Connor Brown will draw back into the lineup for the Oilers on Thursday, making Ryan a healthy scratch. Ryan has only played once in the last three games and has not scored a point in his last 11 games.

Ryan will draw into the Oilers lineup in place of Connor Brown for Tuesday's game against the Canadiens. Ryan has five goals and six assists in 61 games this season.

Ryan had 13 goals, seven assists, 92 SOG, 28 PIMs and a +11 plus/minus through 80 games in 2022-23 with the Edmonton Oilers and has signed a two-year, $900,000 AAV contract extension on Tuesday. The 36-year-old centre has played in 500 career NHL games, scoring 76 goals and 191 points.

Ryan will take a seat as Markus Niemelainen draws into the Oilers' lineup Tuesday. Ryan has struggled in two games this season, collecting only one shot while averaging only 9:30 ATOI.

Ryan joins Connor McDavid and Tyson Barrie in COVID-19 protocol and will not play Wednesday. With two centres out, Kyle Turris and Colton Sceviour will likely have to shift to the middle of the ice.

Ryan has missed the last two games with a concussion that he suffered in a collision with Mark Scheifele on November 16th. Ryan will be back on the Oilers' fourth line and comes into Tuesday with one goal and a minus-10 rating in 15 games.

Ryan suffered a fractured finger on Thursday and will most likely come out of the lineup on Saturday. Byron Froese was promoted and is expected to replace Ryan in the bottom-6.

It looks like Ryan will come out of the Flames lineup on Thursday, with Austin Czarnik replacing him. Ryan has recorded just two points (1G / 1A) in nine games with the Flames.

Ryan was a late-bloomer, spending three years in the WHL, four years at the University of Alberta, three years in Austria, one in Sweden and one in the AHL before making it to the NHL. Ryan had 15 goals and 23 assists (38 points) in 80 games with the Hurricanes. Ryan was top-10 in the NHL in face-off percentage last year and can also chip-in on the power-play. The 30-year-old has ties to Flames head coach Bill Peters, who was just let go in Carolina.

At 30-years-old Ryan came out of nowhere in 2016-17. After being in Europe for four years, Ryan signed with the Hurricanes in 2015-16 and posted 55 points (23G / 32A) in 70 AHL games. He enjoyed more AHL success early last year before being called up and registering 29 points (11G / 18A) in 67 NHL games. Ryan carries strong possession numbers and should be a quality depth centre for the Hurricanes in 2017-18.

Ryan has been recalled on a few separate occasions, appearing in five games with the Hurricanes. He has two goals in those games and comes up from Charlotte, where he has 23 goals and 32 assists (55 points) in 70 games.
