| #LetsGoOilers 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.
Oilers optional skate this AM. So no viewing of the lines.
Here's what they rolled out yesterday:
Foegele - Draisaitl - McDavid
Kane - Nugent-Hopkins - Hyman
Holloway - McLeod - Brown
Gagner - Ryan
Ekholm - Bouchard
Nurse - Ceci
Kulak - Broberg

Already this week, Garner signed a one-year, two-way deal with the Edmonton Oilers for a salary of $775K AAV.
Based on DailyFaceoff.com, Gagner will be paired with Derek Ryan on the left wing.
