In a surprising move, the Edmonton Oilers have decided to place goaltender Jack Campbell on waivers with the intention of assigning him to the AHL. This decision comes amidst the Oilers' quest to solidify their goaltending situation.
Following this move, it appears that the Oilers have a clear plan in mind. The team is expected to recall Calvin Pickard from AHL Bakersfield once Campbell successfully clears waivers.
Calvin Pickard has been making waves in the AHL this season, boasting an impressive .939 save percentage. In addition to his strong AHL performance, Pickard also brings a wealth of NHL experience.
The hope is that Pickard's arrival will provide a boost to the Oilers, potentially leading to a few much-needed victories. This, in turn, may offer Jack Campbell the opportunity to regroup and rediscover his form, ensuring that the goaltending situation in Edmonton becomes more stable.
As the Oilers move forward with this plan, all eyes will be on how this goaltending strategy unfolds in the coming games.
