The @Edmonton Oilers got good news this morning finding out that forward @Kailer Yamamoto will draw back into the lineup Monday night.
The Oilers are set to take on the @Nashville Predators at 6 p.m. MST.
Yamamoto will slide back in on the DRY line alongside @Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and @Leon Draisaitl. Injured on Feb. 23 when his ankle got caught underneath him, Yamamoto missed four games.
He’s been a star for the Oilers since his late December recall scoring nine goals and 21 points in 21 games this season.
The Oilers assigned @Markus Granlund to the Bakersfield Condors Saturday to make room for Yamamoto’s return.
