Pitlick has been sidelined by an undisclosed injury since December 31st, but he is expected to be back in the lineup tonight vs. the Kings. Pitlick will skate on the third line with Anton Lander and Matt Fraser. Pitlick has one goal in 14 games with the Oilers this season.
Pitlick was a plus-1 and had one shot in 9:57 TOI in his season debut on Monday. In 14 games in Oklahoma City (AHL), Pitlickhad three goals and six assists. He could have some value in daily fantasy leagues, but the way things are going for the Oilers right now, I wouldn’t have too much faith.
Pitlick, 23, has registered three goals and six assists in 14 games with OKC this season. In 10 games with the Oilers last season, he had one goal and a minus-2 rating.
Pitlick, 22, has eight goals and 14 assists (22 points) in 38 games with OKC this season. He scored his first NHL goal on October 26 and then promptly got hurt in the same game. That goal is his only point in three games with the Oilers this season.
Pitlick had been recovering from a knee injury that has kept him out of the lineup since October 26. He could return to the Oilers once he gets back up to speed in the AHL.
Pitlick was the 31st overall pick in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft. He has 11 goals and 25 assists (36 points) in 113 games with OKC - including one goal and two assists in seven games this season. Both Ryan Smyth and Jordan Eberle are questionable for tomorrow's game, if one of them can't go, Pitlick would slide into the lineup.
No immediate fantasy hockey value in the AHL.
