Carrick logged just 6:17 of ice time, registering one hit. Ryan has averaged 9:00 of action on the fourth line in the playoffs, recording one assist with six shots on goal and 21 hits.

Edmonton Oilers center Derek Ryan will enter the lineup for his 2024 postseason debut on Sunday for Game 4 of the team's best-of-seven series against the Los Angeles Kings. He will take the spot of center Sam Carrick on the fourth line. The veteran appeared in 70 regular-season games for the Oilers, notching five goals and 12 points in just 10:12 of average ice time per game. The 37-year-old didn't enter the league until the 2015-16 season and has tallied 81 goals and 203 points across 570 career games. He is skating in his ninth NHL season and also has 41 games of postseason experience under his belt, tallying three goals and nine points in that time.

Edmonton Oilers center Derek Ryan (undisclosed) won't be available for Sunday's matchup against Pittsburgh. The 37-year-old is reportedly dealing with a minor injury. He will miss his first game of the season. Ryan has done a decent job as Edmonton's fourth-line center, posting five goals and six assists in 58 games. He will be replaced on Sunday by Sam Gagner, who has totaled five goals and five assists in 26 outings. Gagner is a more productive player, but he's not in a great position to make an impact as a fourth-liner.
