Shore notched an assist in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
Shore has a helper in four of his last five outings, a stretch that has gone a long way to keeping him in the lineup. The 28-year-old helped out on a Derek Ryan tally in the first period. Shore is up to nine points, 27 shots on net, 40 hits, 23 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating through 40 outings this season. He should remain a fixture on the Oilers' fourth line even if his offense slips.

Shore posted an assist in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
Shore has logged a helper in three straight contests, which is likely helping his cause to stay in the lineup over Klim Kostin. The 28-year-old Shore hasn't added much offense this season with eight points, 26 shots on net and a plus-7 rating through 38 contests in a bottom-six role. As such, fantasy managers are unlikely to be concerned about his production unless he can continue this hot stretch for an extended time.

Shore logged an assist and three shots on goal in Monday's 3-2 win over the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
Shore has a helper in each of his last two games, which is serving to keep him in the lineup. The 28-year-old forward has just seven points with 26 shots on net, 39 hits and a plus-6 rating through 37 contests overall. His place in the lineup could be in jeopardy once Evander Kane (upper body) can return, especially if head coach Jay Woodcroft opts to return to the seven-defensemen lineups that have brought the Oilers success in 2023.

Shore notched an assist in Saturday's 7-5 loss to the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Shore assisted on Nick Bjugstad's first goal as an Oiler at 2:55 of the third period. With the Oilers missing Evander Kane (upper body) and Klim Kostin (healthy scratch), Shore maintained his spot in an 11-forward lineup. The arrival of Bjugstad in a trade from the Coyotes could jeopardize Shore's playing time once the Oilers are fully healthy. Through 36 outings overall, Shore has six points, 23 shots on net, 39 hits, 21 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating in a mainly defensive role on the fourth line.

Shore was reassigned to AHL Bakersfield and then promptly recalled by Edmonton on Friday, per Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic.
EDGE Analysis
Shore's very brief time in the minors will allow him to stay eligible for the upcoming 2023 AHL playoffs. He has a goal and five points in 34 games with Edmonton this season. He's also recorded two goals and five points in five contests with Bakersfield in 2022-23.

Shore was recalled by the Oilers on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
With Jesse Puljujarvi traded to Carolina on Tuesday, the Oilers were in need of another forward, so Shore will join the big club and potentially draw into the lineup against Toronto on Wednesday. He's picked up five points through 33 top-level appearances this season.

Shore was demoted to AHL Bakersfield on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Shore has five points in 33 games this season. The 28-year-old could be recalled again in the near future.

Shore scored a goal and blocked two shots in Thursday's 7-2 win over the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
Two of Shore's five points this season have come in his last three games. The 28-year-old got his first goal of the campaign at 7:50 of the second period in Thursday's lopsided win. The Ontario native has added 19 shots on net, 37 hits, 20 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through 32 contests in a fourth-line role. As long as Evander Kane (upper body) and Klim Kostin (illness) are out, Shore's spot in the lineup should be safe.

Shore posted an assist in Sunday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
With Klim Kostin (illness) and Evander Kane (upper body) out, Shore, who is on an emergency recall, was able to get into the Oilers' lineup for the first time since Dec. 31. He made the most of the rare opportunity, setting up Tyson Barrie's second-period tally. Shore has four helpers, 18 shots on net, 34 hits, 16 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating while averaging just 8:40 of ice time per game over 30 contests this season. Once the Oilers' forward group is healthy again, Shore will likely be sent back to AHL Bakersfield since he cleared waivers last Monday.

Shore was called up from AHL Bakersfield on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
This is likely an emergency recall -- the Oilers played with 17 skaters Friday versus the Rangers since Klim Kostin (illness) was out. If Kostin can't play Sunday versus the Avalanche, Shore would likely enter the lineup in a bottom-six role.
