Shore had just three assists, and 17 SOG through 29 games this season with the Oilers and has been returned to Bakersfield (AHL) after clearing waivers Monday. The 28-year-old has 404 career NHL games so will hope to be back up with the Oilers soon.
Shore last played on Dec. 31st and has been loaned to Bakersfield (AHL) for a conditioning stint. Shore can stay with Bakersfield for two weeks before he has to be exposed to waivers. He has three assists, 17 SOG and a +2 plus/minus through 29 games prior to the loan.
Shore has not played since November 19th but will draw back into the Oilers' lineup Monday after being a healthy scratch. The 30-year-old has struggled to produce this season in a bottom-six role collecting only one assist and 10 SOG through 16 games played.
Shore played 7:04 TOI in the Oilers' season opener, but Kailer Yamamoto and Warren Foegele were back on the ice for practice on Friday, suggesting they'll be back in the lineup on Saturday. So, Shore heads back to the AHL with Philip Broberg taking his spot on the NHL roster.
Shore may end up in the Oilers lineup on opening night with both Kailer Yamamoto and Warren Foegele questionable to play. Shore registered 11 points (5G /6A) in 49 games with the Oilers last season.

Shore is expected to miss 4-to-6 weeks with a lower-body injury, so he was placed on IR to open up a roster spot. The Oilers recalled Ryan McLeod to replace Shore in the bottom-6.
Shore tweaked something in practice this week and will not play in the Oilers season opener vs. the Canucks. With Shore out, Ryan McLeod will centre the fourth line between Kyle Turris and Brendan Perlini.
Shore tweaked something in practice on Monday and his status for the Oilers' season opener is unclear. In Tuesday's skate, Ryan McLeod centred the fourth line in Shore's place, so look for that configuration if Shore can't play.

Shore has bounced around the NHL in recent years, going from Dallas to Anaheim to Columbus since 2019 and now lands in Edmonton. The 26-year-old centre had five goals and seven assists (12 points) in 45 games in 2020 and appears destined to start the 2021 season on the Oilers taxi squad.
