Another month has gone by and the Oilers haven&#8217;t moved any closer to a playoff spot. Although, there were lots of changes made off the ice such as trades, injuries, and milestones. Here are the main ones:
February 15th, Cam Talbot was <a href="https://publish.oilersnation.com/2019/02/15/oilers-trade-cam-talbot-to-the-philadelphia-flyers-for-anthony-stolarz/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">traded</a> to the Philadelphia Flyers for 25-year-old, Anthony Stolarz.
February 17th, After spending five games down in Bakersfield with the Condors for a conditioning stint after a lengthy injury, <a href="https://publish.oilersnation.com/2019/02/17/edmonton-oilers-recall-andrej-sekera-from-the-bakersfield-condors/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Andrej Sekera was called back up</a> to play for the Edmonton Oilers.
February 18th, the team placed defenceman,<a href="https://publish.oilersnation.com/2019/02/18/edmonton-oilers-place-brandon-manning-on-waivers-for-purpose-of-assignment-to-bakersfield-condors/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> Brandon Manning, on waivers</a> for the purpose of assignment to the Bakersfield Condors, and was successful.
February 20th, <a href="https://publish.oilersnation.com/2019/02/20/wwydw-acquiring-a-former-oiler/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">a trade was made</a>, the Edmonton Oilers acquired Sam Gagner from the Vancouver Canucks for Ryan Spooner, one for one.
February 22nd, Connor McDavid was <a href="https://twitter.com/hockeyfights/status/1098859542090149888" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">suspended</a> for two games for a hit to the head on <a href="https://www.nhlnumbers.com/nhl-player-stats/nick-leddy" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Nick Leddy</a>.
February 23rd, Josh Currie scored his first NHL goal against Anaheim Ducks and on February 28th <a href="https://www.nhlnumbers.com/nhl-player-stats/colby-cave" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Colby Cave</a> scored his first as an Oiler against the Ottawa Senators.
Towards the end of the month, Jesse Puljujärvi was put on IR out of nowhere but then later was released that he <a href="https://publish.oilersnation.com/2019/02/28/jesse-puljujarvi-out-for-the-season-for-edmonton-oilers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">required hip surgery</a> and will be out for the remainder of the season. Oilers didn&#8217;t have a great month but Draisaitl sure did, he accumulated 12 goals and 5 assists and looks like he&#8217;ll be carrying that heat into March.
