Ryan was reassigned to AHL Bakersfield on Monday, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ryan was essentially a salary cap casualty for the Oilers, as his demotion and various injuries will force the team to utilize just 11 forwards against the Kings on Monday. In his 36 NHL games this year, the veteran center has generated just one goal and five assists. Even if he does rejoin the team for the postseason, Ryan is far from a lock to see minutes and could serve as a healthy scratch more often than not.

Ryan notched an assist and two shots on goal in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Ryan is with the Oilers on an emergency recall since the team has four of its regular forwards unavailable. This was his first NHL game since March 26 and his first point since Jan. 4. The 38-year-old is at six points, 20 shots on net, 25 hits, 21 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over 36 appearances. It's possible he stays around with the big club for the playoffs, especially if AHL Bakersfield doesn't qualify for the minor-league postseason.

Ryan was recalled from AHL Bakersfield on Saturday on an emergency basis, Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ryan will rejoin the big club ahead of Saturday's game in Winnipeg as the Oilers continue to deal with injuries up front. The 38-year-old Ryan has appeared in 35 NHL games this season, logging a goal and five points.

Ryan was loaned to AHL Bakersfield on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The Oilers recalled goaltender Olivier Rodrigue from the minors on an emergency basis in a corresponding move because of the absence of Stuart Skinner (head). Ryan has one goal, four assists, 18 shots on net, 21 blocked shots and 25 hits in 35 NHL outings this season. His demotion probably means that Edmonton intends to dress 11 forwards and seven defensemen against Seattle on Thursday.

Ryan was recalled from AHL Bakersfield on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Ryan has produced one goal, four assists, 17 shots on net, 21 blocked shots and 24 hits in 33 NHL appearances this season. He will be an option for Tuesday's matchup versus Utah but will probably be a health scratch.

Ryan was placed on waivers Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Ryan had served as a healthy scratch in 11 of Edmonton's last 15 games. He's appeared in 33 contests overall this year, tallying a goal and five points. The 38-year-old Ryan figures to report to AHL Bakersfield, should he clear waivers.

Ryan logged an assist in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Kraken.

EDGE Analysis

Ryan got into the lineup for the third time in eight games. All of his appearances in that span have come in the second half of back-to-back sets, with this one coming at the expense of Corey Perry. Ryan's no lock to pick up more playing time in January, and even if he does, it'll be in a fourth-line role that offers minimal fantasy value. The 38-year-old has five points, 17 shots on net, 23 hits, 21 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a minus-5 rating through 32 contests this season.

Ryan scored a goal in Thursday's 7-1 win over the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

The Oilers got contributions from all over the lineup Thursday, and Ryan chipped in with a goal late in the third period. The 37-year-old center snapped his eight-game point drought in the process. He has one goal, two assists, 17 shots on net, 18 hits, 16 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a minus-5 rating over 27 contests this season. Ryan is firmly locked in on the fourth line, a role that offers almost no upside in Edmonton.

Ryan (illness) is expected to be in the lineup Friday versus Utah.

EDGE Analysis

Ryan missed practice Tuesday due to the illness, but a gap in the Oilers' schedule looks to have helped him avoid missing any games. The 37-year-old will play on the fourth line, and he should have some security in the lineup until Viktor Arvidsson (undisclosed) and Zach Hyman (undisclosed) return.

Ryan missed practice Tuesday while dealing with an illness, Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ryan will have plenty of time to get healthy ahead of Friday's matchup with Utah. The veteran forward is mired in a season-long 20-game goal drought during which he recorded just 13 shots and two helpers. Given his lack of offensive upside, Ryan's potential absence is unlikely to impact the majority of fantasy players.
