- Reports from early April 2026 indicate Colton Dach was activated off Long-Term Injured Reserve by the Edmonton Oilers after missing about 11 games with a lower-body injury, and he was lined up to potentially be a healthy scratch in the near term. This followed earlier March updates that placed him on LTIR due to injury.[3][4]
- Updates in late April 2026 noted Dach appearing in Edmonton’s lineup and contributing within the season, with CBSSports highlighting his season totals (3 goals, 10 points, 195 hits across 56 games between Chicago and Edmonton) and mentioning his activation from LTIR. You’ll see similar summaries across outlets like FOX Sports, which repeat the activation details and the surrounding impact on the Oilers’ depth.[2][3]
- Other sources in March–April 2026 tracked his LTIR status and recall history, including Yardbarker’s recap of the Oilers’ roster moves and Dach’s injury status during that period, as well as general coverage from Yardbarker and Fox Sports on the Oilers’ injury timeline and lineup decisions.[1][4][3]

- Recent production: 3 goals, 10 points, 195 hits in 56 games across his Chicago and Edmonton tenure this season; his role has included bottom-six depth and physical play.[2]
