Good news for the Edmonton Oilers as two depth pieces as both Kyle Turris and William Lagesson cleared waivers.
The two were placed there Sunday amid a slew of other players.
For Turris, he’s likely to stay in Edmonton in a depth role as either a fourth-line player or a 13th forward. Lagesson, meanwhile, is likely destined for the American Hockey League’s Bakersfield Condors, where he’ll be heavily relied upon in what will surely be top-four minutes.
Opening day NHL rosters are due at 3 p.m. MST Monday.
