Korpikoski tallied a goal on four shots, a hit and a plus-1 rating in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

Korpikoski continues to be on a bit of a hot streak, as he's now recorded three goals in his last five games. That brings the 29-year-old up to nine goals on the season, which ties his highest total since the 2013-14 campaign. While it wouldn't be wise to expect any sort of goal scoring outbursts here, Korpikoski brings a small amount of value for those in the deepest of leagues.

Korpikoski scored the game-winning goal Sunday against the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

He may be skating on the third line, but Korpikoski has scored twice in his last three games and has helped Edmonton pick up victories in four of their last five outings. The 29-year-old only has 17 points (eight goals) in 57 games, but if the Oilers keep rolling, the former 19-goal-scorer with Arizona could be worth adding in some very deep leagues.

Korpikoski notched two helpers -- one on the power play -- Thursday in a 7-2 mauling of the Senators.

EDGE Analysis

Generally better known for his penalty killing, Korpikoski only saw 20 seconds of power-play time toward the end of this game, but still picked up the secondary assist on Brandon Davidson's goal. Don't expect a whole lot more of this from Korpikoski moving forward; even with the return of Connor McDavid energizing the Edmonton offense, the Finnish winger won't see any meaningful spike in production.

Korpikoski (foot) made his return to the lineup after a three-game layoff Saturday against Nashville.

EDGE Analysis

Korpikoski has been a solid producer in the Oilers' bottom-six forward group this season, with six goals and six assists through 39 games. The vet should see himself in the lineup night in and night out as long as he stays healthy.

According to Oilers coach Todd McLellan, Korpikoski (foot) is likely to participate in pregame warmups and is shaping up to be a game-time decision for Saturday's home tilt against the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

Korpikoski has missed the past three games with his foot ailment. Even when the 29-year-old's been on the ice, the Oilers have kept his minutes somewhat limited. He's averaging 14:28 of ice time this campaign and this is the fourth straight year of diminishing ice time for Korpikoski, starting in the 2011-12 campaign when he averaged 17:08 with the Coyotes. Fantasy owners in shallow leagues probably don't find much value in a forward with just 12 points and a minus-7 rating through 38 contests.

Korpikoski (foot) is expected to miss Thursday's game against the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Koprikoski has missed each of the last two contests because of a foot injury, and there's no indication he will return Thursday. Assuming that's the case, the winger's next chance to play now comes Saturday against the Predators.

Korpikoski (foot) will miss the game Tuesday versus the Lightning.

EDGE Analysis

Korpikoski took a shot off the foot Saturday and now has soreness that will keep him from playing. At this time it expected that he will return Thursday in Dallas.

Korpikoski is expected to sit out Monday's game against the Panthers due to a foot injury, Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Journal reports

EDGE Analysis

Korpikoski wasn't on the ice for morning skate Monday, all but assuring he will miss the contest. Luke Gazdic is expected to draw into the lineup in his place, making the winger's next chance to play Tuesday assuming he misses as expected.

Korpikoski scored a hat trick and fired six shots on goal in Friday's win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

A dominant evening from the third-liner, who helped the Oilers to their fifth straight victory. Korpikoski now has six goals and eight points in 22 games on the season. Offensive nights like this are rare from him, especially considering he usually doesn't shoot much. Korpikoski's already matched his goal total from last season, though, so if he sticks on the second power-play unit and continues to shoot more, he could produce some more goals in a bottom-six role.

Korpikoski (head) will return to the lineup Wednesday against the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Korpikoski has been sidelined since Oct. 27 with the head injury, but it appears he's finally past the issue. The Oilers will need to make a roster move to accommodate his return, but that will likely come at some point Wednesday. Korpikoski will likely slot in on either the third or fourth line.
