The Edmonton Oilers are taking on the Los Angeles Kings for Game four at 8:30 PM mountain time tonight. The Oilers will look to not have a repeat of Game two - where the Kings were able to get the first two goals of the game and win 5-4 in overtime.
The Oilers are looking to go with Stuart Skinner in between the pipes for a fourth consecutive playoff game. But now the team has options.
In addition to calling up Philip Broberg they have also recalled Jack Campbell. Campbell has sent down to the Bakersfield Condors right before Kris Knoblauch took over as the Oilers head coach.
He posted excellent AHL numbers this season. In 33 games he had a 18-13-1 record along with a 2.63 goals against average (GAA) and a .918 save percentage (SV%).
Campbell brings a ton of depth to the goalie position for the Oilers going down the playoff stretch. Last year Campbell looked fantastic filling in when Skinner struggled.
With the Condors officially eliminated from the Calder Cup playoffs, this move isn't entirely surprising. It's also possible that they recall several other players to boost the team's depth.
His locker room demeanor will be a welcomed addition to the team as the grind of the playoffs continues.
