The Edmonton Oilers haven’t had the smoothest start to the season, but one player who seems to be finding his rhythm is After recovering from a minor undisclosed injury, Janmark has seen a surge in his offensive production. Despite a slow start, his recent scoring uptick has him on pace for a potential career year.
Earlier this month, during a matchup against the Vegas Golden Knights, Janmark took a hard hit from that briefly sent him down the tunnel. Although he missed a few shifts, he returned to the game later. It was later confirmed that Janmark had sustained a minor injury, but it wasn’t severe enough to sideline him.
In the very next game, Janmark recorded the first three-point night of his career, tallying three assists. Showing no signs of being affected by his recent injury scare, he has since elevated his offensive production. Over the eight games following the Vegas matchup, Janmark has notched seven points—a significant improvement for the 31-year-old, who began the season with just three points in his first 14 games.
If he maintains this elevated pace, Janmark is projected to finish the season with a career-high 37 points. Interestingly, his recent surge has been driven entirely by assists, as his goal-scoring has remained stagnant. His first and only goal of the season came during the Battle of Alberta at the start of November.
