Oilers Call Up Black Aces for Game Six

0:00It's April 29th. I'm Corey with The Story, and this is Edmonton Oilers News Today. AI-powered updates on your squad. The Edmonton Oilers are beefing up their squad with black aces from the Baker's Field Condors ahead of Game 6 against the Anaheim Ducks in California. Coach Chris Noblouche confirmed the call-ups will join for morning skates and practices before Thursday nights do or die, match-up. The Condors just got knocked out of the Calder Cup playoffs, finishing their first round series with a loss to the Coachella Valley Firebirds in a 3-game decider, expect names like Isaac Howard, Quinn Hudson, Roby Juventy, and Alec Regula to show up. They all saw action with the Oilers during the regular. Season, logging anywhere from 3 to 29 games. These reinforcements come at a perfect time with the Oilers' thinnet center. Adam Henrique has been sidelined since Game 1. Jason Dickinson missed a couple, and even Condomick David was a game time call before Game 5.

1:00No clear return day for Henrique yet. Right now, they've got 13 forwards rotating, with Trent Frederick as the healthy scratching Game 5 so Colton Dot could return after sitting. Sick? Curtis Lazar's face off skills on the penalty kill kept him and over Frederick, and Spencer Stasney's hanging as the extra defenseman ready if needed. With these extra bodies, no block won't sweat line of shortages anymore, especially after some close calls. It gives the team real options to push through elimination and keep the playoff run alive.
