Neal (undisclosed) had one shot and two hits with two PIM in a 6-1 loss to Toronto on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

After having missed the last four games, Neal was given a shot on Connor McDavid's line in his return but failed to produce any offense in his 11:07 of ice time. The veteran winger has just two goals and three assists on the year and hasn't been the power-play weapon he was in 2019-20, when he tallied 12 times with the man advantage.

Neal (undisclosed) will play in Wednesday's game versus the Maple Leafs, Bob Stauffer of the Oilers Radio Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Neal will return to action after a four-game layoff. He's expected to flank Connor McDavid on the first line as he tries adding to the five points he's accrued through 11 games this year.

Neal (undisclosed) will not be in the lineup against Toronto on Monday, Kevin McGran of The Toronto Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

Neal will miss his fourth consecutive game with his unknown injury. The 33-year-old winger will be questionable for Wednesday's rematch with the Maple Leafs. He has five points through 11 games this season.

Neal (undisclosed) won't play in Saturday's game versus the Maple Leafs, per the NHL's official media site.

EDGE Analysis

It's still unclear what's bothering Neal, who has served as a healthy scratch this season. Nevertheless, he'll miss a third straight game. His next chance to crack the lineup is Monday's rematch versus Toronto. The 33-year-old has registered five points through 11 games this year.

Neal (undisclosed) didn't travel with the Oilers' for their two-game set against the Canucks in Vancouver, Mark Spector of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

The specific nature of Neal's issue remains a mystery, but he'll miss Edmonton's next two games at a minimum. Joakim Nygard is expected to get the first crack at replacing Neal on the Oilers' fourth line against the Canucks on Tuesday.

Neal posted a power-play assist in Saturday's 7-1 win over the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Neal had the secondary helper on Ryan Nugent-Hopkins' second goal of the contest, which made it 6-1 in the second period. The 33-year-old Neal has assists in consecutive games, but he's at a modest five points and 23 shots on net in 11 games overall. There's not much fantasy appeal for the winger when his even-strength minutes are coming on the fourth line.

Neal posted an assist in Friday's 2-1 win over the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Neal got the puck to the net late in the second period, and Gaetan Haas buried it for the Oilers' second tally. The 33-year-old Neal has seen time as a healthy scratch recently, so he's far from a lock in the lineup. He skated 11:14 on the fourth line Friday, and he's listed on the second power-play unit, so there's little reason to expect much offense from the veteran winger. Neal has four points, 23 shots on net and 11 hits through 10 appearances.

Neal is expected to be promoted to the active roster and play in Friday's game versus the Flames, Jack Michaels of the Oilers Radio Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Neal is expected to skate on the Oilers' fourth line and second power-play unit Friday. The 33-year-old winger has picked up three points through nine games this campaign.

Neal was assigned to the taxi squad Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Neal cleared waivers Sunday and will land on the taxi squad. This move affords the Oilers more salary-cap flexibility. The 33-year-old posted two goals and an assist through the first nine games. He's signed through the 2022-23 season at an annual cap hit of $5.75 million.

Neal was waived by the Oilers on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Neal has served as a healthy scratch in two of the last five games, and he's accrued just three points through the nine games he has played this year. The 33-year-old is signed through the 2022-23 season at a cap hit of $5.75 million AAV. In turn, it seems unlikely that another team scoops him off waivers.
