal and went plus-2 in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

This was Lazar's first goal since his season debut Oct. 18 versus the Devils. The 30-year-old has been back for four games after missing four due to an upper-body injury. Lazar has been exclusively in a bottom-six role when he plays, and he has two goals, five shots on net, 24 hits, nine blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 13 appearances. Fantasy managers can find more productive depth forwards on the waiver wire.

Lazar (upper body) is slated to return to the lineup Saturday in Seattle, per Tony Brar of Oilers TV.

EDGE Analysis

Lazar missed four games with the injury. The 30-year-old journeyman has one goal in nine games with the Oilers this season. He should line up on the fourth line against the Kraken.

Lazar (upper body) will be out for at least another week, according to Tony Brar of Oilers TV on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Lazar has already missed the last three games, and he will be out for at least two more, starting with Tuesday's matchup against Dallas. However, his week-to-week status could keep him out longer. Lazar has picked up one goal, three shots on net, five blocked shots and 19 hits across nine appearances this season.

Lazar sustained an upper-body injury that will sideline him for the remaining three games of the Oilers' road trip, Bob Stauffer of the Oilers Radio Network reports Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Even when healthy, Lazar has struggled to produce offensively, generating zero points in his last eight appearances. Due to Edmonton's cap situation, the team will be forced to deploy seven defensemen for the time being, as the club is also without Noah Philp (upper body) for the rest of the road trip. Given Lazar's recovery timeline, it wouldn't be a shock to see him designated for injured reserve.

Lazar scored a goal and added two hits in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

Lazar played the last two years with New Jersey before signing with the Oilers in free agency. This was his debut for Edmonton, and he scored in the dying seconds of the game, though it wasn't enough to avoid the loss. Last year, Lazar was limited to five points, 107 hits and a minus-6 rating in 48 regular-season appearances, but he had a career-best 25 points in 71 outings the year before. Without consistent playing time for the Oilers, he's a fantasy risk -- especially since rookie Isaac Howard was scratched to make space for Lazar's team debut.

Lazar secured a one-year, $775,000 contract with Edmonton on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Lazar was limited to just 48 regular-season games last year, in part due to injuries, which saw him generate just five points. With the Oilers, Lazar figures to step into a fourth-line role and could find himself periodically serving as a healthy scratch. As such, Lazar shouldn't be expected to offer much in the way of fantasy value this year -- except perhaps in the hits category.

Lazar (undisclosed) was present for the morning skate and is expected to play Saturday against the Senators, per Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site.

EDGE Analysis

Lazar appears poised to return to the lineup after missing Thursday's 5-3 loss to Calgary. The veteran forward has two goals and five points through 42 games in a bottom-six role this season.

Lazar (undisclosed) is set to miss Thursday's game against Calgary, per Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site.

EDGE Analysis

Lazar also missed Wednesday's practice because of bumps and bruises. He has two goals, five points and 93 hits in 42 appearances in 2024-25. Daniel Sprong is set to draw into the lineup due to Lazar's absence.

Lazar scored a goal on two shots and added three hits in Saturday's 3-1 win over Utah.

EDGE Analysis

Lazar had been scratched in the previous two games after going seven contests without a point. He snapped that slump, as well as a 22-game goal drought, when he added an insurance tally in the third period. The 30-year-old hasn't come anywhere close to replicating last year's 25-point effort over 71 regular-season outings. This season, he has five points, 22 shots on net, 79 hits and a plus-1 rating across 34 appearances, mainly as a fourth-liner.
