Turris has exited the NHL's COVID-19 protocols Thursday and he'll be eligible to play versus the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Turris has mainly played in a fourth-line role this season, so his return to action isn't likely to make an impact in fantasy. He missed just one game while in the protocols.

Turris entered the NHL's COVID-19 protocols Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The Oilers are off until Saturday versus Ottawa, so Turris may not be forced to miss any time despite entering the league's virus protocols Wednesday. Another update on Turris' status should surface prior to puck drop against the Senators.

Turris logged an assist in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

Turris helped out on Brendan Perlini's first-period marker. The assist was Turris' second in as many games. The 32-year-old forward is up to four points, 19 shots on net, 12 hits and a minus-5 rating in 21 contests. Even with Connor McDavid and Derek Ryan in the COVID-19 protocols, Turris remains in a fourth-line role on the wing, so he'll have limited appeal in fantasy.

Turris notched an assist and three shots on goal in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Turris snapped an eight-game point drought with the secondary helper on Ryan McLeod's tally. Through 20 games this season, Turris has just three points, 18 shots on net, 12 hits and a minus-6 rating. He's been limited to bottom-six minutes in a part-time role, so he's not much of a factor in fantasy.

Turris (undisclosed) will rejoin the Oilers' lineup Wednesday versus the Blues, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.

EDGE Analysis

Turris missed a game Dec. 18 against the Kraken due to an undisclosed injury, but that'll be the extent of his absence after the league's holiday break was extended. The 32-year-old will play in his usual bottom-six role.

Turris (undisclosed) was injured blocking a shot in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets, and he won't play Saturday against the Kraken, Jack Michaels of the Oilers Radio Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Turris' injury comes at an awful time for the Oilers, who will play with only 17 skaters in the contest. His next chance to return is Monday versus the Ducks.

Turris produced an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

Turris earned the secondary helper on Ryan McLeod's tally in the second period. The 32-year-old Turris doesn't score like he used to, as he's managed just two points and nine shots on net through 11 contests. He's averaged 8:27 of ice time per game this year, and he's prone to an occasional trip to the press box as a healthy scratch, so fantasy managers need not roster him.

Turris scored a goal on two shots in Monday's 5-2 win over the Kraken.

EDGE Analysis

Turris added some insurance in the third period as the Oilers' fourth line made a rare contribution to the offense. It was the first goal and point of the year for Turris, who has averaged under nine minutes of ice time per game. The veteran forward has added six shots, three hits and a minus-2 rating. With such a limited role, the Canadian isn't likely to make enough of an impact to warrant fantasy attention.

Turris will not be reassigned to AHL Bakersfield despite clearing waivers Monday, Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

While Turris is poised to remain on the 23-man roster for Opening Night against Vancouver on Wednesday, the fact that he cleared waivers will allow the Oilers to bury his contract in the minors if needed. If Turris can maintain his place on the roster, he should fill a bottom-six role but could still be utilized on the man advantage considering he has 119 career power-play points.

Turris was designated for waivers Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The fact that Turris recorded just five points in 27 games last year and carries a $1.65 million cap hit means he'll likely pass through waivers unclaimed. If so, it's unclear at this point if the Oilers plan for the 32-year-old to suit up in Edmonton or down in AHL Bakersfield to start 2021-22.
