The Oilers announced Wednesday that Podkolzin is returning home to Russia to be with his family, asking for privacy on his behalf.

Podkolzin had signed a three-year contract extension worth US$2.95 million annually on Tuesday.

The 24-year-old from Moscow tallied eight goals and 16 assists in 82 regular-season games last season, adding three goals and seven assists in 22 playoff games during the Oilers’ run to the Stanley Cup final.
