Kasperi Kapanen was claimed off waivers by the Edmonton Oilers after struggling with the St. Louis Blues, where he recorded only one goal in ten games this season. A veteran of the NHL, Kapanen has played parts of five seasons with the Toronto Maple Leafs and three seasons with the Pittsburgh Penguins before joining the Blues midway through the 2022-23 campaign. Over his career, he has tallied 85 goals and 124 assists in 470 regular-season games. The Oilers, looking to improve their offensive output, hope Kapanen can contribute to their scoring challenges.
