Oilers' Kasperi Kapanen found the back of the net, but it wasn't enough to secure a win. In a tough 5-2 defeat against the Maple Leafs on Tuesday, Kasperi Kapanen managed to score a goal on three shots. He also contributed defensively with four hits during the game. This goal marks his return to the scoresheet after being sidelined by an undisclosed injury that kept him out for three games. Since rejoining the lineup, Kapanen has accumulated two points in his last four appearances. Overall, his season statistics now stand at four goals, 11 points, 35 shots on net, 38 hits, and a respectable plus-7 rating across 18 games played. When he's been healthy, Kapanen has shown he can be a valuable asset. However, the 29-year-old does come with a notable risk of further injury. But here's where it gets controversial... some might argue that the potential reward, especially playing alongside a talent like Leon Draisaitl, makes taking that injury risk a worthwhile gamble. What do you think? Is Kapanen's current production worth the potential for him to miss more time? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below!
