There appears to be some good news surrounding three injured Oilers players, as the latest update revealed all appear to be making progress toward returning. <a href='https://www.nhl.com/oilers/' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>The Edmonton Oilers</a> might soon have a much healthier roster. <a href='https://www.nhl.com/standings/2025-04-01/wildcard' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Locked in a tight struggle with the LA Kings for second place in the Pacific Division</a>, the Oilers have been battling through severe injuries. Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl both missed games recently, although Draisaitl did play on Saturday against the Flames. Evander Kane has not played this season, and newly acquired Trent Frederic has also been out. That may be about to change. <h3>Frederic and Kane are skating, and McDavid is travelling with the team</h3> Both Kane and Frederic are set to skate with the team in the morning in Las Vegas, reports Sportsnet's Mark Spector. More encouragingly, McDavid has traveled with the Oilers on their four-game road trip. Trent Frederic and Evander Kane are expected to take the morning skate with the team today. - Mark Spector <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/SportsnetSpec/status/1907100593589829706'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/SportsnetSpec/status/1907118956907024658'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> While he will not play tonight, his traveling is <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl/injuries/edmonton-oilers-head-coach-kris-knoblauch-gives-a-crucial-update-regarding-connor-mcdavid-return-from-injury' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>a sign that he will be back later this week</a>. While not himself, McDavid is still sixth in league scoring with 90 points in 63 games. It sounds like Connor McDavid made the trip to Vegas with the team after all. - Mark Spector Bringing back Kane and Frederic would add offense and physicality to the bench. Both wingers are famous for their hard forechecking, which drives opposing defensemen crazy. Due to cap reasons, Kane won't be back until the playoffs, but that's still a good thing considering his indefinite timeline. Meanwhile, Frederic could get into games before the playoffs in order to set up his role with the team.
