Edmonton Oilers News

With the trade of Brett Kulak to the Pittsburgh Penguis, the Oilers need reinforcements on the blueline and have recalled Stillman from the Bakersfield Condors (AHL). The 27-year-old Stillman has 26 points (4G / 22A) in 163 career NHL games, but has primarily played in the AHL for the past three seasons.

Poulin was a first-round pick of the Penguins in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft, but has yet to make an impact at the NHL level, appearing in only 15 career games. The 24-year-old forward had 20 points (9G / 11A) in 22 games with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (AHL) this season.

With the Oilers struggling to find consistency in net with Stuart Skinner, rumors have regularly circulated about the team looking to improve the position. They hope to have found that improvement in Tristan Jarry. The 30-year-old Jarry had a forgetful 2024-25 season, including a lengthy demotion to the AHL, posting an ugly 3.12 GAA and .892 SV% in 36 games with Pittsburgh (16-12-6). He was off to a semi-resurgent 2025-26 season, posting a 2.66 GAA and .909 SV% in 14 games before being traded (9-3-1). Jarry has battled inconsistency throughout his career and has a limited, but troubling playoff history, appearing in only 8 total games (2-6-0) while posting a 3.00 GAA and .891 SV%.

Stastney was a fifth-round pick of the Nashville Predators in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft. The 25-year-old defenseman became an NHL regular for the first time this season, averaging 14:52 time-on-ice and scoring nine points (1G / 8A) in 30 games. He will likely suit up on the Oilers' third defensive pair, replacing Brett Kulak, who was sent to the Pittsburgh Penguins in a trade earlier today.

Walman returned to practice last week, seemingly nearing a return, but was placed on Long-Term Injured Reserve, guaranteeing he will be out of the lineup for at least 10 more days. The 29-year-old defenseman has not played more than 65 games in a season since becoming an NHL regular in 2021-22. He has 10 points (3G / 7A) in 17 games this season.

Clattenburg made his NHL debut last month and has one goal in five games with the Oilers. He will sidelined indefinitely due to an eye injury.

Frederic exited practice with an apparent upper-body injury on Wednesday and did not return. He has struggled making his presence felt since joining the Oilers last season, but is showcasing his grit and toughness, suiting up on Thursday against the Detroit Red Wings. The 27-year-old Frederic has only three points (2G / 1A) in 30 games this season.

Jones has 64 points (32G / 32A) in 284 career NHL games, but has spent most of the previous two seasons in the AHL. The 27-year-old forward has seven points (5G / 2A) in 17 games this season with the Bakersfield Condors (AHL).

After a rough end to November, posting a 3.05 GAA and .857 SV% in two games (1-1-0), Jarry has returned to his early-season form to start December, with a stellar 1.95 GAA and .935 SV% in three games (2-0-1). The 30-year-old Jarry has a solid 2.54 GAA and .913 SV% in 13 games this season (9-2-1). The Penguins enter the action on Thursday as -118 home favorites against a Montreal Canadiens team coming off an embarrassing 6-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Frederic exited practice with an apparent upper-body injury and did not return. It is unclear if he will be ready to suit up when the Oilers return to action on Thursday against the Detroit Red Wings. The 27-year-old Frederic has only three points (2G / 1A) in 30 games this season and has struggled making his presence felt since joining the Oilers last season.

With Evgeni Malkin (upper body) and Blake Lizotte (undisclosed) placed on Injured Reserve, Pittsburgh has recalled Danton Heinen and Samuel Poulin from Wilkes-Barre Scranton (AHL). Neither drew into Pittsburgh's lineup on Tuesday, but Heinen will remain with the team while Poulin returns to the AHL. The 24-year-old Poulin has been excellent in the AHL this season, with 20 points (9G / 11A) in 21 games.

Kapanen has been on long-term Injured Reserve since suffering an undisclosed injury on October 19th. He was reportedly nearing a return to the lineup, but suffered a setback at practice two weeks ago. Before his injury, the 29-year-old Kapanen had two assists in six games.

Roslovic has not played since November 25th and will likely remain sidelined for another two or three weeks. The 28-year-old Roslovic signed with the Oilers after the season already started, and was immediately a solid fit, scoring 18 points (10G / 8A) in 23 games.
