Kasperi Kapanen Targeting December Return

Edmonton Oilers right wing Kasperi Kapanen (undisclosed) is aiming to return to action in early December, the Oilers' play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels reports. The Finnish forward missed a 10th straight game on Saturday against the Colorado Avalanche. Prior to sustaining an undisclosed injury, Kapanen recorded two assists in six games this season and averaged nearly 2.7 hits. When Kapanen returns, he will likely be limited to a bottom-six role unless there are additional injuries to Edmonton's frontline. The team has been missing Zach Hyman (wrist) and Mattias Janmark (undisclosed) to start the season, but both players are expected to be back in the lineup by the time Kapanen returns.

Kasperi Kapanen Exits With Injury Sunday

Edmonton Oilers right wing Kasperi Kapanen (undisclosed) made an early exit against the Detroit Red Wings on Sunday. Kapanen had a busy day at the office in a 4-2 loss with three hits and one block across 5:43 of ice time, but he had to exit the game early in the second period. Kapanen has tallied two assists in six games this season, while handing out 16 hits. Curtis Lazar and David Tomasek are the candidates to step in for Kapanen if he can't play in Tuesday's matchup against the Ottawa Senators. The two players should not generate any fantasy interest.

Kasperi Kapanen Returns to Oilers Lineup for Game 6

Edmonton Oilers right wing Kasperi Kapanen will re-enter the lineup on Tuesday against the Florida Panthers. Following 11 consecutive appearances, Kapanen was scratched for Saturday's Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Finals. However, he will be brought back into the lineup for Tuesday's elimination game, with Viktor Arvidsson heading to the press box. Kapanen was a healthy scratch on Saturday despite contributing an assist during a 5-4 overtime victory in Game 4 of the series. In total, he has picked up six points (three goals, three assists) in 11 playoff appearances this year. Kapanen will play alongside Leon Draisaitl and Evander Kane on the second line, making him an interesting DFS option on Tuesday.

Kasperi Kapanen Won't Play on Saturday

Edmonton Oilers right wing Kasperi Kapanen will be a healthy scratch for Saturday's Game 5 against the Florida Panthers. The 28-year-old has enjoyed a decent postseason, registering six points (three goals, three assists) in 11 outings, but Viktor Arvidsson will take Kapanen's spot in the lineup on Saturday. Arvidsson was scratched for Game 4 of the series. He has produced two goals and seven points in 14 outings. While Kapanen skated on the second line for the Oilers, Arvidsson will rejoin the action as a fourth-liner. Corey Perry will return to the top six for Saturday's game.

Kasperi Kapanen Stays Productive in Finals Opener

Edmonton Oilers right wing Kasperi Kapanen contributed two assists in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime win in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals against the Florida Panthers. He picked up the helpers on goals from Leon Draisaitl and Mattias Ekholm, giving Kapanen a three-game point streak. The 28-year-old started the postseason as a healthy scratch but has emerged as an important player for the Oilers, boasting five points (three goals, two assists) in eight playoff appearances. The Finnish winger has settled into a second-line role next to Draisaitl, placing him in an excellent position to make an offensive impact.

Kasperi Kapanen Scores Series-Clinching Goal

Edmonton Oilers right wing Kasperi Kapanen netted the only goal of the game as the team closed out the second-round series against the Vegas Golden Knights with a 1-0 overtime victory on Wednesday night. He ended the game at the 7:19 mark in overtime, with Leon Draisaitl and Darnell Nurse collecting the assists. This was a great moment for Kapanen after he had started the postseason as a healthy scratch. It wasn't until Game 4 against Vegas that he was brought into the lineup. The 28-year-old has been eager to impress, recording seven shots and eight hits over two appearances. Kapanen has been skating on the second line next to Draisaitl, making him a value option for DFS managers.

Kasperi Kapanen Moves To First Line Saturday

Edmonton Oilers right wing Kasperi Kapanen will skate on the first line in Saturday's matchup against the Rangers. The Oilers are without Zach Hyman (undisclosed) and Viktor Arvidsson (undisclosed), opening the door for Kapanen to play a larger role. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Connor McDavid will join him on the line. Kapanen's fantasy stock receives a boost by the move, but he's more expected to be a physical force on the line. The Finnish forward registered four hits in 12:10 of ice time when he made his Oilers debut in Thursday's 5-3 loss to Minnesota.

Kasperi Kapanen Exits With An Upper-Body Injury Tuesday

St. Louis Blues right wing Kasperi Kapanen sustained an upper-body injury in Tuesday's 8-1 loss to Ottawa. He recorded one shot and two hits across 6:37 of action in the contest. Kapanen was drafted into the lineup due to Mathieu Joseph's (lower body) absence. Nathan Walker could now be the next man up. Walker has managed one assist with five shots in five games this season. Fantasy managers should leave him on the waiver wire.

Kasperi Kapanen Set To Return From Seven-Game Absence

St. Louis Blues right wing Kasperi Kapanen (lower body) is on track to rejoin the lineup on Saturday against Buffalo. The 27-year-old has been sidelined for the past seven games with a lower-body injury. Kapanen sits on four goals and 13 points through 42 appearances. He's had a bad year, averaging the fewest points since 2017-18. However, Kapanen filled a second-line role in Friday's practice, and a spot in the top six could give him a boost.

Kasperi Kapanen To Miss Four Weeks

St. Louis Blues winger Kasperi Kapanen will miss at least the next four weeks due to a lower-body injury. The 27-year-old was injured blocking a Nick Seeler shot in the third period of the Blues' 4-2 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers on Monday. The speedy forward was recently promoted to the Blues' top line but will instead hit injured reserve for at least the next month. It's been another subpar season for the veteran who has tallied just four goals and 13 points across 42 games with the Blues this season, his first full year in St. Louis. Kapanen has appeared in 429 career NHL regular-season games with 82 goals and 199 points in that time between the Maple Leafs, Penguins, and Blues.

Kasperi Kapanen Battling Minor Upper-Body Injury

St. Louis Blues right wing Kasperi Kapanen missed Tuesday's preseason game against the Blue Jackets with an upper-body injury. The Finnish winger was scheduled to play in the contest but ended up sitting it out. According to head coach Craig Berube, it's only a minor issue for Kapanen, so the 27-year-old should be able to get some action in soon. Kapanen is set to start his first season with the Blues. He had a decent 23-game spell last term after being picked up off waivers, posting eight goals and six assists.

Kasperi Kapanen Placed On Waivers

Pittsburgh Penguins right wing Kasperi Kapanen was placed on waivers on Friday. The 26-year-old has struggled to contribute offensively with only two goals scored over the past 16 games in January and February, along with a minus six rating in his third season with the Penguins. Kapanen has seen his ice time decrease as a result of his inconsistency this season, and he is not worth rostering across any fantasy format at the moment.

Kasperi Kapanen Returns To Action Tuesday

Pittsburgh Penguins right wing Kasperi Kapanen (lower body) will be welcomed back to the lineup Tuesday against Colorado. He is returning after missing five games with a lower-body problem, and Kapanen is projected to skate on the third line with Brock McGinn and Jeff Carter. The Finnish winger has struggled to stay productive this season, sitting on only 17 points through 35 games. He's been a healthy scratch multiple times and Kapanen could easily head back into the press box soon if he can't hit the ground running on Tuesday.

Kasperi Kapanen Considered Week-To-Week

Pittsburgh Penguins right wing Kasperi Kapanen will miss Friday's matchup against Ottawa and is considered week-to-week with a lower-body injury. It's been a difficult season already for Kapanen and he has now received a new blow with the injury. The 26-year-old has tallied only six goals and 17 points in 35 games this season while averaging a measly 11:45 of ice time per game. Fellow struggler Danton Heinen will take Kapanen's spot in the lineup Friday.

Kasperi Kapanen Hits His Second Career Hat Trick

Pittsburgh Penguins right wing Kasperi Kapanen celebrated his second career hat trick in Saturday's 6-2 victory over St. Louis. Two of his goals came on the power play, and Kapanen had already found the net twice before the first intermission. He had four shots in total in the game and registered two hits in 12:01 of ice time. Somebody seems to have pushed the right button on Kapanen this week because he has doubled his points tally for the season in just two games. The 26-year-old had a goal and an assist in Thursday's 4-3 win over Vegas. However, how long his hot form lasts is anyone's guess. Kapanen is just a few games removed from a lengthy stint in the press box.

Kasperi Kapanen Scores Only Goal In Pittsburgh Win Friday

Pittsburgh Penguins right-winger Kasperi Kapanen lit the goal lamp on Long Island Friday as that was the only goal needed. In the 1-0 road win over the New York Islanders, Kapanen did have three shots and three hits to go along with his fifth goal of the season. The Finnish forward now has 12 points in 20 games this season. He had gone six games without a goal before the late second-period marker which came off a nice feed from Sidney Crosby. That allowed Kapanen to swoop in and score. While Kapanen is not shooting at 16.2% like last season, his shooting percentage is now 10.9%.

Kasperi Kapanen Nets Three Goals In Loss

Pittsburgh Penguins winger Kasperi Kapanen entered his 10th game of the 2021-22 season with zero goals but he found the back of the net on all three of his shots during the 5-4 shootout loss to the Minnesota Wild. The goals also broke a four-game pointless streak for Kapanen, who now has seven points on the season. Fellow winger Bryan Rust, playing in his first game since Oct. 14, recorded two assists and fired six shots on net as he looked to make up for lost time. Still available in 21% of Yahoo leagues, he's a potentially interesting pick-up who's scored 49 goals with 98 points over the past two seasons (111 games).

Kasperi Kapanen Notches Two Goals In Overtime Victory

Pittsburgh Penguins winger Kasperi Kapanen picked up two goals in Thursday's 5-4 overtime victory against Washington, getting to double figures for the campaign. Colton Sceviour and Jared McCann each had two assists. Kapanen missed the start of the month with a lower-body injury, but he's come back strongly by averaging a point per game in five outings. He's up to 26 points in 35 games with a nice plus-15 rating, 58 shots and 41 hits. Kapanen gets a chance to go to work against the Capitals again on Saturday. The Finnish winger has posted three goals and five points in six games in the matchup this season.

Kasperi Kapanen Week-To-Week With Injury

Pittsburgh Penguins forward Kasperi Kapanen has been listed as week-to-week with a lower-body injury and will miss his team's contest with the Buffalo Sabres on Thursday. The 24-year-old was only able to skate for 10:46 of ice time in Wednesday's win over the Sabres. The injury news comes as a shot to both the Penguins and Kapanen fantasy owners alike as the skilled winger had really found his game this month with 11 points (four goals, seven assists), a plus-five rating and 21 shots in 13 games in March. Expect Zach Aston-Reese to jump into the Penguins' top-six forward group while Kapanen is sidelined.

Kasperi Kapanen Out From Rematch With Buffalo

Pittsburgh Penguins winger Kasperi Kapanen will miss Thursday's rematch with the Sabres due to a lower-body injury. He played less than 11 minutes in Wednesday's 5-2 win over Buffalo and is listed week-to-week. The Finnish winger has been in fine form for Pittsburgh this season with 21 points, 48 shots and a plus-12 rating in 30 games. The hits just keep coming for the Penguins, who are already without multiple forwards, including star center Evgeni Malkin (lower body). Zach Aston-Reese has moved up to the top-six, and he posted two points in Wednesday's win, so fantasy managers should have him on their radar.
