The 24-year-old got off to a fast start last season but struggled to produce at times in the second half — including in the playoffs — after sustaining injuries and spending time in the NHL’s COVID-19 protocols.

He added three points during the Oilers’ 16 playoff games — one goal and two assists.

Puljujarvi was selected fourth overall by the Oilers in the first round of the 2016 NHL Draft.

He has played 259 games, tallied 46 goals and 52 assists along with 76 penalty minutes with a plus/minus of +18.
