By the Numbers: #28—Jack Roslovic’s New Chapter in Edmonton

Jack Roslovic didn’t come to Edmonton looking to reinvent the wheel. He showed up with a simple goal: play his game, earn his minutes, and see where a fresh opportunity might take him. Wearing jersey number “28”, he’s quickly become one of those players fans across Oil Country start to appreciate more and more the longer they watch him.

28: A Fresh Start That Actually Clicks

Roslovic arrived after a strong season in Carolina, where he contributed 22 goals and 39 points. For a player who’s moved through a few NHL cities, though, Edmonton offered something appealing—stability, a clear role, and a chance to help a contender that needed more punch outside its top stars.

Sometimes that’s all a player needs. A new situation, a coaching staff willing to let him play to his strengths, and a number on his back that feels right. Roslovic didn’t need a big headline. He just needed a landing spot that made sense.

Early-Season Snapshot: Making the Most of It

In 23 games as an Oiler (to date), Roslovic has been exactly what the Oilers hoped for—and maybe a little more. Double-digit goals (10) and steady production; he’s shown he can keep pace with skilled linemates, win his battles, and spark offense without forcing anything.

Is he grabbing national attention every night? Not necessarily. But within the Oilers’ lineup, he’s filling that essential “glue guy” role: the one who lets the stars be stars while quietly helping to push the team in the right direction. Every deep playoff run has players like this. Oilers fans know it well.

Why the Newest #28 Works in Edmonton

There’s something straightforward and honest about Roslovic’s game, and number “28” seems to suit that. Whatever the night demands, he can usually handle it. For a team built around world-class elite talent, the adaptable middle-six players often end up being the difference between a good season and a great one. Roslovic doesn’t need to dominate; he just needs to keep doing the little things that make the Oilers harder to play against.

28: A Number Worth Keeping an Eye On in Oil Country

Right now, jersey number “28” feels like one of those under-the-radar stories that quietly shapes a season. Roslovic isn’t chasing a reinvention—just making the most of the chapters ahead. And if he keeps this pace, fans across Oil Country may look back and realize that number “28” played a bigger role than anyone expected when the season began.
