Travis Dermott re-joins the Edmonton Oilers after being claimed from the Minnesota Wild, where he had a brief stint following his initial time with Edmonton. The 28-year-old defenceman had a limited impact with the Oilers, registering no points in 10 games before his waiver move. Selected 34th overall by the Toronto Maple Leafs in the 2015 NHL Draft, Dermott has been a part of five teams and boasts 62 points over his career. His return adds depth to the Oilers' blue line as they navigate the ups and downs of the season.

The Minnesota Wild bounced back from a tough loss to the Edmonton Oilers by defeating the Philadelphia Flyers 4-1 at Xcel Energy Center. Kirill Kaprizov shone with two goals, reaching a team-high 20 for the season, while Matt Boldy celebrated his 200th career point. Goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury made 20 saves, marking his 1,003rd NHL start, tying him with Patrick Roy for third most in history.

Despite injuries to key players, including Joel Eriksson Ek and Jakub Lauko, the Wild demonstrated resilience. The return of Mats Zuccarello and Jonas Brodin bolstered the team, contributing to a strong performance. The victory improved the Wild's record to 6-0 following regulation losses, showcasing their ability to reset and perform under pressure.

The Edmonton Oilers have lost defenseman Travis Dermott to the Minnesota Wild after he was claimed off waivers. This move follows the Oilers' acquisition of Alec Regula from the Boston Bruins.

The New York Islanders also placed Pierre Engvall and Oliver Wahlstrom on waivers, with other NHL teams having 24 hours to claim them. If unclaimed, they will be assigned to AHL Bridgeport.

Dermott, who has struggled with the Oilers, may fill a gap in the Wild's defense due to injuries to Jake Middleton and Jonas Brodin.

Rob Brown discussed the Edmonton Oilers' upcoming 10-game stretch on the Kyper and Bourne Show, emphasizing its significance for the team's future. He noted that the current roster differs from the one that faced disappointment in Game 7, with key players lost on defense.

The Oilers will face strong competition, which will reveal their strengths and weaknesses. Brown believes that if the team struggles, a trade for a defenseman may need to happen sooner than originally planned.
