Isaac Howard

21-Year-Old Left WingLW
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Howard agreed to a three-year, entry-level contract with Edmonton in the summer after being acquired from Tampa Bay. The 21-year-old forward collected 26 goals and 52 points in 37 games with Michigan State University in 2024-25. He will get every opportunity to secure a roster spot with the Oilers out of training camp and should land a place in the team’s top nine. Howard’s offensive upside makes him an intriguing option in keeper formats, and he could have plenty of fantasy value in standard leagues if he plays alongside Leon Draisaitl or Connor McDavid in 2025-26.  Read Past Outlooks

November 18, 2025
Howard scored twice in AHL Bakersfield's 5-2 win over Calgary on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Howard was sent down to Bakersfield on Friday, and he's already earned two goals and two assists over two games with the Condors. The 21-year-old didn't get much of a chance at the NHL level, earning three points over his first 17 games. Howard could get a call-up if he continues to dominate the AHL.

Slated to make NHL debut Thursday

October 8, 2025
Howard is set to make his NHL debut during Wednesday's Opening Night matchup against Calgary, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.
ANALYSIS
Howard was initially expected to return to Michigan State for the 2025-26 season, but that changed after he was traded to the Oilers from the Lightning in July. He signed a three-year, entry-level deal with Edmonton upon being dealt and will see NHL playing time to begin the regular season. Howard will serve in a bottom-six role early in the year and could move between Edmonton and AHL Bakersfield if he struggles to carve out consistent playing time in the NHL.
