Ingram will start Saturday's road clash in San Jose, per Paige Martin of Oilers TV.

Ingram is set to appear in his third consecutive game out of the Olympic break. He'll enter Saturday's clash with momentum after making 21 saves in an 8-1 win against the Kings on Thursday. Overall, the 28-year-old goaltender has a 7-5-1 record, a 2.58 GAA and an .899 save percentage over 15 outings this season. San Jose has a respectable 3.04 GAA this season. Ingram's solid sample of play following the Olympic break could give him a chance to grab the starting job in Edmonton if he can use Saturday's contest to launch a win streak.

Kapanen (undisclosed) will play Saturday in San Jose, per Oilers TV reporter Paige Martin.

Kapanen missed Edmonton's past two games due to the injury. He has two goals and 12 points in 19 appearances with Edmonton in 2025-26. If Kapanen was unavailable for Saturday's contest, Alec Regula might have suited up as the seventh defenseman because the Oilers don't have any extra forwards on the roster.

Kapanen (undisclosed) was deemed a game-time decision for Saturday's road matchup in San Jose.

After missing each of Edmonton's first two games out of the Olympic break, Kapanen has a shot to return to the Oilers' lineup in Saturday's contest. The 29-year-old forward has dealt with multiple injuries throughout the regular season, which have kept him out of the lineup for all but 19 games. However, when he has been healthy, Kapanen has been a strong secondary scoring option, with five goals and 12 points. If he suits up Saturday, the veteran winger will probably occupy a bottom-six role.

Andersen will patrol the home crease against Detroit on Saturday, per Peter Dewar and Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.

Andersen has gone 0-0-2 in his past two outings for the Hurricanes while surrendering seven goals on 64 shots. He has a 7-10-5 record this campaign with a 3.26 GAA and an .871 save percentage through 22 appearances. Detroit ranks 20th in the league with 2.95 goals per game during the 2025-26 season.

Regula has completed his conditioning stint with AHL Bakersfield and is back with the Oilers, the team announced Saturday.

Regula has been with Bakersfield since Feb. 18. He has a goal and three points in three outings with the AHL squad as well as three assists across 29 appearances with Edmonton this season. Regula is frequently a healthy scratch with the Oilers, so his stint in the minors was an opportunity for him to get into some games.

Strome (illness) didn't participate in Saturday's practice, Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune reports.

Strome also sat out Friday's 5-4 overtime win over Winnipeg because he was under the weather. He has produced three goals, eight points, 35 shots on net and 16 hits across 32 appearances this season. Once he has recovered from his illness, Strome could still be a candidate to be a healthy scratch.

Booth was recalled from AHL Ontario on Saturday.

With the Kings placing Andrei Kuzmenko (knee) on injured reserve Saturday, Booth was summoned to Los Angeles in the corresponding move. Across 42 games with Ontario this season, the 21-year-old blueliner has nine assists, 10 points, a plus-one rating and 29 shots on goal. Booth will have a chance to make his NHL debut with the Kings if he can work his way into one of the top three pairings or if Drew Doughty (lower body) misses time.

Kuzmenko underwent knee surgery for a torn meniscus and is on injured reserve, the team announced Saturday.

Kuzmenko is regarded as week-to-week, and it wouldn't be surprising if he's out for quite a while. The 30-year-old has 13 goals and 25 points in 52 outings in 2025-26. The Kings recalled defenseman Angus Booth from AHL Ontario to fill the roster spot created by putting Kuzmenko on IR.

Askarov will patrol the home crease in Saturday's clash with Edmonton, per Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.

Askarov will get the nod for his second start since the Olympic break, and his fourth in a row dating back to the beginning of February. He has gone winless over his last four outings with an .874 save percentage, which is marginally lower than his season average. Across 36 appearances this campaign, the 23-year-old netminder has a 17-16-2 record, a 3.52 GAA and an .888 save percentage. He'll have a tough task in net Saturday against an Edmonton team that ranks third in the NHL with 3.52 goals per game in 2025-26.

Mukhamadullin (personal) will be in the lineup against Edmonton on Saturday, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

Mukhamadullin was a healthy scratch against Calgary on Thursday and missed Friday's practice for personal reasons. He has three goals and four assists over 26 games this season. Mukhamadullin will replace Timothy Liljegren in Saturday's lineup.
