Dickinson (leg) will be a game-time decision for Game 1 versus Anaheim on Monday, Mark Spector of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

As is typical in the postseason, head coach Kris Knoblauch wouldn't reveal whether Dickinson or Leon Draisaitl (lower body) will be ready to play Monday. Still, Dickinson has been working in the third-line center role in the lead-up to Game 1, which would seem to indicate that he'll be ready to go.

Dickinson (leg) will be reevaluated ahead of the postseason, ruling him out for the next two games, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dickinson is currently mired in a 13-game goal drought, and now he will have to wait until the playoffs before he gets another opportunity to find the back of the net. During his slump, the Ontario native has managed just 17 shots on net. He'd likely need to shoot more to end the drought, but his role is primarily a defensive one when he's in the lineup.

Dickinson (leg) won't play against Colorado on Monday, Tom Gazzola of Edmonton Sports Talk reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dickinson will miss his second straight game, and it's unclear if he will be back in the fold for Thursday's regular-season finale against Vancouver. He has supplied seven goals and 17 points in 64 games between Edmonton and Chicago this season.

Dickinson (leg) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Kings, Bob Stauffer of the Oilers Radio Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dickinson exited Wednesday's game against the Sharks after taking a blocked shot to the back of his leg, and he needed to be helped off the ice. Head coach Kris Knoblauch said Friday that Dickinson doesn't yet have a timetable to return, but the 30-year-old will be unavailable for at least one game. Curtis Lazar will likely enter the lineup against Los Angeles.

Dickinson left Wednesday's game versus the Sharks after taking a blocked shot to the back of the leg in the third period, Jamie Umbach of the Oilers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dickinson needed help off the ice, which isn't a good sign. The 30-year-old will be considered day-to-day ahead of Saturday's game versus the Kings. If Dickinson is out, Curtis Lazar will likely check into the lineup, while Adam Henrique could be tasked with a larger role.

Dickinson scored a goal, served six PIM and dished out five hits in Thursday's 7-2 loss to the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Dickinson found the back of the net just under 12 minutes into the second period to grab his first goal with the Oilers. Across 51 games between Chicago and Edmonton this season, he has seven goals, 14 points, 56 shots on net, 68 hits and 40 blocked shots. He should continue to serve as the Oilers' third-line center, and his change of scenery could lead to Dickinson making an impact in deep fantasy leagues down the stretch of the regular season.

Dickinson and Colton Dach were traded Wednesday to the Oilers from the Blackhawks in exchange for Andrew Mangiapane and a 2027 first-round pick, freelance insider Frank Seravalli reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dickinson is the Oilers' latest option to fill a true third-line role, which means Ryan Nugent-Hopkins should be a full-time winger moving forward. Dickinson has just 13 points in 47 outings this season, but he's added 51 hits and 36 blocked shots. Look for Dickinson to also receive ample time on the penalty kill with the Oilers.

Dickinson (illness) is good to play Thursday versus Nashville, per Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times.

EDGE Analysis

Dickinson was battling the illness during the Olympic break, but he won't end up missing a game due to it. He has six goals and 13 points in 43 outings in 2025-26. Dickinson is projected to serve on the third line alongside Ryan Donato and Ilya Mikheyev on Thursday.

Dickinson left Thursday's practice session early due to an illness, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dickinson has missed just one game since mid-November, and he's recorded six goals, seven assists, 45 hits, 33 blocked shots and 10 PIM while averaging 15:43 of ice time over 43 appearances this season. The Blackhawks don't resume play until Feb. 26 against the Predators, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Dickinson recover in time to suit up for that matchup.

Dickinson notched two assists and a plus-3 rating in Monday's 6-3 win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Dickinson has three helpers over his last four games. The 30-year-old center has a total of 13 points, 50 shots on net, 45 hits, 33 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating through 42 outings. He posted 16 points in 59 contests last season, so he's scoring at a slightly better pace in 2025-26. Dickinson remains in a shutdown role in Chicago's middle six.
