EDMONTON OILERS NEWS

Connor Brown - Unlikely to play Thursday Brown (undisclosed) is skating on his own Thursday, according to Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic.

Impact Brown has missed the last two games and is not skating with the main group of Oilers. He has yet to pick up a point in nine games with the Oilers this season. The Oilers will owe Brown $3.25 million in bonuses if he plays 10 games this season and you have to wonder if this could be the reason he is not in the lineup.

Mattias Janmark - Unavailable Thursday Janmark (shoulder) didn't join the Oilers for the morning skate, per Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic, so he's not expected to play Thursday versus San Jose.

Impact Janmark has missed four straight contests because of the shoulder injury. He has no points, a minus-2 rating and seven shots in seven games this season. When he returns, Janmark will likely serve in a bottom-six role.

Stuart Skinner - Slated to face Sharks Skinner is set to start on the road against San Jose on Thursday, per Mark Spector of Sportsnet.

Impact Skinner has struggled mightily this season, posting a 1-4-1 record, 3.99 GAA and .856 save percentage through seven contests. However, Jack Campbell was doing even worse and was reassigned to AHL Bakersfield on Wednesday. Edmonton called up Calvin Pickard, who will backup Skinner on Thursday, in a corresponding move. With Campbell in the minors, Skinner has an opportunity to rack up starts for Edmonton if he bounces back. It helps Skinner's quest that the Sharks have by far the worst offense in the league, averaging just 1.17 goals per game.

OILERS NOTES: A touch of irony with Pickard replacing Campbell in the nets Pickard may wear a ball cap more than a mask if the Oilers want to ride Skinner now that Campbell is with Bakersfield.

Jack Campbell - Passes through waivers Campbell went unclaimed off the waiver wire and was reassigned to AHL Bakersfield on Wednesday.

Impact It's an indication of how poorly Campbell has played this season that no other team was willing to put in a claim for the netminder. On the year, the backstop is 1-4-0 with a career-worst 4.49 GAA and .873 save percentage. No doubt Campbell's $5 million cap hit played a factor as well. In a corresponding move, Calvin Pickard has been added to the NHL roster.

Calvin Pickard - Called up to NHL Pickard was summoned by Edmonton on Wednesday.

Impact Pickard has a 2.03 GAA and a .939 save percentage in four contests with AHL Bakersfield this season. The 31-year-old goaltender is expected to compete with Stuart Skinner, who has struggled this campaign, for starts moving forward. Jack Campbell went unclaimed on waivers and was reassigned to Bakersfield.

Impact In 41 games since signing a five-year, $25 million contract with the Oilers in July of 2022, Campbell has posted a 22-13-4 record with one shutout, a 3.53 GAA and an .886 save percentage. He has a registered a mark of 1-4-0 this campaign with a 4.50 GAA and an .873 save percentage through five appearances.
