Weekend Update, October 15 2017

6 years agoKailer Yamamoto leads this week’s performances for Oilers prospects, the young winger is playing in the NHL (3gp, 0-1-1) and delivered his first point at that level this week. He is averaging 12 minutes a night and has 10 shots in those three games. There are no guarantees he’ll stay past nine games, and maybe he doesn’t see the ice that many times this fall. What we do know is that he was one of the best (if not the best) players in an Oilers uniform on Saturday night. Yamamoto is writing an amazing story just a few short months after his draft day.
BAKERSFIELD CONDORS
The Condors have a lot in common with the Oilers right now, including one scoring line, goaltending in a slump and one win. Word today has Edmonton calling up a forward in the next few hours, any guesses? Jim Matheson mentioned Brad Malone, that makes sense. I’ll vote for Joey Laleggia or Jesse Puljujarvi, what with the lack of scoring on the wings with the big club currently.
