Bad injury news sparks major transaction by the Oilers
The Edmonton Oilers have made significant roster adjustments with a five-player transaction announcement.
Defenseman Philip Broberg, along with forwards Adam Erne and Raphael Lavoie, received the call-up from the AHL's Bakersfield Condors, making an emergency move in terms of recent injury news.
However, the news took a somber turn as forwards Mattias Janmark and Dylan Holloway found themselves placed on Long-Term Injury Reserve. Janmark's status is retroactive to Nov. 26, indicating a challenging period ahead for the Oilers without these key players.
