Russell scored an empty-net goal, added an assist, levied four hits and blocked five shots in Friday's 6-3 win over the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Russell's last multi-point effort was a two-assist game versus the Flames on March 6, 2021. The veteran defenseman is rarely a big contributor on offense, but he played a noticeable part in this contest, and he absorbed extra ice time after Darnell Nurse (lower body) left the game. Russell is at nine points, 31 shots on net, 64 blocked shots, 29 hits and a plus-9 rating through 28 outings, matching his point total from each of the last two seasons.

Russell notched an assist in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Russell helped out on an Evander Kane in the first period. This was Russell's second straight game with a point after he scored in a 4-0 win over the Golden Knights on Saturday. The 34-year-old defenseman isn't known for his offense -- he's at seven points, 30 shots on net, 59 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating through 27 outings this season.

Russell scored the game-winning goal Saturday in a 4-0 win over Vegas.

EDGE Analysis

Russell took a pass from Zack Kassian and scored from the high slot at 16:26 of the first period. It was his first goal in 146 games -- he hadn't scored since Mar. 17, 2019, remarkably also against the Golden Knights.

Russell has cleared the COVID-19 protocols but is unlikely to play Tuesday versus the Sharks, Bob Stauffer of the Oilers Radio Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Russell went into the virus protocols last Monday, but he's now healthy again. The 34-year-old should resume a part-time role on the blue line, where he's unlikely to see more than third-pairing usage.

Russell has entered the league's COVID-19 protocols and will not play Monday against the Coyotes.

EDGE Analysis

With just eight points, 20 hits and 55 blocked shots this season, there shouldn't be too many fantasy managers that miss Russell while he's unavailable. Nonetheless, look for further info on the veteran blueliner ahead of Wednesday's game against the Kings.

Russell suffered an undisclosed injury that will sideline him versus Arizona on Monday, Jason Gregor of OilersNation.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Russell has already missed the previous two contests and is far from a lock for the lineup even when cleared to play. Considering the 34-year-old defenseman hasn't recorded a goal since 2018-19, fantasy players shouldn't be expecting much in the way of offensive production out of him moving forward.

Russell provided an assist and fired three shots on goal in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

Russell set up a Tyson Barrie tally in the third period, which tied the game at 3-3. This was Russell's second game back from a six-week absence due to an undisclosed injury. The defenseman has five helpers, 49 blocked shots, 23 shots on net and a plus-9 rating while playing an ultra-defensive role on the third pairing.

Russell (undisclosed) was activated from long-term injured reserve and will play Thursday against Buffalo.

EDGE Analysis

The 34-year-old rearguard missed 19 games with the injury after producing just four points in 20 games. Russell is likely set for third-line duty, where he'll undoubtedly resume throwing his body in front of pucks (48 blocked shots this season).

Russell (undisclosed) was moved to long-term injured reserve Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Russell has already missed Edmonton's last 11 games and hasn't played since January. This is simply a paper move that could help the Oilers as the trade deadline approaches. The veteran defenseman has four assists through 20 games this season.

Russell was placed on injured reserve Monday with an undisclosed injury.

EDGE Analysis

Russell missed the team's Feb. 2 clash with Washington before the All-Star break and now appears poised to miss some additional time. At a minimum, the defenseman won't be an option for the Oilers' upcoming back-to-back, though it could certainly be longer.
