Earlier on Friday, defenceman
Travis Dermott was claimed from the Oilers by the Minnesota Wild after he was placed on waivers on Thursday.

Edmonton Oilers take precautionary measures following Evan Bouchard injury.
Obviously the Edmonton Oilers have recalled Josh Brown in the event Evan Bouchard is unavailable tonight.
According to Oilers Nation, Bouchard suffered an undisclosed injury on the play that coach Kris Knoblauch described as «nothing major.» According to Tony Brar of Oilers TV, Bouchard is 50/50 to play on Saturday afternoon against the Vegas Golden Knights and will be a game-time decision.
Josh Brown's last re-call for the Edmonton Oilers was during their easter Canadian road trip back in November.
