The Edmonton Oilers face a challenging time as they have recalled goaltender Olivier Rodrigue from the AHL, following an injury to their starting netminder, Stuart Skinner. Skinner suffered an injury during the third period of a recent game against the Dallas Stars. This incident leaves the Oilers without their premier goalie as they start a crucial road trip, already impacted by the absence of star players Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl.

Rodrigue, who has gained experience with the Bakersfield Condors, steps in as the backup to Calvin Pickard. His performance will be closely monitored as the Oilers strive to maintain their playoff position in the competitive Pacific Division. With the team currently sitting in third place, every game counts as they aim for a strong finish to the season.

The Edmonton Oilers have made a significant roster move by recalling goaltender Olivier Rodrigue from the AHL on an emergency basis. This decision follows an injury sustained by starting goaltender Stuart Skinner during the Oilers' recent game, where he collided with Dallas forward Mikko Rantanen.

Skinner's injury is particularly concerning as he will miss the upcoming road trip, which starts with a game against the Seattle Kraken. The Oilers are also missing star forwards Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl due to lower-body injuries, creating a challenging situation for the team as they strive to maintain their competitive edge in the Pacific Division.
