The Edmonton Oilers acquired Adam Henrique ahead of the 2024 trade deadline to play in their top nine, mainly as the third-line centre.

While he had some short-lived success on a line with Mattias Janmark and Connor Brown that spring, Henrique has become an offensive blackhole.

The Oilers are only scoring 1.13 goals per hour in Henrique’s 5-on-5 minutes this season, which is less than half the league average, and ranks dead last on the team. Edmonton simply doesn’t score when Henrique is on the ice, and his individual production has reached a career low.

Henrique hasn’t helped the Oilers control shots and chances at even strength since his arrival........
