Oilers Bringing In Several AHL Players Ahead of Game 6

The Edmonton Oilers are bringing in several AHL players from the Bakersfield Condors as Black Aces ahead of a must-win Game 6 against the Anaheim Ducks on Thursday. Head coach Kris Knoblauch expects 7–8 additional players available, including prospects Isaac Howard, Quinn Hutson, and James Hamblin, though they will not play in playoff action. The move addresses depth concerns caused by injuries to players like Adam Henrique and Jason Dickinson, while Connor McDavid is confirmed to play despite being banged up.
