Oilers’ Mattias Janmark Undergoes Surgery, Ruled Out for Season

Edmonton anticipates a September return, with Jason Dickinson and Colton Dach added to cover his minutes.

Overview

  • Kris Knoblauch said Janmark had an undisclosed procedure and will miss the rest of the regular season and playoffs.
  • The team expects him to be ready for 2026–27 training camp; the surgery was not specified but is suspected to be shoulder-related.
  • There is no immediate cap impact because Janmark was already on long‑term injured reserve with a $1.45 million hit.
  • To offset his absence, Edmonton acquired Jason Dickinson and Colton Dach from Chicago, with analytics indicating Dickinson offers a defensive upgrade.
  • Janmark’s season ends at 1 goal and 7 assists in 43 games after missing the first 16 contests and not playing since Feb. 25.
