Oilers place forward Andrew Mangiapane on waivers

Mar 1, 2026 | 11:16 AM

EDMONTON — The Edmonton Oilers have placed forward Andrew Mangiapane on waivers, the NHL club announced Sunday.

Defenceman Alec Regula was also waived by the team.

Mangiapane signed a two-year, US$7.2 million deal with Oilers as a free agent last summer.

However, the 29-year-old left-winger struggled to produce in Edmonton.

Mangiapane has 14 points (seven goals, seven assists) in 52 games this season, along with a career-worst plus/minus of -19.
