Sam Gagner, a recent signing, was called up by the team, and Connor McDavid expressed his excitement.

With his third stint with the Oilers, Gagner has been impressing the team with his AHL performance.

He scored 1 goal and 5 points in 3 games with the Bakersfield Condors.

With all the offensive help they need, Gagner will be an excellent addition to the team.

Connor McDavid expressed his happiness that Gagner was healthy and back in the NHL.
