Latest News About Colton Dach

Here’s the latest on Colton Dach based on recent reporting:

• Colton Dach was activated off long-term injured reserve (LTIR) by the Edmonton Oilers in early April 2026 after an undisclosed injury sidelined him for a stretch. He returned to play in the Oilers’ final regular-season games, contributing a goal and an assist in that span.[5][6]
• Prior to that, Dach had been with the Oilers after being acquired around the trade deadline in 2026, with some reports noting he had limited scoring output in his Oilers tenure but remaining a depth option for the bottom six.[6][5]
• Earlier in the 2025–26 season, Dach had been with the Chicago Blackhawks prior to the trade, and his early-season development included making his NHL debut with Chicago in January 2025, followed by some productive stretch with the IceHogs in the AHL before moving up, though those earlier details are historical context rather than the current status.[3][4]
