In 16 games this season, Lander put up a single goal and three points. He has been slotting in on the fourth line, alongside Mark Letestu and Tyler Pitlick. With his departure, the Oilers will likely be getting back the services of winger Matt Hendricks. According to head coach Todd McLellan, there is a “real good chance” he returns Saturday against Dallas.
The Swedish winger has struggled when it comes to puck possession, boasting a -9.1 relative Corsi and a -6.8 relative Fenwick. In the end, his stats don’t reflect too much conflict, due to the fact that he is a plus-4 so far.
