The return to the ice on Wednesday night for their first game after the Olympic break. They'll take on the , and they'll do it with reinforcements (aside from Connor McDavid, who is confirmed to be suiting up to play). Matt Savoie was called up from AHL Bakersfield, and Savoie has one special skill. He's a pretty unexciting winger, except when you put him on the penalty kill. On the PK, Savoie is better than anyone the Oilers have. "Savoie has the lowest rate of any Oilers forward when it comes to making mistakes on the PK that lead to Grade A shots against," . "In Ray Boone Jersey 90 minutes of penalty kill time on ice, Savoie has made just 12 mistakes leading to Grade A shots against, the lowest rate of anyone on the team, just 0.27 mistakes on Grade A shots per two minutes of PK time. Compare that to veteran Mattias Janmark who has made 25 such mistakes in just 64 PK minutes, a rate of 0.78 per two minutes."

He was traded to the Oilers in July 2024 for Ryan McLeod and Tyler Tullio. Savoie has played in 62 games for the Oilers, including 58 this season. In 2025-26, Savoie has nine goals and nine a sists. He's a minus-2. He also has 28 blocked shots and 10 hits.
