Noah Philp finally scored his first NHL goal, completing a remarkable return from retirement. The Canmore native battled back from considering hanging up the skates to carve a role with Edmonton, assisted by Kasperi Kapanen on a crisp fourth‑line sequence. Leon Draisaitl iced the win with an empty‑net goal as the Oilers dominated Vancouver 3–1, outshooting the Canucks 37–15.

Philp’s journey from undrafted kid to University of Alberta standout, Bakersfield Condors, and back to the NHL spotlight offers a compelling fantasy angle: value in deeper line roles, opportunistic scoring, and the potential for a steady two-way contribution as he trims his game to the league’s pace. The Oilers leaned on the line and got a timely payoff.
