- On Sunday, the Edmonton Oilers signed forward Colton Dach to a two-year contract extension with an average annual value of $1.2 million, keeping him through the 2026/27 season.
- Edmonton acquired the forward from the Chicago Blackhawks at the 2026 trade deadline; Dach made his Oilers debut on March 6, recording two goals and two assists in eight regular-season games.
