A couple of roster moves ahead of a marquee matchup on Sunday against the Vegas Golden Knights.
The Edmonton Oilers announced that forward Jack Roslovic has been activated from long-term injured reserve, with fellow forward Connor Clattenburg being placed on LTIR.
Forward Quinn Hutson has also been sent back down to the Oilers’ American Hockey League affiliate, the Bakersfield Condors.
Roslovic has been out of action since blocking a shot against the Dallas Stars on Nov. 25. While he was able to play in the third period of an 8-3 loss to Edmonton’s playoff rival, Roslovic missed the final 15 minutes of the second period after getting in the way of a try from Stars forward Tyler Seguin.
In the 11 games that the 28-year-old has been out of action, the Oilers have fared pretty well. Despite losing to the Minnesota Wild on Saturday night, Edmonton went 7-3-1 while Roslovic was recovering.
Roslovic, who joined the team after the start of the 2025-26 regular season on a one-year, $1.5 million contract, has been a welcome secondary scoring asset. In 23 games, the Columbus, Ohio native has netted 10 goals and eight assists for 18 points, and is just one of three Oilers to have double-digits in goals thus far.
As noted by Oilers radio man Bob Stauffer, Sunday’s game against the Golden Knights will mark the first time all season the team will have Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Jack Roslovic in the lineup at the same time.
Clattenburg, meanwhile, had been placed on IR earlier this month after suffering an eye injury against the Seattle Kraken on Dec. 4. With the 20-year-old going on LTIR, he wouldn’t be eligible to return until Dec. 29, when the Oilers visit the Winnipeg Jets. In five games, Clattenburg has a goal, his first in the NHL, coming in that lopsided defeat against the Stars last month.
Hutson scored his first NHL goal in a 3-1 victory over the Boston Bruins last Thursday, his lone point during his three games since being called up last week. The former Boston University Terrier has 28 points in 24 games with the Condors this year.
The Oilers (17-13-6) head into Sunday’s action third in the Pacific Division, four points behind the first-place Anaheim Ducks. Puck drop against the Golden Knights, who sit second in the Pacific, is set for 6 p.m. MT.
