Emberson notched an assist and two hits in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Emberson ended a 13-game point drought with the helper. Prior to that slump, he earned four assists in a six-game span from Nov. 25 to Dec. 9. The 25-year-old blueliner continues to see regular usage on the third pairing and the penalty kill. He's produced eight points, 23 shots on net, 57 hits, 67 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating across 39 contests.

Emberson notched an assist and two PIM in Tuesday's 8-3 loss to the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Emberson ended his eight-game point drought with a helper on Connor Clattenburg's first NHL tally. The 25-year-old Emberson has been scratched five times in November, though he should have a steady path to playing time as long as Jake Walman (undisclosed) is out. Emberson has four points, 15 shots on net, 29 hits, 32 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 20 appearances this season, mainly in a third-pairing role.

Emberson scored a goal on two shots and added three hits in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Mammoth.

EDGE Analysis

Emberson's second-period tally put the Oilers ahead 4-3, and it stood as the game-winner. The 25-year-old defenseman has held a steady third-pairing spot in the lineup, but he's been limited to three points in 11 contests, with his goal Tuesday snapping a five-game slump. Emberson has added 11 shots on net, 14 hits, 18 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating. That kind of production isn't likely to attract much interest in fantasy unless his offense gets far more consistent.

Emberson posted an assist in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

Emberson picked up his first point in four games when he set up Ryan Nugent-Hopkins' second-period tally. The 25-year-old Emberson is in a bottom-four role to begin 2025-26, and barring injuries, that's likely where he'll stay throughout the year. He's added four shots on net, seven blocked shots and a plus-2 rating while averaging 15:09 of ice time, which is in line with last year.

Emberson signed a two-year, $2.6 million contract extension with the Oilers on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Emberson finished the regular season with two goals, 13 points, 125 hits and 97 blocks in 76 outings. The 24-year-old has served primarily in a third-pairing capacity in 2024-25, averaging 15:07 of ice time, but he might find himself as a healthy scratch on occasion in the playoffs should the Oilers' blue line get healthy -- presently, Edmonton is missing Mattias Ekholm (undisclosed), John Klingberg (lower body) and Troy Stecher (undisclosed). However, Klingberg might be an option for Monday's playoff opener versus the Kings.

Emberson scored a goal, dished an assist and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 3-0 win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Emberson had a total of 13 points this season, with both of his goals and one of his assists coming in four games versus the Sharks, his former team. The 24-year-old added 62 shots on net, 125 hits, 97 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating over 76 appearances. If the Oilers' blue line was fully healthy entering the playoffs, he wouldn't be a lock to play, but Mattias Ekholm (undisclosed) is expected to miss time while Troy Stecher (undisclosed), Jake Walman (undisclosed) and John Klingberg (lower body) are all questionable heading into Game 1 versus the Kings. As such, expect Emberson to be in the lineup at least at the beginning of the postseason.

Emberson scored a goal, added three hits and blocked two shots in Friday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

The Oilers were at nearly full health in mid-to-late March, which started to see Emberson get bumped from the lineup. Injuries have since piled up on the blue line again, allowing him to play in eight straight games. He scored his first goal of the season Friday, and it came against the team that gave him his NHL debut in 2023-24. Emberson has 11 points -- one more than last year -- while adding 60 shots on net, 118 hits, 95 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating through 73 appearances in 2024-25.

Emberson was scratched for a fourth straight game in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Mattias Ekholm's six-game absence due to an undisclosed injury in the middle of March allowed Emberson to stay in the lineup for a while after the Oilers acquired Jake Walman. With the team's blue line now at full health aside from John Klingberg (undisclosed), Emberson appears to be the odd man out most of the time. The 24-year-old blueliner went without a point over 11 appearances prior to his trip to the press box, which likely didn't help his cause. For the season, he has 10 assists, 56 shots on net, 102 hits, 86 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating over 65 outings.

Emberson logged an assist in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Emberson has three helpers over 11 outings in January, matching his output for all of December. The 24-year-old defenseman doesn't get a lot of chances to chip in from the third pairing, but he's been in the lineup steadily since late October. Emberson has eight assists, 38 shots on net, 70 hits, 62 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 46 games.

Emberson recorded an assist, two hits and a plus-3 rating in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

Emberson has two helpers over his last three contests. The 24-year-old defenseman continues to hold down a regular role on the Oilers' third pairing, and he appears to have a bit more security in the lineup than Troy Stecher or Josh Brown. For the season, Emberson is up to seven helpers, 35 shots on net, 62 hits, 60 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating across 42 appearances.
