Edmonton Oilers add forward Curtis Lazar in free agency

  • On July 2, 2025, the Edmonton Oilers brought back Curtis Lazar by agreeing to a one-season deal valued at $775,000.
  • Lazar’s addition comes as the Oilers move on from Corey Perry and Connor Brown and look to enhance their roster depth and physical presence following a demanding stretch of games.
  • Thirty-Year-Old Curtis Lazar from Salmon Arm, B.C., appeared in 48 games for New Jersey during the 2024-25 season, recording two goals and a total of five points while winning 51% of his faceoffs.
  • Over his 11-year NHL career, Lazar has appeared in 572 games, totaled 47 goals and 78 assists, and earned a reputation for physical play and defensive reliability.
  • This under-the-radar signing aims to add a stable, physical fourth-line forward who can ease defensive pressure and provide penalty killing at a low cap hit for Edmonton.
