Oilers' Underperformers Ready to Rise | Edmonton Oilers News

The Edmonton Oilers are looking to bounce back in 2026-27, and several players with rough 2024-25 seasons still hold serious upside. Tristan Jarry’s shaky start was hampered by injury and a weak defense — don’t write him off yet. Isaac Howard lit up the minors with 24 goals and 50 points; he just needs NHL ice time to unlock his potential for a 15-20 goal season. Jake Walman, locked into a massive contract, struggled with injuries last year but has the skating, shot, and offensive tools to be the defenseman the Oilers paid for — if he stays healthy and consistent, he can deliver. The key? All three need to play their best, stay on the ice, and prove their talent isn’t buried under bad circumstances.
