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.
