Podkolzin skated in all 82 regular season games during the 2024-25 campaign, his first year with the Oilers, collecting eight goals and 16 assists for 24 points along with 48 penalty minutes.
He added another three goals and seven assists for 10 points over 22 playoff games, including two tallies in the Stanley Cup Final.
Acquired via trade by Edmonton from Vancouver in August 2024, the right-winger led all Oilers last season with 211 hits while averaging a career-high 13:13 time on ice per game.
Podkolzin also ranked fifth among Oilers forwards with 60:05 total time on ice spent on the penalty kill.
